Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Leinster

**A Perfect Getaway at Foley's Cottage** Foley's Cottage is a beautiful, peaceful retreat—ideal for anyone looking to truly unwind. Set in tranquil surroundings with stunning gardens, the cottage offers a real sense of escape from the outside world. The house is surprisingly spacious, with a warm, welcoming atmosphere and lots of thoughtful little touches. There were teabags, milk, and even breakfast items waiting for us, which made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. Helen, who looks after the cottage, clearly goes the extra mile to make the stay special. Her care and attention to detail really shine through. A lovely lady lives beside the cottage, separate from Helen, and she adds to the charm of the place with her friendly presence and the beautifully kept gardens. Foley's Cottage is the perfect blend of comfort, peace, and personal touches. Highly recommended for a relaxing getaway. Thanks Patrick

Overall, a really nice and well presented cottage and grounds, which we thoroughly enjoyed and easy contact with Peter, but Airbnb were terrible (!) with its heavily computerised communication system, e.g. (1) Difficulty in booking, so used my technical consultant; he has used Airbnb, but still took ¾ hour to book (€26) (2) Earlier, I contacted Airbnb by phone, they then e-mailed me to which I replied, but the reply never arrived because, I then learned, one has to use the app - beyond me and (3) A vast number of e-mails before and after the holiday; usually had to be read in case anything new, but largely repetitive and a waste of time - not your time I would say as sending seemed to be computer-generated. (4) All of which would make me hesitate using Airbnb again. I often stay in B & Bs arranged by a simple phone call (with no security checks on host or me!).

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.

Amazing stay. Exactly as described. I would not hesitate in staying here again or recommend to others. Thanks Elizabeth.

Absolutely fabulous overnight stay in this great farmhouse . We just wish we could’ve stayed longer - definitely next time ! We meet Anne & John who were so friendly & hospitable . There was everything we needed at the house for us , our son and wife and 2 small children . The beds were all very comfortable :) We had to head off early next morning for the Rosslare ferry port which was only 40mins away . Thank you again - loved it

We recently stayed at Mary’s. There was 9 of us, 3 kids and 6 adults and it was more than enough space for us all. It was well looked after and it had everything we needed, it was so cosy & also spotless. We live in Dublin so it was amazing having the out door space for the kids. Check in was a breeze and Mary was so friendly she gave us recommendations also. Would highly recommend it anyone which we have already done. Tramore isn’t too far away and we recommend getting the passage ferry, it was 10 euro single and 15 euro return. It was brilliant. I can’t fault a thing about Elrove, we will definitely be back.

House was beautiful, spacious and comfortable, and was pristinely clean. Mark was really generous and accommodating of our requests, and checked in on us over the weekend. We were travelling for an event so didn't get to explore the area this time.

Beautiful setting, and very peaceful. The kitchen was amazing, and the Wood burning stove was so cosy in the evening. A great hideaway with friends. The roads are very narrow on the way to it, so be cautious

we absolutely loved our stay at the foxes den it was cosy warn and so unbelievably relaxing! the hot tub was clean and so warm the jets were amazing the scenery while relaxing in it was just gorgeous! Fiona was an incredible host very responsive to messages and very helpful she's also super friendly! the dog loved the space to run around too and seeing the cows! the social space is well equipped incase you forget anything as we did! the beds were so comfy best sleep we've had in a while! have and will continue to recommend this spot!

My partner, doggy and myself had an incredible time at Catrionas. We stayed for two nights and sat in both evenings and enjoyed the amenities. Catriona has three lovely dogs and so many cute farm animals - we were lucky enough to see baby bell as a 3 week old lamb. Most importantly Catriona was very accommodating of our dog who can be a bit funny (being very kind), she was a great host. Her place is the most perfect tranquil piece of heaven! Would recommend it to everyone :)

We had an amazing weekend in Portaferry staying at Michael’s place. A beautiful house overlooking Strangford Lough. Very tastefully decorated, it has everything you could possibly need including a hot tub and patio area to lounge in, if you’re not out exploring the amazing scenery on its doorstep. Beds are very comfortable and house spotless! The location is perfect, pubs and restaurants a few short steps away. As well beaches less than a 15 min. drive. Michael was very attentive, and we wanted for nothing in the house. Will definitely be back!!

Duckling cottage was the perfect place for our break! The setting within Ballymaloe is absolutely beautiful. The space was ideal, enough room, cosy, comfy bed and sofas. Room to eat and oven and cooker worked perfectly. All the staff at Ballymaloe were really lovely and friendly! Robyn was very helpful and kind, she came over with things we needed within minutes of messaging her. I would definitely recommend Duckling cottage and would love to be back!

Amazing house with everything that you could possibly want or need. Hot tub/spa was amazing and the view spectacular. Would highly recommend Ernie’s Den. A+++

We absolutely loved our stay at Rock Farm Slane! The place is so peaceful, surrounded by nature, making it the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle. Our dog, Zoe, had the best time exploring the wide, walkable spaces and taking in the beautiful sights. The atmosphere is serene, and it’s a wonderful spot to relax and unwind. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a tranquil getaway—especially for those with pets who love the outdoors! We’ll definitely be back.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Sarah’s home was beautiful and serene, a great location to be away from the bustle (and traffic) of downtown but still very convenient to all attractions, major highways, and the airport. It is a little slice of heaven and Sarah is a delightful host. She treated us like family and was so kind and hospitable! We appreciated the smart tv and comfortable beds. She even had electrical adapters for us to use. We will definitely stay with Sarah again when we return!

Michelle was so accommodating and kind. We booked the same day of arrival and Michelle went out of her way to go to and clean and sort out the place before our arrival. The home is perfect for families and pets. The estate’s amenities are great, and we enjoyed tea and scones in the club house as well as use of the leisure centre.

A wonderful place to stay for a night ( or two or three... ). Very comfortable but so enjoyable and so many lovely surprises. I'll defintely go back again amd spend longer there. Thank you Anne

We stayed for a long weekend and this place did not disappoint! We had a lovely time, really liked how private and peaceful it was. Great to have the hot tub outside to relax in too!! Look forward to staying again!

A lovely and very quiet cottage. There is another one next to ours with a long term rental and we only saw him briefly and he was friendly. Kitchen is well equipped and we cooked during the three nights we were there. The washing machine is a plus!

One of the nicest places my partner and I have ever stayed. Such a unique and wholesome accomodation. Attention to detail stood out everywhere. Bernadine was super responsive & helpful. Let us check in early and Leonardo even gave us a lift to the wedding we were attending. It was really nice to meet you & thanks again! 11/10 Hosts!

This cottage is gorgeous. Every detail has been carefully thought out. It retains the charm of an old thatched cottage but has modern amenities seamlessly added in. The setting is quiet and peaceful. We hated to leave. I highly recommend a stay at this cottage!

absolutely stunning property, out of this world, couldn't ask for more, beautiful decor, amazing finishing touches , everything thought of and more, location perfect, can't wait to return thank you for an amazing stay , tina ❤️

Charlie was a fabulous host, very responsive and kind. The place is stunning, right by the race course. Beds were comfy, everything was clean and they even left us breakfast items. We were super happy with our stay and I'm bookmarking this for next time I need a stay near Dublin. thank you so much for your generous hospitality!

Very nice, better than expected! Very cosy place, had everything you needed and more (fireplace, cooking stuff, coffee etc.). Also we got greeted by Eve, friendly dogs and horses. Thanks for the great stay! Ps there is a half dinar in one of the books 📚
