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.

Fantastic place to stay!! Very peaceful, quiet and relaxing. We didn’t need to contact Tom and Muireann while we stayed here, everything was as expected. On arrival we were greeted with wine, breads, cheese and cold meats, delicious!! The house was comfortably warm and we had fresh dressing gowns and slippers ready for the outdoor jacuzzi. The place was spotless and we have found a hidden gem that we will be back to frequently over the coming years. Thanks to Tom and Muireann for allowing us to stay at their wonderful house over the weekend and we look forward to going back.

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!

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!

Thank you for every thing we were very happy in our stay. Every thing was excelent if i come back to Galway your home will be my first choise..Thanks Carmel.. Really appreciate your support.

The apartment was exactly as described and pictured. The host was very helpful and responded quickly to an inquiry. I would recommend Valerie’s place to anyone staying in the area.

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!

The Appartement was very clean and tastefully decorated. Stephanie was always very quick in answering questions that we had. The location of the Appartement was very good, smack dab in the middle of the touristy area. Almost everything that we wanted to do was within walking distance. The check-in at the door is quite simple. Stephanie’s Reccomomdaltions were all quite good There wasn’t really anything to complain about. Definitely an amazing choice and if we would ever go to Galway again, we would definitely book this place again

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

Pat was a great and friendly host! Perfect location close to Galway city center but far enough removed from the crowds. Kitchen was perfect for making breakfast and drive way for rental car was nice as well. Rooms were spacious and allowed us to spread out. Pat gave excellent tips and recommendations for Galway and the surrounding cities as well, all were great. Will look to stay here again next time we find ourselves in Galway! Thank you again Pat!

Absolutely loved my stay! The home was spotless, just steps from affordable parking and great restaurants. The host was super responsive and made everything easy. Would definitely book again—highly recommend!

The place was fantastic and exactly what my wife and I needed after driving through the country side for a few days. It’s in a perfect location to walk to the city center and Quay Street for food and drinks. The balcony was perfect for watching the ships come and go and for a little bit of a view when winding down. Would recommend to anyone needing a comfy place to stay a few days in Galway.

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!

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.

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

John’s place was lovely! It’s a bit off the beaten path. The place was immaculate and so gorgeously decorated. We went to the Aillwee Caves and Birds of Prey Experience right next door and it was so worth it! Went to the Aran Islands and ate and delicious fresh seafood restaurants. We even took the trip to the Bunratty Renaissance Banquet about an hour away and that was spectacular! The home was very well equipped for our family of 6 adults and 1 child. As someone who loves to cook, it was a dream kitchen! We watched movies in the comfy living room on a rainy night in front of the fire. Thank you, John! Would recommend to a family looking for a place to have a wonderful adventure in the beautiful Co. Clare.
