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.

As advertised. We had a nice relaxing stay. If you’re looking to unplug for a weekend in a rural area , in a rustic cabin, this is for you. It is not a hotel but glamping but pictures were accurate. Communication was great but be aware no wi fi and cell service didn’t work for us. Hunter the dog guided us on a nice nature walk.

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.

Gorgeous property, very clean and even bigger in person than in pictures. The sauna is lovely however we weren’t able to use the hot tub as it wouldn’t heat even after a strong fire and a few hours and we weren’t able running out of wood.

Mary was so lovely and welcoming. She was easily contactable and so warm and friendly. We were keen to have a bit of privacy and she left us to our own devices to enjoy the peaceful surroundings. The location of the apartment is really spectacular. Sitting in the hot tub looking out on the lake was a real highlight of the trip.

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

A beautiful building lovingly restored in a great location if you like walks, beautiful countryside while still being near to towns and villages for a nice meal out. John was so helpful and friendly, it just started our break off on the right foot. Ps bring carrots for the donkeys in the paddock next door, the stars of the show

We were more than satisfied with the accommodation. We were greeted by horses and the extremely sweet little dog Minnie, and then by delicious scones in the apartment. The area is beautiful and we went on several day trips to Connemara National Park, Burren National Park, the Aran Islands/Cliffs of Moher and Galway. What's more, the area was just perfect for us and the children. My daughters loved feeding the horses and playing with Minnie the dog. Or, if it rains a little, there is additional room for playing, which is equipped with some toys, table tennis, etc. Maura responded quickly to minor problems and helped us out, and was generally very accommodating. If we ever visit Ireland again, we will definitely stop by here again.

A highlight of our trip to Ireland. Cozy - loved the heated floors in the kitchen and bathroom. Everything was simply charming - the surrounding plants and donkeys, Guinea Fowl TV, Robert's impressive carpentry skills and the fireplace. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook good dinners - there isn't much in the way of nearby restaurants. Robert was a kind host with good suggestions for walks and sightseeing. Thank you, Robert, for sharing your beautiful 'hen house's with us :)

Location was out of this world. We were very lucky with the weather too. It was one to remember.

This was our 2nd stay in Teresa's cottage and was equally as enjoyable as the first. The cottage has everything you could need for your stay. The place was spotless but the highlight is the most comfortable superking bed that ive ever slept in! The views from the cottage are stunning and a 2 minute was takes you to a beautiful beach and walks.

Pat and Mary Angela are marvellous hosts. When we arrived the fires were lit, the table was set and there were gorgeous scones made by Mary Angela. They are both so friendly and gave lots of recommendations of places to visit. Their lovely cottage is perfectly situated for exploring Galway. It is definitely a home from home. My husband and I along with our 3 adult children and 2 Jack Russells had a great time there and we had everything we needed. We also loved Pat and Mary Angela's cafe and bookshop in Oughterard Village. Well worth a visit. Couldn't recommend this cottage highly enough!

We loved our stay and would definitely come back. The cottage was set in such a stunning location. We enjoyed our time inside and out. A great spot for anyone wanting to enjoy the peace, quiet, and beautiful scenery. The cottage itself was adorable, clean, and comfortable.

John's little cottage was beautiful. The views from the cottage stunning. To be able to hear and see the ocean was so tranquil. John was extremely friendly and came to my rescue as I got a flat tyre . My dog Duke loved the beach he explored it for hours . If you want peace and quiet with the most beautiful views John's cottage is a must . I definitely will be going back again . Tbh I didn't want to leave there.

Marie and Vincent were great hosts and very helpful in advising where to go. We had everything we needed during our stay. Westport is a good location with plenty to do and see.

Our stay at James and Ciara's was just wonderful. As soon as we arrived there were so many thoughtful, luxurious touches that made all the difference after a long day of travel, from lovely smelling diffusers and candles and a roaring fire in the woodburner, to fancy Aesop hand soap and the comfiest pillows and mattress ever. There was also a welcome basket containing some treats such as wine and chocolate and Ciara's incredible homemade Irish soda bread. This is the kind of stuff that really makes a difference when staying in an Airbnb! The place was also spotlessly clean and everything was of very high quality. From the get go their communication was super prompt and friendly, nothing was too much trouble, always offering help, advice and recommendations. J&C are some of the nicest and warmest people you'll ever meet. We also got to meet some of their animals which our daughter LOVED, and the setting and outlook from the cottage is just beautiful. One of the best Airbnbs out there!

Gabi is so kind and an excellent host. The location is so peaceful and picturesque and the house is absolutely spotless with everything you might need. We both really enjoyed our stay and would absolutely recommend.

What a little gem. The old stables tiny house is everything you wish for. Cozy, private and very quiet. Best of all, the beautiful area around it. The place is fully equipped with everything that you might need, especially the kitchen. And Terry is a friendly host. Enjoyed every minute and would always come back.

Absolutely beautiful home out in the country. The kitchen was large enough for 7 adults and there was both a washer and dryer. The beds were comfy and everything was just lovely. Sean met us and had everything ready for our arrival. Wish we could have stayed longer.

We really enjoyed our stay. The accommodation was cozy and quiet. The property is beautiful and there were lovely grounds and woods to explore. John provided us with a fascinating tour of historic Lisdonagh House. They also gave us helpful recommendations for sites to visit in the area.

Theresa was an excellent host and her place was so nice and cozy! It has a waterfront view and the drive to other locations was beautiful. She was so quick to answer any of our questions. Would definitely recommend!

This place is magical! Decor is fab and David is a fantastic host and so helpful. I can’t wait to return!

Majella’s place was perfect for my family of 5. It had every amenity listed. The location was beautiful and private, it was easy to find. If we’re able to come back we would love to stay here again.
