Family-friendly vacation rentals in Lough Mask

Booking was a breeze. Contacted the hosts beforehand and they were extremely helpful in narrowing down a date and a check-in time. When we arrived, Dermot was there to greet us and showed us to our place of stay. He made sure that we felt welcomed and if we needed anything at all, not to be afraid to give him a shout. Dermot helped us with organising a take-away and also with setting up the fire and heater. Area was beautiful and peaceful with stunning views of the Ox Mountains range. The barn was far bigger than I expected, with lots of room and everything you could need. Overall, was a very enjoyable experience and would highly recommend it.

We had the best experience! Loved the place, the stay, and the overall atmosphere. Dermot and Monica were incredibly friendly and made our night and stay at Ox Mountain Lodge truly special. Worth every penny — we’ll definitely visit again! We came back with lots of wonderful memories.❤️

Had a fantastic stay at Mary’s. The place is absolutely beautiful, stunning views and so peaceful. We were 2 adults and 3 teenagers. The kids loved swimming in the lake, walking the shore and feeding the donkeys. The cabin was well equipped, had everything you might need and was very cosy and warm. And the hot tub was fabulous! Great to have! Mary was a great hostess. Thanks Mary!

Collanmore Island Lodge is unreal, couldn't recommend it more! We had the best stag weekend ever here and Ciaran is a absolute gent. Getting to the island is easy and exciting, beds are comfy and facilities are top notch. Ideal for big family gatherings or any type of West of Ireland getaway. I will be back again for sure, thank you Ciaran and your great team.

We had a family break March 2025. 12 family members, the accommodation was perfect for us. Great kitchen/dining room for socialising/eating. Never felt on top of each other 6 of the bedrooms had en-suite shower room and there was also a downstairs cloakroom off of the main hall. All of the 5 double bedrooms downstairs had en-suites and one of the double bedrooms upstairs. We all loved coming back 'home' after a day out. Great outside facilities, plently of logs for the sauna, hot tub. Excvellent views. Beautiful stary skies on clear nights with zero light polution! Will be staying again, already planning our 2026 stay! Marian was extremely responsive both before and duting our stay, as was the local caretaker who responded almost immediatley to a maintenance request we had during our stay

We had a wonderful three-day stay at Mary’s place! The surroundings are beautiful, and the location is convenient with great access to the town. The price was very reasonable for everything that was offered. Even though the weather wasn’t perfect, the hot tub and sauna made our trip so much more enjoyable — they turned rainy days into relaxing afternoons. Sitting by the dock with a cup of hot tea, watching the water, was one of the most peaceful moments of our stay. Thank you, Mary, for providing such a cozy and lovely getaway!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Grattan Holiday Apartments, car parking out the back, spacious rooms, well-equipped kitchen and within walking distance to the beach, local pubs and restaurants. It's about a 20 minute walk into Galway city and taxi back is around €10. Highly recommend a stay here. Sean and Cathal are on hand if you need them and will recommend places to visit and eat

John’s house was nice and clean and cosy. Bit further from Kinvarra than we expected but it was fine as we had a hire car. The house had everything we needed. We had a lovely stay. Would definitely recommend

Been to stay in Audrey's cottage several times and will always come back. Always a wonderful host. The cottage is absolutely perfect for a small family, super cosy and clean in one of the most beautiful villages in Sligo. Couldn't rate highly enough!

This is our second stay at Patricias house. The house is really spacious, clean and well maintained with lots of rooms for family activities. The surroundings are really quiet and peaceful but only a few minutes drive to a few lively areas with good pubs and restaurants. Lots to do in the house and garden, the bikes are an added bonus. We have always found Patricia to be very friendly and helpful, a fantastic host. Thank you again for letting us stay in your lovely home.

This getaway is exactly what we wanted. The cottage was extremely cozy, and was quite charming. With tons of nature around us, no screens, and good company, the stay was incredibly relaxing. We had a great time thumbing through the materials and fun history of the cottage. William was extremely accommodating and was very responsive. We will absolutely be back!

This is my second time to stay in one of Teresa's beautiful holiday homes, and it was just as wonderful as the first. The cottage is cosy, peaceful, warm and fully equipped with everything you could possibly need. Teresa is a fantastic host – warm, welcoming, and always on hand if needed. I can’t wait to come back again ❤️

Ed was a most gracious host. Offered recommendations in the area and very quick to respond to any questions. Would love to visit again someday

Another fantastic stay for 12 of us in this fantastic house with loads of space for adults, teenagers and younger children. Such an amazing location, close to beaches and the most beautiful walks . We’ll be back and I would recommend to anyone who wants to stay in this area, or anyone who does not know the area but wants a break in a beautiful rural house, easily shared with friends or other families.

A fantastic family stay on Achill, Dave’s house was perfect for us. A lovely walk to the beach where we enjoyed coffees & crepes from Lizzies truck. We hope to rent it again on our next family trip - we love Achill.

Had an incredibly enjoyable stay in Marie’s cottage. I could not honestly say a bad thing. Marie and the others were incredibly kind and approachable. The cottage was clean and comfortable, it had everything we needed like pots and pans. The fridge had essentials such as milk, butter etc. they left us bread, coffee, tea… the location was great, right beside the green way and also if you took a right you would end up right in Westport quay. We took bikes with us and it only took us 18 mins max to get into town. Highly highly recommend staying here. Would come again 100%.

We asked several questions prior to our arrival and Tanya was very prompt and helpful. John was there to greet us (despite us arriving early), we had a lovely warm welcome and John ensured we knew how we could contact him if need be.

Karen was very nice and showed us her castle. Friendly dogs and fun to have chickens. The single room in the back of the residence was chilly, but we managed. Be sure to use the fireplace to stay warm!

myra,s place was close to the centre of westport 10 minutes walk on arrival very friendly and good chats,house was clean and tidy and having a kitchen was a bonus, I would highly recommend myra,s place

We had an amazing stay here. Veronica and Justin were fantastic hosts. They were very friendly and helpful. The location is beautiful and the house is so clean, cosy and comfortable. Would absolutely recommend for a stay in lovely Spiddal!

This was a wonderful private place to stay in. It was close to Galway and had a lot of local amenities within 10 minutes.

We were a large group and the house was perfect in every way. Large kitchen for cooking, living room for entertainment, four bathrooms and lots of places to sleep. Aside from the house being beautiful, the surrounding area was exactly what we had hoped for. It’s located at the end of a country road which then turns into a small dirt road to the beach. There are no visible neighbors around the house and having the beaux right there called for many relaxing walks. The host was accommodating and extremely responsive. The perfect house!

This is a great place to stay Beautiful place great host

The accommodation was lovely and comfortable in a fantastic location, with all the amenities you could possibly require . Maura is extremely friendly and helpful.
