Family-friendly vacation rentals in Athlone

We had a family break March 2025. 12 family members, the accommodation was perfect for us. Great kitchen/dining room for socialising/eating. Never felt on top of each other 6 of the bedrooms had en-suite shower room and there was also a downstairs cloakroom off of the main hall. All of the 5 double bedrooms downstairs had en-suites and one of the double bedrooms upstairs. We all loved coming back 'home' after a day out. Great outside facilities, plently of logs for the sauna, hot tub. Excvellent views. Beautiful stary skies on clear nights with zero light polution! Will be staying again, already planning our 2026 stay! Marian was extremely responsive both before and duting our stay, as was the local caretaker who responded almost immediatley to a maintenance request we had during our stay

It is a beautiful location. House is cosy and comfy. Good location to recharge your batteries and enjoy quality time.

Beautiful house , was lovely to have the fire and hot tub lit for us, so cozy definitely recommend

We had a wonderful three-day stay at Mary’s place! The surroundings are beautiful, and the location is convenient with great access to the town. The price was very reasonable for everything that was offered. Even though the weather wasn’t perfect, the hot tub and sauna made our trip so much more enjoyable — they turned rainy days into relaxing afternoons. Sitting by the dock with a cup of hot tea, watching the water, was one of the most peaceful moments of our stay. Thank you, Mary, for providing such a cozy and lovely getaway!

This was our second stay at Mark’s Eden Retreat Cottage. We stayed there last year and loved it so much we came again this year. The size was perfect for a small group of friends on a combined business and leisure trip. We love the spacious kitchen and especially the little fireplace. The surroundings are beautiful and peaceful and just a short trip into town for supplied, pubs, busses, shopping, etc. Last year we used the hottub but this year it was out of service. Mark notified us in advance of this and compensated us for the inconvenience, which I appreciated very much.. Mark is a great communicator! Will stay again. Thank you!

Such a lovely place, stayed here for 2 nights for a girls weekend away. It was the perfect location to relax and unwind, with the hot tub and the beautiful horses. The suite was spotless and cosy. Caroline was so kind, friendly and helpful throughout the entire stay. 100% would love to go back.

William was a great host with good recommendations for local places. Comfortable quarters and potential access to hot tub with additional charge.

We had the best experience! Loved the place, the stay, and the overall atmosphere. Dermot and Monica were incredibly friendly and made our night and stay at Ox Mountain Lodge truly special. Worth every penny — we’ll definitely visit again! We came back with lots of wonderful memories.❤️

We stayed at Margaret's family farm the last 4 days of our 12 day trip. it was truly beautiful, peaceful, and terrific for finishing up an amazing trip. Margaret and her brother William are gracious hosts and full of ideas for day trips in the area, should you wish to explore. Her farm is just lovely and horses, as well as her dogs Jess and Max are friendly. Highly recommend this location for a peaceful and fulfilling vacation with a terrific central location in Ireland!! A+++

My brother and myself were paying a visit to relatives who live in the area..we found Sheila’s air B&B to be very accommodating..very homely ..warm ..private ..as my brother described it to being like “ home from home “.accommodation was very clean and well equipped .We could not find fault at all . We met Sheila before departing and had a lovely friendly chat and discovered she knew our relatives . We would definitely use this accommodation again if it met our requirement dates .

Really liked our stay at Terri's place in Ballinamore. It was very clean and well equipped, well located and very comfortable. Highly recommended.

This is our second stay at Patricias house. The house is really spacious, clean and well maintained with lots of rooms for family activities. The surroundings are really quiet and peaceful but only a few minutes drive to a few lively areas with good pubs and restaurants. Lots to do in the house and garden, the bikes are an added bonus. We have always found Patricia to be very friendly and helpful, a fantastic host. Thank you again for letting us stay in your lovely home.

Chris & Collettes apartment was perfect for our couples get away, and so close to everywhere we wanted to visit in Sligo. They also could not have been more prepared, everything ready from their super handy recommendation folder to the instructions on how to use the things in the apartment. Couldn't recommend higher, loved the stay and would visit again. R&F

If you're looking forward a nice quiet place to stay. this is the place for you. Location is great, right in the heart of the country. Yet a short distance from the local town. The house is nestled along a lovely quiet boreen. The cottage is really nicely kept, very comfortable and cozy, and full of charm. Everything you need for your stay is provided. It was a great safe space for our dog to run around. This was our second trip back, and won't be our last. Enjoy Xx

What can we say Truce Cottage is beautiful exactly as advertised. So peaceful & close to loads of tourists amenities. The cotton was presented in pristine condition throughout, the directions & instructions to entering the cottage was effortless. Celine was a wonderful host nothing was to much bother & her replies were very quick we loved everything about our stay here. Ballymore Eustace is a quaint little village with loads of lovely walks & very friendly people, the Ballymore Inn is definitely worth a visit the food is fabulous service is excellent. If your looking for an Airbnb we would definitely recommend Truce Cottage you won’t be disappointed we will definitely be back, Celine makes your visit so effortless & thinks of everything you might need for your stay. Thanks again for everything Celine Ronald, Mona & Nicole (USA)

We had such a lovely time on the maud gonne boat. A lovely relaxing experience(once we got the hang of driving the boat) Siobhan was so friendly and welcoming when we arrived. She went through everything about the boat with us and how to drive it which after a while was a breeze. If we needed anything we were able to text Siobhan and she would get back to us in no time. I have to give a special mention to sean at the fishermans pub, what a gentleman. He gave us a tour around the pub and was so knowledgeable and interesting to speak to. Me and my partner thoroughly enjoyed this trip, the comfort of the boat, waking up in nature to beautiful surroundings and sounds, and all the wildlife we saw along the way. We cannot wait to return.

my family and I had a great week at the Coach house, and the house was spacious and very well equipped and clean. the main attractions are outdoors! the lake at the bottom of the driveway! the beach, the private hot tub was amazing and so spacious. the games room was fab! everyone loved it, from the adults to the kids, hours of entertainment 😀 highly recommend 👌

great place. came with 9 guests for a birthday and were very happy

Our stay at Sarah's Airbnb in Ireland was absolutely amazing!! Sarah was incredibly kind and generous. She drove my daughter and son-in-law to the airport (they were leaving before the rest of us), took us to the grocery store after we arrived, and picked up a few extra groceries for us during the week. She gave us fantastic local food & restaurant recommendations as well. The home was clean, spacious but cozy and perfect for our family of eight. We especially enjoyed the indoor pool, the water temperature was perfect and it was so nice to relax in after a day of exploring Dublin. The bus station was just a few steps away and made the travel back and forth to the city so effortless. Sarah kind, friendly hospitality truly made our trip so very special! We all had such a great time and highly recommend staying here!

We enjoyed our stay. The cottage is in beautiful surrounds and the facilities such as the tennis court, billiards room and swimming pool were a bonus. Marshall gave great food recommendations as well, thanks for a lovely stay!

We absolutely loved our stay at Rock Farm Slane! The place is so peaceful, surrounded by nature, making it the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle. Our dog, Zoe, had the best time exploring the wide, walkable spaces and taking in the beautiful sights. The atmosphere is serene, and it’s a wonderful spot to relax and unwind. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a tranquil getaway—especially for those with pets who love the outdoors! We’ll definitely be back.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
