Charming 3-bed Beachside Retreat in St Helen’s Bay
We had a great stay at St. Helen's. The house was even better in person. Our 4 & 1 year old were delighted to see lots of toys available to play with and our teenager loved gaming on the projector screen. The house was stocked above and beyond what you would expect from an air bnb. Would really recommend !

Ards View - 4 Bedroom home with sea views
Lovely home with spectacular views from main bedroom and kitchen. Great fire in the living room-very cosy. Lots of outdoor space. Location was perfect for Carrigart, Downings and beyond. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Beautiful Vacation Home in Strandhill
We stayed 2 nights at Donal's Place. It was more than we expected and was perfect for our needs. Spacious house, very well laid out with everything you could need provided. Everything was very clean, with lovely bed linen and great spaces to sit and relax both in the house and the garden. The views of the mountain to the front of the house were stunning and the beautiful seafront was a short walk away. We had a lovely dinner at the Venue both nights, a five minute stroll away. Donal was very easy to contact and we found him to be very pleasant and informative. The neighbours too were very friendly. We all had a great weekend with lots to do in the area. I would definitely stay here again.

Masons’ Holiday Home
The Masons home is in a good location for walking to the beach and to restaurants. It’s in a quiet neighbourhood and is modern with well equipped kitchen. The hot tub is of course a very enjoyable feature!

Dooey Beach Retreat
Stunning location between beaches. House perfect for our needs. Well equipped kitchen. Lots of extra towels. Comfy sofa and beds. Great it was dog friendly. Very short walk from beaches and dunes. Nice welcome basket. Clear communication from Shaun. Great for a relaxing week away at the sea with family and dogs. Thanks Shaun.

Spectacular 3-bedroomed townhouse, private parking
We stay here regularly as we have family in the area. It is consistently clean, well equipped and Mary is always lovely to deal with. There are usually treats left for the children (easter eggs this time) which is a lovely touch. Location is quiet and residential. Would highly recommend.

Villa Jokubas The Jungle
Villa Jokubas is the perfect retreat. In a lovely, quiet and secluded area. Great for a relaxing get away. The cabins are spotless and the host is very helpful. The sauna and hot tub are amazing. Really worth the stay, it exceeds all expectations.

Lake view Cottage
Pleasant cottage with a lovely lake view. Waterville Center is a 10-minute walk away (pubs, supermarket, children's games). Highly responsive host👍. Recommended.

The Coach House, Fortwilliam Estate.
This was the most beautiful air bnb I have ever stayed in. The accommodation was absolutely beautiful and set on the most picturesque and tranquil property. The view from the windows looked like a portrait. The host was ao helpful and responded to any queries almost instantaneously. I cannot recommend this accommodation more.

Charming 15th Century Castle
This is a once in a lifetime stay. Do not miss out.

Killahara Castle - history, mystery agus welcomes
We had the best time ringing in the new year at Kilahara castle! It was such a unique and cool experience that we will all remember. Lorraine was extremely friendly with check in and accommodating when our coffee press broke. The history is incredible and each room has a unique story attached to it. It is a castle from the 1500s so there was dust and spiders. The stairs are steep as well but overall a wonderful, unique, and fun way to spend holiday!

Castle carcin
We had an absolutely amazing stay. When we arrived, the fire was already burning, and the table was set—it felt truly majestic walking into the castle at that moment. There are countless details to discover, and when you see the pictures of how the castle looked in the 1970s, you can’t help but admire the incredible work the owners have done. A huge thank you to Annemarie and Christopher for making this possible! Besides the owners, we also want to mention Geraldine and Tina. Geraldine, a friend of the owners, gave us a warm welcome, and everything was perfectly prepared. She is a charming person and a great help if you need recommendations for the area. Tina is the go-to person for catering—her food is absolutely delicious, and I highly recommend reaching out to her if you don’t feel like cooking. All in all, this place is truly unique and highly recommended. If you see it available, don’t hesitate to book—it’s an experience you won’t regret!

Beautiful Restored 19th Century Gothic Church
Carmel’s place was absolutely amazing and a place to remember the rest of our lives. We highly recommend this stay. Carmel came to meet us and provided some history of the church and surrounding areas. She also gave recommendations for activities and local destinations. We will be sharing this listing with our friends that will be coming to Ireland.

Tubbrid Castle: Your 15th-Century Irish Castle
Amazing stay, probably the highlight of our 10 day family vacation through Ireland. Local people amazing, great host, absolutely one of a kind, once in a lifetime kind of experience!

Magical gothic 3 bedroom mini-castle.
The lodge is beautiful and full of charm, placed in a beautiful location. You feel surrounded by nature and the proximity of the Killua Castle makes it even more special. Amazing place really well looked after with an incredible sunroom to enjoy the peace and beauty of the place.

Drummond Tower / Castle
We feel extremely lucky to have needed a place to stay and the Castle became available. It is usually booked by many for many nights. wished we could have stayed longer.

Pembroke Hall Guesthouse Double Deluxe Room
We had a beautiful stay here. Hilary was so kind and helpful when we arrived, she made us feel right at home. The house was stunning, and our room was beautiful and very comfortable. I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Dublin wanting somewhere cosy and homely just a short walk from the town centre.

Herbert House, Muckross Road, Killarney, V93 RF64
Brilliant guest house. Everybody was extremely friendly and helpful. Highly recommended. I will be back.

