Guesthouse vacation rentals in Galway

Our 4-night stay was fabulous. Our two-bedroom lodging was lovely, and the picturesque grounds surrounding Crumlin Park House are beautiful. It was quiet and peaceful— yet Galway is just a 30-minute drive away. Maura and John are friendly and helpful hosts. I highly recommend staying here.

Paradise on earth!!! What an amazing find this was! The cottage felt like living in a movie, it was so peaceful and charming! It was also spotlessly clean and very comfortable! Marshall was so kind and friendly and made us feel right at home! The grounds are absolutely breath taking and the location was great for local eats and only 20 minutes from Galway. Cannot recommend this AIRBNB enough!

Fionas home was immaculate and perfect for what we needed. Lovely touches such as stove fire and groceries upon arrival. Fiona responded quickly to any questions. I would highly recommend this beautiful home for anyone looking to visit Connemara.

Muireanns place was quaint and peaceful but still a short drive into downtown Galway. She was extremely helpful with tips and tricks and local recommendations. Would highly recommend!

We loved our stay here! First, the house was so clean and comfortable, and it had everything we could have needed. The place was very peaceful as well as a great location for driving around exploring the beautiful area. James was friendly and responsive, and he gave us great recommendations. We basically followed the itinerary he suggested for our couple days visit and it was perfect. We also recommend the nearby farmer’s market. A great first trip to Ireland!

Seamus was absolutely fantastic host. From the moment we arrived he made us feel right at home.. provided us with good recommendations for local bits and was just super kind and genuine. We really enjoyed our stay and I can't recommend Seamus as a host enough. Thanks a million for making our weekend a success! 😊

We absolutely loved our stay at this charming cottage! It was the perfect blend of comfort, character, and true Irish spirit. The hosts were amazing — incredibly helpful, with fantastic recommendations for local villages, pubs, and beaches. We especially loved exploring Spiddal and Furbo. While the location is a bit remote from Galway, it wasn’t really an issue — taxis and Ubers were easy to get, and we actually loved being a little outside the city. Even the weather couldn’t spoil a thing — the cottage was so cozy and had absolutely everything. We were especially grateful for the thoughtful welcome pack with essentials like milk, bread, eggs, butter, pasta, olive oil, peanut butter, and jam. Such a lovely touch! Truly one of our favorite stays. Highly recommend!

Barbara is the best host I've ever met. Hello, helpful, welcoming. He pampered us like children.

Clean and had all we needed for our stop over. In a quiet area.

Beautiful nicely decorated cozy chalet with a lot of amenities to keep you comfortable. Mary Anne and Peadar were lovely hosts who also made sure that we had a beautifully lit christmas tree and decorations for the festive season and made sure we stayed well stocked up with wood pellets for the stove fire to keep warm for the cold winter nights. Thank you for the perfect stay.

Good rural, quiet location close to nice seaside villages and also Dunguaire Castle. Less than an hour drive from Cliffs of Moher. Suggest some detailed instructions on how to locate the property would be helpful for future guests.

We felt right at home, it was peaceful and we enjoyed the stay. It was a family gathering therefore price compared to other places was really good, commuting easy. Thank you! x

Great place to stay at with cozy atmosphere and surrounded by nature. Great communication as well and flexible check in. Would recommend 100%

Bridget was so accommodating and helpful, excellent host. Will be back again 😊

Great place to stay for a couple of nights whilst exploring the beautiful area. Host was very responsive and we loved the chickens!! Highly recommend

What a wonderful stay! The house was bright, clean, and so comfortable. We appreciated the well-equipped full kitchen; it was helpful to have the two immaculately clean bathrooms, which both had a shower; the beds were super comfortable, with plenty of high-quality pillows and blankets. The view of the hills and water was outstanding. The TV works great, and there is a washer and dryer available in the home. One of our favorite aspects was that right outside the house, we could go for a beautiful walk, on a path that held views of wheat fields, mountains, inlets, and the Atlantic itself. In terms of food, the house is situated only 5 minutes from a wonderful seafood restaurant, and 2 minutes from an excellent local ice cream shop. It's also only 15 minutes to either Kinvara or Ballyvaughan, both with all the stores and restaurants you might need. Tom and his wife and their puppy Puddy were an absolute joy to meet. We can't wait to stay there again. Thank you, Tom!

Maire is an incredible host and made me feel right at home. The accommodation is beautiful and in a fabulous area. 10/10, will definitely book again

Wow!! Please stay here ❤️ Martha greeted us in person, walked us through the home’s s functionality and gave us time to ask questions about the area and gave helpful responses that made our vacation that much more special. By her recommendation, we used Aran Island Ferries in Galway to visit Inis Mór island (and their unfenced cliffs). Also, seaside views of the Cliffs of Moher. Touristy, yes. But a €55 ferry ride + a badass críu (prepare yourself for seasickness & sit in the back of the boat) & €25 guided van tour with an informative driver who provided opportunities for photos and roaming was TOTALLY WORTH IT!! Her space was hard to say goodbye to. So comfortable for 4 friends. Beautiful and private. Check out time on a Sunday was 12pm ( easier to leave unstressed). 30 minutes or less to Galway, but there were even beautiful walking areas a few minutes away along Galway Bay. Martha even took the time to reach out and ask how our visit was after we’d checked out. Complete kindnes

Alison was a great host! She gave us the insider info on the best things to do. The place was gorgeous and we were welcomed with snacks and a smile.

Aine's place was lovely and she was quick to respond to any questions. Overall we had a great family Easter break.

Perfect stopover for 2 days on a trip with my mom. We needed the washer / dryer after lots of hiking, so we were grateful for that! It’s very calm and peaceful. You can log into your own accounts on the SmartTV to watch Netflix, etc. Note well the instructions for check-in that describe where to turn (don’t turn onto grassy dirty road as SatNav suggests). Cooking supplies were decent but if you have specific things you want to cook, I’d check with Patrick first to ensure you’ll have what you neee.

Fantastic host, setting and extremely hospitable. Would highly recommend, will definitely stay again.

The studio was perfect for our needs and served as a great base for this region. The apartment was well furnished and allowed us to do laundry. We ended up driving to town each day, but I do think it would be reasonable to walk to Lisdoonvarna.

We loved our stay here. The cottage was immaculate, all the amenities provided were perfect. We felt very spoilt with the treats our host left us. Only a 15 min drive in to Galway yet we felt like we were in the countryside. So peaceful! Would highly recommend this place, you will not be disappointed!
