Vacation rentals with lake access in Ireland

Very nice home with a short walk to local restaurants and store. Kennans and the purple onion were our go to eating places after our days out touring. Both very good. We liked the location for walking by the river and watching the world go by. Nice to sit out the front in the Sun in the morning with a coffee. It’s not secluded but it is still very quiet.

This was a great find and was the perfect base for exploring the area. The house itself was immaculately kept, so clean, comfortable and well laid out for our family. The Kilronan estate offers some lovely walks and the kids enjoyed using the pool. David was a fantastic host very helpful, friendly and responsive

Richard is an incredible host and the bus is just an amazing experience. We'd love to come back!

3rd stay at the Hidden Gem and consistently an amazing spot to unwind and relax - last stay was a few years ago in 2018, and the standards are still as exceptionally high. Accommodation is spotless - it has everything you need to feel at home, and the host was very helpful before and during our stay with recommendations of local events. A welcome pack of bananas, crisps, biscuits and milk, all you need to kick in and relax straight away - Accommodation is well equipped -Mary Frances has thought of everything! There's enough between the accommodation (pool table, Pinball, Bar games, TV) and local walks/beaches to keep any age happy. Just an overall great place to switch off and spend some time with the important people in your life. will be back as soon as we can, as it's just perfect.

I 100% recommend this air b and b. It’s a beautiful quiet area, close to the city centre. It was lovely and clean and very comfortable. The bed was very comfortable, brilliant amenities including a coffee machine. The hosts very kindly gave us plenty of local recommendations for galway. If we come back to galway we will definitely stay again. Thanks again Aidan and Ciara ❤️

A fantastic location with a view in every direction, each very special and therefore never boring. A good starting point for several (hiking) tours. Get tips on this too. Sun (if it shines) from morning to evening on or in the house. We have already decided after a few days that we want to come back next year. To relax, enjoy and unwind, one of the best accommodations I know. And don't worry about the access, it's really absolutely doable and doesn't require a special car or a special driver.

We had a very lovely time, the house is super unique and cozy, and had everything we needed. The surroundings were absolutely stunning and Fiona and Seamus are such lovely and kind people who welcomed us in the best way. We’d love to come back.

Neil was a great host and very responsive. I would stay again and would definitely recommend

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.

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.

Thank you Marilyn for such a welcoming place. We felt right at home immediately. Thank you also for the extras left in the fridge & pantry. Your recommendation for dinner in Kilkenny was spot on …. and it would be remiss of me to not say a huge thank you to Ted for his welcome & farewell. What a beautiful dog.

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

A great find. The unit is very clean and comfortable with a wonderful location close to everything, yet quiet. For those who are used to units that list a washer” and “a dryer” as amenities, know that this unit has a washer/dryer combo machine that doesn’t actually dry clothes and a cycle takes many hours. This was a problem for our family and there was no other laundry option in Dingle, as the dryer at Dingle Cleaners was broken.

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! 🤩🥳

Great location and great host

Johns place offers more than you need to have your stay enjoyable, clear check in instructions. Can highly recommend staying at Johns place.

My favourite place on Earth 😊 While it’s close enough to Dublin, it’s so private and peaceful it feels like you are completely away from civilisation in the most positive way. The surrounding are absolutely stunning, and there is a lot of sightseeing nearby. This place is just perfect for disconnecting from the busy city life. And lastly, Richard and Ben are fantastic hosts, very friendly, responsive and helpful. I would highly recommend this place and will definitely be coming back here myself 💚

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.

I have stayed in this cottage quite a few times over the years - and I always enjoy it immensely. The cottage is lovely, decorated in a style that suits its age, and set in the most stunning scenery. It feels as though you're in the middle of nowhere - it is so quiet the deer come right up to the patch of grass in front of the house in the evenings and there are so many different birds it's almost like an orchestra - but you're definitely not: There are two good restaurants in the area, a nice pub near a harbour, a lunchroom in gorgeous gardens and a very well stocked shop-and-tearoom only a 20 minute drive away. So yes, I will come again!

We had a lovely stay here despite the weather! Gerry & Margaret were very friendly and helpful and their 2 Jack Russell’s were delightful 😊. House was clean & tidy & had everything we needed. Beautiful view of the Lough. So peaceful and quiet.

Had a great stay at Neil & Aileens place. Delightful cottage with beautiful views. 10 minutes from the fantastic Portnoo beach and 10 minutes from Ardara also. Place has everything you need for a great stay. Neil & Aileen great hosts. Hope to return over the coming months. Thanks guys!!

Myself and the two boys wanted an adventure somewhere away from the hustle of Dublin. This was the perfect place, so peaceful and tranquil. The cottage has so much character and so cosy and clean. The boys loved all the old fashioned decor and ornaments as did I. We loved the garden and jetty was so beautiful. We were only 20 mins from Carraick on Shannon. Lough Key adventure Forrest was great for us with lots to do as a family. We didn’t have enough time do to everything. We will definitely be back. The host were unbelievably helpful with everything. Really quick to respond and went above and beyond to try help get us fishing. 😀 Highly recommend with older kids and just a place to escape. You can have action or chilled time.

A lovely old cottage in a quiet rural area, beautiful scenery and very peaceful surroundings.

Our favorite place on the whole trip. Absolutely enchanting setting in a stunningly beautiful area. Michael and his family were the best of hosts, welcoming and responsive. If you’re looking for the beautiful soul of Conamarra, this is your place.