Abbeyglen Castle Hotel Economy Room
I love the AbbeyGlen Castle. I’ve been lucky to stay here before and as always by the time it comes to leave, I don’t want to 😍 The room is perfect for solo travellers like myself. I was there to write & to get inspired & as always I left with endless words and so many stories. Thank you so much Ronan & Brian for being you & your fabulous staff 🇮🇪🙏☘️🇮🇪

Double/Twin at Doolin Inn, Center of Doolin
The Doolin in is the perfect spot to stay if you want to see the cliffs of Moher. Only a short drive to the cliffs, but you also get walk ability to all the great pubs in Doolin and to the pier which has a ferry to the Aryan Islands. The hotel itself is kept very nice and the breakfast is amazing. The hotel staff is top notch. Everyone we spoke with was extremely kind and welcoming. Highly recommend!

Bright spacious quaint and colourful triple room
Myself and two friend's planning a two night stay in Monaghan, hotel's booked out , someone suggested we try Airbnb, with some trepidation I browsed through the site and saw Lynster House it looked nice and we decided to book, after all it was only 2 nights. On arrival we were welcomed by Elizabeth and our first experience with Airbnb got off to a great start. Her house was beautiful, the beds were so comfy, the warm water in the shower just perfect, the breakfast each morning yummy. Went with Elizabeth's recommendation for restaurant's and bars in town for both nights all excellent choices. Elizabeth dropped us in to town both evenings and taxi back just 9euro. Elizabeth's talents are endless, her passion for Monaghan amazing, what an asset to her home town. I hope to use Airbnb again after this super first experience however my expectations and standards are now set very high!

Georgian Downtown Luxury,Áras de Staic Suite No.6
Everything was great - good contact, clean and comfortable accomadation right in the centre of town.

Joyce's Lodge Quad Room (Inishowen, Co.Donegal)
Place is clean and in the middle of the town. Definitely recommend it

Double room with Bathroom
Spotlessly clean and very central. Easy self check in. My only complaint was that the coffee machine didn’t work, otherwise all good.
Your guide to Ireland
Welcome to Ireland
For a small island on the fringes of western Europe, Ireland’s culture ripples far beyond its craggy shores. This is the storied home of many of history’s most celebrated poets, rock bands that conquered the charts, and, of course, the foamy stout poured on every continent. And yet despite this ubiquity, Ireland is so often misunderstood. Sure, it has castle ruins and stone cathedrals galore, but it’s anything but stuck in the past. For every beloved old pub and literary landmark in Dublin, you’ll find as many inventive restaurants putting a fresh spin on Irish cuisine and ground-breaking venues where a new generation redefines Irish creative identity.
Outside the capital, each of the Republic of Ireland’s four provinces — Leinster, Munster, Connacht, and Ulster — certainly deliver the pastoral landscapes along with plenty of surprises. The culinary city of Cork claims on-trend bars, food halls, and even a museum dedicated to butter. On the rugged Atlantic coast, the Cliffs of Moher won’t disappoint sightseers, but you can also skip the crowds and chase outdoor adventures in wild national parks such as Ballycroy and Killarney. The longer you spend on this rainy rock, the more you realize how lucky the Irish really are.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Ireland
Ireland is truthfully quite drizzly, especially in winter. But its climate is also mild year-round. In fact, you’re likely to read it in the local news whenever temperatures dip below freezing or exceed 80 degrees Fahrenheit (26 degrees Celsius). Summer brings the most pleasant weather and, of course, the most crowds, making it a more competitive time to book a house for rent. The peak months of July and August are the sunniest, warmest, and driest. It’s the time of year for outdoor festivals, including gatherings dedicated to the republic’s alternative music as well as its active Irish trad folk music scene. Spring and fall are generally quieter and more overcast, with the exception of St. Patrick’s Day in March, celebrated with lively parades across the country.
Top things to do in Ireland
Grafton Street
In Dublin’s city center, it’s easy to lose track of time wandering through the historic sites and museums, but don’t miss the action on the streets. Take a stroll along Grafton Street to visit local shops and the famous buskers known to perform here year-round. This pedestrian-only thoroughfare links St. Stephen’s Green to Trinity College. Its popularity means the street often gets crowded, though skip over a few blocks and you’ll find independent cafes and designer shops in areas like the Creative Quarter, emanating from Drury Street.
Wild Atlantic Way
This is arguably Ireland’s most photogenic road trip. From the cinematic landscapes of the Inishowen Peninsula south to colorful fishing ports in County Cork, the Wild Atlantic Way traces Ireland’s West Coast for 1,500 miles (2,414 km). Along the way, you’ll pass sea cliffs and coves; festive cities like Galway and Limerick; and beaches where cold-water surfers paddle out into the foamy waves. You could tackle it on one grand tour, but you’ll get a truer sense of the local scene when you slow your roll and focus on one segment at a time.
Rock of Cashel
Perched on top of a grassy hill and surrounded by the rolling pastures of the Golden Vale, the Rock of Cashel stands among Ireland’s most dramatic and significant architectural sites. This was once the seat of power for the Kings of Munster. Legends also say this is where Saint Patrick baptized King Aengus in 432 C.E. Come here to see the castle-like cluster of medieval structures, dig into Irish history, or simply admire the sweeping views of County Tipperary.
