Family-friendly vacation rentals in County Galway

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.

A beautiful building lovingly restored in a great location if you like walks, beautiful countryside while still being near to towns and villages for a nice meal out. John was so helpful and friendly, it just started our break off on the right foot. Ps bring carrots for the donkeys in the paddock next door, the stars of the show

Idyllic spot for a restful holiday in unspoilt nature. Beautiful spacious home, stunning views from all windows, exceptionally confortable beds. Plenty of sofa space and cosy blankets for everyone. We enjoyed reading amd jigsaws by the fire, barbecue dinners on the decking, and relaxining in the jacuzzi in between passing showers. Enjoyed walking to the nearby lakes amd hills, and popping into Cong for afternoon tea and forest walk. Highly recommend this beautiful part of Ireland.

We were more than satisfied with the accommodation. We were greeted by horses and the extremely sweet little dog Minnie, and then by delicious scones in the apartment. The area is beautiful and we went on several day trips to Connemara National Park, Burren National Park, the Aran Islands/Cliffs of Moher and Galway. What's more, the area was just perfect for us and the children. My daughters loved feeding the horses and playing with Minnie the dog. Or, if it rains a little, there is additional room for playing, which is equipped with some toys, table tennis, etc. Maura responded quickly to minor problems and helped us out, and was generally very accommodating. If we ever visit Ireland again, we will definitely stop by here again.

Location was out of this world. We were very lucky with the weather too. It was one to remember.

A beautiful location and cottage, the wood burner makes it suitable for all weather conditions, and William was kind enough to restock the wood when we ran out. He also offered recommendations for walks and hikes

Pat and Mary Angela are marvellous hosts. When we arrived the fires were lit, the table was set and there were gorgeous scones made by Mary Angela. They are both so friendly and gave lots of recommendations of places to visit. Their lovely cottage is perfectly situated for exploring Galway. It is definitely a home from home. My husband and I along with our 3 adult children and 2 Jack Russells had a great time there and we had everything we needed. We also loved Pat and Mary Angela's cafe and bookshop in Oughterard Village. Well worth a visit. Couldn't recommend this cottage highly enough!

It felt like being home in the Irish countryside. Rita's farmhouse had everything we needed for a long stay including some fresh eggs and other items to get started. It was an absolutely lovely place, and I hope to return!

We loved our stay and would definitely come back. The cottage was set in such a stunning location. We enjoyed our time inside and out. A great spot for anyone wanting to enjoy the peace, quiet, and beautiful scenery. The cottage itself was adorable, clean, and comfortable.

We enjoyed our stay and appreciated having some extra space (not just one room) to ourselves. The cottage is very quiet and peaceful, although further from pubs/restaurants than we realized and very narrow, curvy lanes to get to the cottage so we made sure to be back before sunset every night. The cottage is as described and John was very friendly and even called a local restaurant to make a reservation for us for dinner.

John's little cottage was beautiful. The views from the cottage stunning. To be able to hear and see the ocean was so tranquil. John was extremely friendly and came to my rescue as I got a flat tyre . My dog Duke loved the beach he explored it for hours . If you want peace and quiet with the most beautiful views John's cottage is a must . I definitely will be going back again . Tbh I didn't want to leave there.

Great location, very close to the Latin Quarter / Quay Street. Very clean and comfortable living spaces. Great host!

Wonderful spacious apartment just outside of Galway. Very easy to get in and out of town on the 409 bus. Valerie is a friendly, very responsive. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here, both exploring the city and doing a day trip to the cliffs of Moher. We would definitely stay here again.

We had a wonderful stay! The host was incredibly responsive—quick to answer questions and even helped us with a minor issue (replacing fire alarm batteries) right away. The beds were super comfortable, and we really appreciated the thoughtful touches like a bottle of wine, butter, milk, coffee, bread, and jam waiting for us on arrival. The walk into Galway city was short and easy, but we especially loved the cozy bars and great atmosphere on Sea Street, just around the corner. Free parking was a bonus, just a few blocks away—about a five-minute walk. Highly recommend this spot for anyone visiting Galway!

Only a short stay but a truly lovely experience. The unit was spacious, comfortable, quiet and beautifully presented. The generosity of the breakfast that was provided was amazing - and delicious! Highly recommend Jan and Sandy New Zealand

This was our fourth time staying at Richard's Airbnb, and it was as fantastic as ever. Richard is extremely friendly, responsive, professional, warm, and welcoming. His Airbnb truly feels like home away from home in Ireland. The apartment is beautiful and always clean, the shower is great, the location is perfect, and we love exploring the area. Highly recommended!

We really enjoyed our stay. The accommodation was cozy and quiet. The property is beautiful and there were lovely grounds and woods to explore. John provided us with a fascinating tour of historic Lisdonagh House. They also gave us helpful recommendations for sites to visit in the area.

Mary's place was warm and homey. It is an old Irish cottage. She laid out a nice tea with homemade scones and soda bread for our arrival, which were delicious. She also had many things available for personal needs including food items and health and beauty aids. Mary shared advice on things to see and do in the area. We all enjoyed our stay at Bridgie's Cottage.

We loved our stay in Galway! The apartment had unbelievable views and within walking distance to many pubs and restaurants. Highly recommended!
