Knights Cottage
Knights cottage is a beautiful original cottage which has been updated to a high standard with everything you would need for a comfortable stay, including utility room with a washing machine and tumble dryer,well equipped kitchen and large bedrooms. Very homely, warm with beautiful views of Lough Mask, within a few minutes walk away. We stayed as a family of 5 for a week and thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Thankyou Maura for being so accommodating and welcoming.

Marina View
We had a lovely stay. The apartment is very well equipped with everything we needed. There is a lovely view onto the marina from the balcony and we really enjoyed the peace and quiet of the area. It is in walking distance to restaurants and cafes along the river. Susanne was very helpful and let us know when the apartment was ready so we could check in. I will recommend this apartment to friends and family and hope to return soon.

Wild Atlantic Bus at Aishling Cottage
Richard's bus is absolutely amazing, we had a brilliant time. It is so unique and peaceful :)

Designer Luxury in the Woods
What a lovely home, nestled far away to get some peace but close enough to great restaurants and attractions. A lovely space for a group or family to enjoy time in the Irish countryside. Appreciated the welcome pack and website with recommendations and instructions. Great communication with our host throughout our stay, which made this a delightful experience.

Finlough House, Delphi
Absolutely gorgeous house and grounds, like something from a postcard. Everything you could need was in the house. House is bright and spotlessly clean. Great location. Handy adventure centre in the hotel a five minute walk from the house. Margaret is a fantastic host who made sure we had a great trip. Thank you Margaret. The Mancunian girls will come again!

19th century restored Irish stable by the lake
We had a short stay in the very beautiful accommodation offered by Aidan and Ciara. The accommodation is well placed to discover the surroundings and we feel that Aidan and Ciara do everything to make your stay go smoothly. Thanks to them!

Glann House
Good place of stay away from the busy city life. Lovely place of entertainment and the kids and grownups enjoyed playing there. Enough rooms to stay and lots of en-suite. Good number of towels and toiletries with extra stock if needed. Loved the stay and there were delicious scones waiting for us in the kitchen which we enjoyed and thank you for everything.

Large house overlooking spectacular Lough Mask
Amazing location and property. We booked for a family reunion and Celebrate my nephews graduation. It is a perfect house for large families. All the rooms are clean and good proportioned. Location is absolutely stunning. Our host Una is great and always responded to our queries. She welcomed us personally and even had some food like bread, milk, sweets and other stuff for us. Thank you Una for having us and checking on us periodically when the weather was bad. Highly recommended and will visit again.

Restful retreat beside the lake
What a peaceful and beautiful place to stay. We had the best time and if in this area (which is stunning in general) we will be back HERE. There was even coffee, I couldn’t wish for more (as I didn’t know what kind of machine I didn’t buy in advance) and water in the fridge, clear and super friendly communication, lovely hosts, the view!! You can only stay and enjoy this place!

Tranquil Seaside Mews on Clew Bay
We had an amazing stay! The space was so charming and beautifully decorated. The host was super welcoming. We would absolutely stay here again!

Cosy Apartment/ Explore The Area/Enjoy our Pub
Absolutely love this place. A very cool, quirky apartment. Comfortable and clean. Nice peaceful surrounding. Galway city is around 20 minutes away, nice drive too. I found the host really helpful, clear and simple instructions to check in. Would highly recommend. I'd definitely stay here again! ♡

Lovely sea side apartment in Louisburgh
A beautiful location. Super friendly hosts, there on arrival, fire lit, bread and eggs as a welcome too, happy days! Thoroughly enjoyed my stay, no rush with checking out, couldn’t have felt more safe welcome. Thank you

The Old Forge
Our stay with Regina was wonderful it's a great little get away; nice, peaceful, relaxing and great views all around. Regina was the perfect host greeting us at the door making us feel very welcomed, giving us tips on what to do in the local area and leaving us some of her signature scones to enjoy. I would highly recommend staying with Regina.

Altitude House Chalet
Great spot with awesome views and very peaceful. Mary supplied everything we needed and more, such a warm welcome after a long day travelling. The donkeys came and visited us in the morning which was a highlight. The house was spacious for us two and plenty of room for us. The driveway is located off the main road and I did have to double back to come in from a different angle but only because my car was quite wide for turning in. Once I had worked it out, it was fine. We loved the visit across to the Aran Islands and everyone is friendly. The weather was spectacular so we were very fortunate.

Carraroe apartment
A great place, local to all we required. Lovely clean beds, bathroom etc.

Harbour View Apartment
This accommodation was perfect. We were five adults attending a family wedding which took place at the Hotel which was next door to this accommodation. We even walked into the hotel in the morning and paid for breakfast. The accommodation was immaculate and I would highly recommend it.

Cummer Cottage Joyce Country Escape
Nora's place is phenomenal and you will have missed out at one of the best views in Ireland. This area is a nature lovers paradise. This is our 3rd time to Ireland and I had a top 5 list of places we have stayed and Nora's has definitely moved into my top tier of this list. DO NOT miss out on this beautiful cottage and property, I promise, you won't regret it!

CONNEMARA LAKE SIDE COTTAGE
Oh my goodness this place!!!! Absolutely stunning location, peaceful and private yet handy for a great choice of restaurants in Clifden. The cottage itself is just totally beautiful, spacious, clean, comfortable and the views are unreal. We’ve never spent so much time wanting to look out of windows!! The deer and the ponies were a bonus. Mary was great at communication. All in all my favourite Airbnb. Thank you so much for letting us experience this fabulous property in a magical area.

Cottage 431 - Oughterard
The landlords were always friendly, helpful and quick to reach. Fantastic setting directly at the lake. The furnishings are functional, the furnishings of the kitchen leave nothing to be desired. We felt right at home. I highly recommend it!

Galway Period Coach House
What a charming place! We loved staying here.

Joyce's Cottage
A beautiful cottage in a peaceful location with simply breathtaking scenery! We had a warm welcome from Piero, who did an excellent job welcoming us and sharing his knowledge of the local area. Simply outstanding!
