Lakeside house breathtaking silence Views 4 miles
Lovely house in beautiful, peaceful surroundings. Andrew was super helpful and very quick to respond to any questions. The house was so private and tranquil, really good space to get away from it all. Would highly recommend.

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
Fantastic weekend, truly unique stay! Our boys loved Richard's bus. They spent most of time alternating driving the bus :) It's larger than expected, very functional, it offers everything one would want and more. The location is great. Very peaceful and quiet, but just 5 mins from the nearby town, and easy driving distance from Connemara and all the beautiful local spots. Richard is a wonderful host. Very friendly, lots of tips for exploring the area. He also left us local butter and jam and homemade bread for break. Yum! Would definitely go back, and 100% recommend!

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
Finlough est chaleureuse et paisible. Le paysage est magnifique. La maison est très agréable. Nous avons passé un excellent séjour. Margaret est très réactive et très accueillante.

19th century restored Irish stable by the lake
Aidan and Ciara’s place was immaculate, peaceful, and overall a great place to stay with easy access to the city of Galway, nestled between nature and urbanization. The instructions were clear, and the host’s recommendations were very helpful!

Glann House
We had a wonderful stay at the beautiful GlannHouse! The rooms are very comfy and plentiful, and we were able to fit our party of 12 quite comfortably. The host was responsive and kind, and left some scones for us when we arrived! Would recommend this place for families and friends of any size!

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
Had an amazing time staying here! We would really love to come back 🙂 Felt like a home away from home ❤️ thanks so much for everything x

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.

Chalet Teach na hAirde
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!

Bundorragha Cottage in Delphi, Connemara
We had most amazing days at the cottage. The location is stunning with great access to the pier and activities. The cottage the spacious and has everything one needs including for a family like us. Would definitely come again and highly recommend! Thanks Deirdre !

Seaview Lodge Doonbeg- luxury on Wild Atlantic Way
Absolutely stunning cottage near the Cliffs of Moher. Fantastic restaurants within 10 minutes. Highly recommend!

CONNEMARA LAKE SIDE COTTAGE
La maison est à quelques minutes de voiture de Clifden. Mary communique toutes les informations nécessaires pour le trouver. C’est un logement magnifique qui est situé en pleine nature. Un beau lac est à proximité et visible depuis la maison. Il est bien équipé et très spacieux. On peut faire facilement de la cuisine pour tous les repas. Les chambres sont spacieuses et dotées d’une salle de bain chacune. Mary a été très attentionnée à notre arrivée et durant le reste de notre séjour. Elles nous a donnés beaucoup d’informations utiles sur les commerces aux alentours. Nous recommandons ce logement parce qu’il a répondu à nos besoins (famille de 4 personnes) On recommande pour sa proximité de nombreux sites touristiques comme kylemore, le parc du Connemara ou la Skyroad. Pour finir, nous recommandons aussi pour la bonne entente avec notre hôte. Ce fut une bonne expérience qui donne envie de revenir. Merci

Cottage 431 - Oughterard
Die Vermieter waren immer freundlich, hilfsbereit und schnell zu erreichen. Traumhafte Lage direkt am See. Die Einrichtung ist zweckdienlich, die Ausstattung der Küche lässt keine Wünsche offen. Wir haben uns direkt wohl gefühlt. Kann ich nur empfehlen!

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

Joyce's Cottage
Beautiful location, not to hard to get to as it's on Google maps but some of the roads were scary to drive on to us. If you're from Ireland or used to driving on smaller rural mountain-ish roads then it would be probably be fine. Host was very friendly and clearly wanted us to have a good time. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was very nice and updated. Lovely little getaway into Connemara.

the dairy cottage pocan
Sheila & Michael were great hosts and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at dairy cottage. They were communicative throughout and supportive with any queries including late check out! Highly recommend staying with them!
