Family-friendly vacation rentals in Doolin

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.

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

Very happy stay at Nora's AirBnB. Spotlessly clean and able to cook each night in kitchen. Great location. Easy to find. A perfect base for exploring the area. Thank you.

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.

Excellent. We had a peaceful 2 nights at Sandras. A local taxi brought us to and from the village. We walked from the house to the Dun Aengus fort then got a taxi back to pick up our bags en route to the ferry. Sandra kindly let us store the bags at the house after check out. 5 stars 🌟

What a cool place. Walking distance to the cliffs and neighboring cows. A local farm dog even joined us on our walks. The house is absolutely unique- felt like living in a small stone castle. The hostess left us wine and we built a fire and curled up under her multiple quilts. We did have a little trouble with the shower (but we understand it’s an old house and that’s part of it) and the surrounding area outside the house was not private and is a working farm area with equipment, so expect that. But overall a very unique experience

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!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at The Derg House! From start to finish, the experience was fantastic. The house manager was incredibly accommodating and went above and beyond to provide us with a BBQ on short notice, which was a lovely touch. The house itself was spotless, and the beds were super comfortable, ensuring we had a restful stay. The bathrooms were well-equipped with shampoo and conditioner, adding an extra level of convenience. We also enjoyed the lovely outdoor sit-out area, perfect for relaxing and enjoying the surroundings. Highly recommend this place for a peaceful and comfortable getaway!

Having four bedrooms and two bathrooms is great, there's ample space, the wifi is great. The kitchen is quite well stocked for an airbnb (the included washing supplies for washing machine and dishwasher were greatly appreciated), and is very spacious and nice. The extra living room is very nice as well.

We loved our stay here! Cozy place that made for a great 3 day stay in Galway, which was the midway point in our road trip around Ireland. Everything you need is walking distance but the apartment was very private and quiet. Having the laundry machines was an added bonus for us as we packed light. Hosts were very responsive and helpful. Rory even came out to meet us on the sidewalk as we had a little trouble finding it (our fault, not their lack of instructions lol). On our last night our son got sick (too many oysters) and although we cleaned everything we could, we still managed to ruin a linen or two. They were incredibly kind and understanding. The only minor annoyance is the parking, but we pretty much ditched the car on a free side street and didn’t drive it until we left. Highly recommend getting over to Crane’s Bar on a Thursday night for the storytelling and live trad music. We brought our 10yo and it was really special to experience.

Padraic’s place was the perfect location in the heart of West End, Galway. He was an excellent host who was very responsive and flexible to my needs. The unit was a great 3 bedroom that had all you needed to a visit to this lovely city. I highly recommend it and will definitely be returning.

Noel was very welcoming, the house was spotless, very spacious, great location and he was responsive before and throughout our stay. Very happy overall!

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 had a lovely time at Patricia ‘s cottage with some homemade scones and lots of treats and fruits for us to share with our friends and children . Very peaceful place with all you need . I recommend it !

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!
