Family-friendly vacation rentals in Bearna

Catherine’s accommodation is extremely homely and in beautiful surroundings. Not too close to the town but not too far either. Catherine is very friendly and welcoming and attentive to her guests. We enjoyed our stay from start to finish, we even stayed an extra night.

Collanmore Island Lodge is unreal, couldn't recommend it more! We had the best stag weekend ever here and Ciaran is a absolute gent. Getting to the island is easy and exciting, beds are comfy and facilities are top notch. Ideal for big family gatherings or any type of West of Ireland getaway. I will be back again for sure, thank you Ciaran and your great team.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Grattan Holiday Apartments, car parking out the back, spacious rooms, well-equipped kitchen and within walking distance to the beach, local pubs and restaurants. It's about a 20 minute walk into Galway city and taxi back is around €10. Highly recommend a stay here. Sean and Cathal are on hand if you need them and will recommend places to visit and eat

Our family loved the cottage. The views and sunsets were just beautiful. It is 2 minutes from Cliffs if Moher and about 8 minutfrom Doolin. It was a nice touch to have breakfast foods for the first morning. The hot tub was an added bonus. We had a great dinner at Russell Seafood and listened to music at McDermotts.

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!

John’s house was nice and clean and cosy. Bit further from Kinvarra than we expected but it was fine as we had a hire car. The house had everything we needed. We had a lovely stay. Would definitely recommend

We stayed at Mask Valley Lodge for two nights in April, driving all the way from Dublin—and what a stunning escape it was. Nestled in the heart of Mayo, this hidden gem offered the perfect mix of peace, comfort, and incredible scenery. Despite a few rain showers, the sun made several welcome appearances, painting rainbows across the valley and making the views from the deck and balcony feel like something out of a storybook. The lodge itself is beautifully presented, warm, and welcoming, with everything you need to truly unwind. The hot tub was a real highlight—perfect after a day exploring the nearby hills and mountains. We loved sitting out on the large decking area with a drink, soaking in the quiet (save for the occasional sheep!), and admiring the postcard-perfect views of Lough Mask and the surrounding landscape.Complete privacy, breathtaking sunsets, and a cosy evening fire made it a truly magical stay.

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.

This getaway is exactly what we wanted. The cottage was extremely cozy, and was quite charming. With tons of nature around us, no screens, and good company, the stay was incredibly relaxing. We had a great time thumbing through the materials and fun history of the cottage. William was extremely accommodating and was very responsive. We will absolutely be back!

Ed was a most gracious host. Offered recommendations in the area and very quick to respond to any questions. Would love to visit again someday

What a wonderful place! Beautifully tranquil in the heart of Burren country. The photographs do not do the property justice at all, the space seems more spacious and was thoroughly delightful. The only complaint is on myself having only booked two nights, I could have stayed so much longer. Will try to be back next year.

Another fantastic stay for 12 of us in this fantastic house with loads of space for adults, teenagers and younger children. Such an amazing location, close to beaches and the most beautiful walks . We’ll be back and I would recommend to anyone who wants to stay in this area, or anyone who does not know the area but wants a break in a beautiful rural house, easily shared with friends or other families.

Had an incredibly enjoyable stay in Marie’s cottage. I could not honestly say a bad thing. Marie and the others were incredibly kind and approachable. The cottage was clean and comfortable, it had everything we needed like pots and pans. The fridge had essentials such as milk, butter etc. they left us bread, coffee, tea… the location was great, right beside the green way and also if you took a right you would end up right in Westport quay. We took bikes with us and it only took us 18 mins max to get into town. Highly highly recommend staying here. Would come again 100%.

We had a very lovely stay at Rhona's cottage, which provided us with everything we need! The lake view in front of the house is amazing! A wonderful place worth visiting!

Beautiful location. Walkable to pubs and restaurants as well as the trail head to the Cliffs. Beautiful property surrounded by horses and cows with Spectacular views. Accommodations very good for one adult and 2 teenagers — ample space for more. Large apartment. Ample space. Clean. Breakfast was simple but sufficient. Friendly staff.

Karen was very nice and showed us her castle. Friendly dogs and fun to have chickens. The single room in the back of the residence was chilly, but we managed. Be sure to use the fireplace to stay warm!

myra,s place was close to the centre of westport 10 minutes walk on arrival very friendly and good chats,house was clean and tidy and having a kitchen was a bonus, I would highly recommend myra,s place

We had an amazing stay here. Veronica and Justin were fantastic hosts. They were very friendly and helpful. The location is beautiful and the house is so clean, cosy and comfortable. Would absolutely recommend for a stay in lovely Spiddal!

This was a wonderful private place to stay in. It was close to Galway and had a lot of local amenities within 10 minutes.

We were a large group and the house was perfect in every way. Large kitchen for cooking, living room for entertainment, four bathrooms and lots of places to sleep. Aside from the house being beautiful, the surrounding area was exactly what we had hoped for. It’s located at the end of a country road which then turns into a small dirt road to the beach. There are no visible neighbors around the house and having the beaux right there called for many relaxing walks. The host was accommodating and extremely responsive. The perfect house!

Barry was an excellent host and easy to communicate with. The apartment was a nicely renovated older apartment and very comfortable. The area was perfect to explore Ennis and walking distance to everything. The location was also great to get out and explore surrounding towns and areas. We very much enjoyed our stay!

What a fabulous place to stay and use as a base for the Ennis area. Angele was the perfect host providing detailed and helpful information and recommendations. The 2-bedroom unit was immaculately clean, and stylishly furnished. Would not hesitate to stay here again ... 10/10

A very spacious and comfortable apartment with a gorgeous view, sheep included. Close to town but feels like countryside. Town is a pretty 20 minute walk away. Regina is a devoted though not intrusive hostess, with lots of good suggestions for places to visit. Nearby Westport has natty shops and fine food. Try Hotel Wyatt — try their magnificent mussels. The region is a seafood haven.
