Unique Upstairs Accommodation with Lake Views
An excellent place to stay. Family stay close by so this was an ideal place to book for our accommodation for the event we attended. Have recommended to others already.

Modern & cosy lakeside house in stunning Loughrea.
excellent location. check in was seamless. house had all the amenities I needed and more. couldn't fault anything. Will definitely rebook if I need to stay in Loughrea again

Amazing 3 bedroom house in City
Lovely stay in a compact house in a beautiful neighbourhood with easy access to supermarkets, shoppings and city centre ( though a walk of 20-30mins ). Kitchen was well stocked with all essentials and aesthetically colour coordinated utensils, crockery, cutlery and kitchen equipments. Outstanding feature was of course, Maria ! With her constant support, her understanding, compassion and adaptability, she made a lasting impression as a dependable host. Highly recommended !!

Lakeside Lodge
A perfect, dreamy location with amazing views and the natural world all around you! A wonderful spot to enjoy nature, to enjoy water and to have friends and family comfortably around. A quintessential lake house in every sense. Would HIGHLY recommend this gorgeous and magical spot.

Beautiful Lakeside Country Home
Noreen was the perfect host. The accommodations were clean, comfortable and spacious. The location was spectacular, a peaceful countryside setting with outstanding views. Having a red fox travel through in the evenings was an added bonus. Noreen gave attention to detail in decor and amenities. She welcomed us warmly and offered helpful suggestions and recommendations, sharing local history. She was absolutely delightful! We had a lovely stay! We found it to be a great launching point for side trips to Ennis, the Burrens, Bunratty Castle, the Aran Islands, the Loophead Loop and the Shannon Airport. I highly recommend her place!

Beautiful lakeside home
We stayed two nights and wish we had stayed for two weeks! The house and gardens were beautiful and had everything we could need, and probably more. Loads of toys and an outdoor play area for kids, we didn’t even need to bring travel cots. The house is really private and peaceful, it’s about 5 minutes drive to Garrykennedy harbour. Really recommend for a group with kids.

Domino
We had a great stay here despite the weather. Quiet location but just a 15 min walk into the centre of Galway and a good base to explore the west of Ireland. Kitchen well stocked with utensils so we were able to cook ourselves a couple of times. Ronan was very responsive to any questions

Lakehouse Art Deco retreat
Had a great stay at the lakehouse, its a beautiful location and very remote, so extremely peaceful. We were lucky with the weather and had a perfectly calm lake and magnificant sunsets most evenings. The house has amazing lake views and you could spend hours relaxing in the living room enjoying the serenity. We liked having access to the private pier, to do some fishing didn't require a boat, and pike and perch were caught every day. Having a great supply of coffee pods and a machine was great and appreciated. A very special house that I hope to return to again some day. Madeline was a great host and made us feel very welcome.

Restful retreat beside the lake
Sorcha and Roy's cottage was perfect for our stay to explore Connemara. We received a kind and warm welcome when we arrived at their home, and Sorcha was very helpful with all her instructions. The cottage itself was peaceful, clean, and quiet and we felt right at home. Not to mention, the beautiful surroundings. I only wished we could have stayed longer. We can't recommend this place enough!

Tranquil Seaside Mews on Clew Bay
We were very happy with our 2 night stay. It's a peaceful location with very nice surroundings. It was spotlessly clean and spacious. The bed was very comfy and it also had a great shower. Nice bonus was the outdoor seating area. Patrica was always prompt with replying. We will be returning.

Cosy Apartment/ Explore The Area/Enjoy our Pub
a lovely apartment with everything you might need. Slept very well with the firm matress and quality bedlinen. Good shower pressure and lots of towels in bathroom. The pizza downstairs in the bar was so good that we had it 2 nights in a row. Really friendly and helpful staff in the bar who gave us plenty of recommendations for the area. The pub was full each night but we didn't have any issues with sound or noise from below. Highly recommend staying here.

Lovely sea side apartment in Louisburgh
It was an incredible stay at a farm cottage. The family leaving at the farm was the kindest and the most welcoming people. I will definitely come back

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.

Altitude House Chalet
Mary took great care of us throughout the stay. Very precise description to get to the house. Basket of bread, jam and cakes and always ready to help us and anticipate our requests. The house is perfectly equipped. The huge shower and the views from the living room and the bedroom are splendid. Everything was perfect. we recommend it.

The Red Glen Lodge - The Burren
What an amazing and suuuuper cozy apartment! The lodge is very well thought out - Shirley thought about everything! From forgotten cotton sticks, to kitchen roll, to Irish books...! The apartment has everything you need and even more. We can highly recommend the place! 🤩🥳

Clonbur House - One bedroom apartment
Great location and great host

Loon Lodge
We had a lovely stay at Loon Cottage with our son and his family. Lots of space for six people and an incredible view of the lake. We enjoyed visiting the quaint town of Cong as well as the Connemara. The beds are comfortable though it would be nice to have heavy curtains or shades on the bedroom windows. Excellent communication with the owner. We recommend staying at Loon Lodge without hesitation.

Cummer Cottage Joyce Country Escape
What a special addition to our Ireland adventure. Home was lovely, definitely the most modern interior we had come across, yet still maintaining that cottage feel. You might think, where in the heck are we going?!, when heading up the road to the cottage. For some drivers, you may be sincerely hoping no one comes from the opposite direction! BUT you are also enchanted by this space. A walk in the morning revealed even more of a bubbling stream and peaceful countryside. Oh and we can't forget our welcome committee, horns and funny teeth as well! Everything in the cottage seemed very new and it was cozy. If you are looking to stay away from it all and really get the experience of a country cottage, this is it. Not far from Cong and Ashford Castle. The rain and wind just added to the ambiance. Thankful for the joy this place brought to our Irish experience!

Restful Connemara retreat in heart of the West.
A week of total bliss loved watching the stars through the sky light,would definitely go again,we fell on love with galway.

An Tigín, - 200 Year Old Cottage with Lake View
Had a great stay here. Very authentic and with interesting stories from the owners. If you like quiet nature and an authentic stay you should definitely stay here!

Annagh
This spot is amazing. So private and peaceful. The art is brilliant and the house is clean and has everything you could need. Mark very easy to deal with . Locals all friendly. Make sure you drive down to Picolla Sophia for dinner. If you can drag yourself away from this house and the view of the lough. I will 100% be back !!

Lakeside Retreat
Our second visit to Lakeside retreat !! It was just beautiful, waking up to see the swans and wildlife every morning . The place was spotless and just as cosy as before.A third visit is definitely on the cards. Thanks Patrick.

Galway Period Coach House
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.

Joyce's Cottage
Lovely stonecottage on a very beautiful place. Everything was perfect, thabk you so much!
