Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Lough Derg

We had a wonderful stay at Anne's. The townhouse is perfect . Spacious ,clean, very pleasant bedding with everything you need for the stay ( laundry detergent , dishes , coffee ...). We enjoyed this haven with our four children and where to visit the area under the sun in addition! Communication with Anne was very good , responsive and understanding . We would definitely recommend this listing!

Had a great time staying Katie’s! An excellent location, just right off the motor way and a quick taxi trip into town. The house was spotless and spacious with enough room for us all. Will definitely be coming back again for our next Galway trip! :)

Noreen met us on arrival and made is feel right at home. The cottage was clean and tidy and everything that we needed was provided for. We loved the location, a quiet and natural setting in the midst of the countryside. We would recommend it as a great place to stay.

Marie's house is so lovely and the location is absolutely gorgeous. Marie was so responsive before our arrival and popped over to greet us once we had settled in. The house was spotless we couldn't fault it, the stove was a lovely addition in the kitchen and there was plenty of fuel left for us. We stayed over New Years and the house was beautifully decorated with Christmas decorations. The two pet goats outside were the highlight for our children who loved feeding and petting them.

Absolutely stunning place. Very well cared for and immaculate inside. Very quiet and relaxing location, but a short drive from a few lovely restaurants, takeaways and supermarkets. We managed to see the Ring of Kerry, County Clare's coastline and a lot in between, so this made a fantastic base for us. We would happily return in a heartbeat.

We had a wonderful stay at Stormont House. The house is in a beautiful location. Very peaceful but 5 mins walk to shops. Perfect as a base for touring or just a very relaxing break. House is immaculate and very spacious. Hosts helpful and welcoming. Highly recommend!

What a gorgeous, peaceful, and well stocked home! The scenery is a pastoral postcard, and the home is on a private, quiet cul-de-sac (many neighbors are full time residents ~ friendly, quiet, considerate). We have two dogs, and we were grateful to find a dog-friendly residence AND with so many amazing forest trails less than five minutes from the house ~ heaven! And the home ~ 3 bedrooms, all with ensuite bathrooms ~ a well stocked kitchen, a most comfy living room with a great TV, a fireplace ~ all so convenient and comfortable. We needed a place for two months as we are moving to the area, but it takes so long here to close on a house, so we weren't just vacationing; we were LIVING there. Still, it had all we needed for day-to-day living. Miriam was immediately responsive when we contacted her, but honestly, we never needed anything so we rarely needed to be in touch. In sum, it was a remarkable deal for such comfort in an amazing area We feel quite lucky.

If I could move in permanently I would. A beautiful home in a stunning location, this isn’t to be missed. Plenty of linens and extra pillows, enough bathrooms to make all the guests comfortable, open and spacious kitchen and dining area. We were sad to see our trip come to an end and are already planning our next visit! Ballyvaughan is not only beautiful, it is full of incredibly kind and warm people. Make sure you leave enough time to see the sights, but also visit the local establishments and get to know the community!

Valerie was so kind and attentive, helping us out whenever we needed. The flat was great and just what we needed, with lots of local amenities! We loved the local cafe - the neighbourhood cafe was gorgeous. Such an easy trip into Galway city - the bus is very convenient. Overall great stay, thanks Valerie!

Andrew was a great host! We loved our stay, and it was a great location to do day trips to the south of Ireland! The friendly dog was a huge plus, as well!

Great hosts, lovely location. Donie went out of his way to offer a lift into Foynes. Lovely people.

Thank you so much for welcoming us to your fabulous home! Very good hosts who gave us great advice. The room (or rather the apartment!) was very clean, in the style of the house which gives it all its charm. Very well signposted, the house is in the middle of nature... nothing better to enjoy Ireland! I highly recommend it!

Had a great time at Lil’s place! She was super helpful and even arranged transport for us to Adare Manor where we were attending a wedding. Thanks Lil!

The place is beautifully situated with views from all rooms towards the ocean. The feeling is cosy and homely, with all necessities available. John was a wonderful host, going the extra mile with helping us with luggage and directions, as well and joining us for a beer at the local pub in the evening. I recommend John’s accommodations for anyone who wants to see a beautiful side of Ireland in regard to both nature and people.

Seliina was the perfect host. I was there for a quick overnight and her place fit the bill. She was super generous with supplies in the kitchen and bathroom.

Between the stunningly beautiful Fanore and this lovely simple space all life's frazzles and stresses have more than met their match. I stayed for 5 nights and left with a total reset. I had completely shifted gears in the time I was there.Everything about this place is stripped back to just what you need and its so much better for it. The vibe is chilled and the nature all around is wonderful with sea and mountain outside the door. Finola and Daniel are very relaxed, friendly and helpful and very respectful of privacy but very generous with information if you ask. There is art everywhere, such a lovely vibe. Daniel had a pitcher of freshly squeezed o/j in the fridge and a glass of it after a long beach walk was heaven. This is a unique part of Clare and staying with Finola and Daniel was the icing on the cake. Thanks for such a lovely stay

we couldn't recommend this fabulous accommodation enough. It is set in beautiful surroundings with spectacular views. The property is everything you need and more. The rooms are all excellent and we had a choice of relaxing spaces to chillout in. Fantastic location with great space both inside and out. We met John who was lovely to chat to and pointed us in the right direction for activities to do etc. We will definitely be returning 😊

Carola was great in all the communication. The house was perfect for our family with 5 children of different ages. Toys and books and enough spaces for each to chill. Lovely outside space and inside all available that you may need. Would certainly come back

This is a love song to Atherlow Castle. Our family of 6(all adults) stayed for a week and didn’t want to leave. We truly felt at home. There’s plenty of space for everyone to have their privacy in the castle but there was still such a comfortable feeling. The grounds are lovely, with the nicest looking herd of cows I’ve ever seen peacefully grazing on impossibly green grass. Freda and Declan were quintessential hosts! Friendly and unobtrusive with adorable bouncy dogs. The area, as described by a local tea shop owner we struck up a conversation with, is real Ireland not tourist Ireland. All of the major sites are within driving distance but the local area has hidden gems. We have stayed in wonderful Airbnbs all over the world but Atherlow Castle won my heart.

Located in a private forest, Finola's estate is a living history. It's my first time staying in such an old building. A quiet country road takes us into the woods, then the fountain welcomed us, just like entering an elegant Victorian film. The house is equipped with all modern facilities and even a bathtub. The first day, the wifi was not functioning, but Finola helped promptly. Minor flaws: the cups were not cleanly washed, and providing toiletries would make it even more perfect.

We fell in love with the house. It just felt like home. Super comfortable, peaceful, spacious and clean. It had every amenity you can wish for. I could have stayed forever. One negative, unfortunately, was the Internet connection. It did not work at all. We contacted Susan and were told that the provider does not work weekends. I think maybe a little effort could have been done to contact a help desk to intervene. Some of us needed to connect for work and it was quite frustrating that the service was not available. It also meant of course that we could not watch any of the TV applications available on their smart TV.

Justin was helpful from my first enquiry onwards. The property was as described & spotlessly clean. Easy & clear check in instructions received. Could not fault this in anyway.

would higly recommend house was perfect got our crew and Breda is a great host
