Barn holiday rentals in Connacht

We had a wonderful stay in Druid cottage. lots of sweet details making for a cozy stay away from daily life.

We had such a lovely stay at this charming old Irish cottage! The host was fantastic – super friendly, great with communication, and provided clear instructions that made everything easy. The cottage itself has a rustic, rural charm, with a cozy stove and logs thoughtfully supplied – perfect for relaxing in the peaceful countryside setting. It was also dog-friendly, which was a big plus for us. One of the highlights was the warm welcome: we arrived to find homemade scones, butter, and jam waiting for us – such a thoughtful touch. Would absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking for a quiet, authentic escape

Staying in Martina and John‘s cottage was one of the highlights of our travels through Ireland. They were both so warm and welcoming and helpful in procuring reservations during a very busy time. Each morning the most delicious picnic basket was delivered to our door. What a treat! Hard, boiled egg, granola, homemade bread (baked by John), croissant, yogurt and to top it off a French press coffee.Martina’s warmth and enthusiasm made us feel as though we had made new friends! We do hope to return one day!

A lovely home, suited our needs well and allowed for a perfect location to explore the northwest of Ireland and the Wild Atlantic Way. The nearby Garden Center and lunch spot are highly recommended and within a 5 min walk from the property. Brian sent along wonderful recommendations for activities, restaurants and shops. Excellent communication and quick responses to any query we had. Highly recommended Brian's home!

We had a brilliant stay 2 night stay in the Orchard Cottage (4 adults and 1 toddler), which acted as our base to spend time Fermanagh over Easter. Peaceful and quiet setting with cosy vibes inside it felt like being right at home. The welcome basket on arrival was a nice touch, and our 2 year olds response this morning for breakfast was, she wanted some ginger cake so it was definitely a hit! Brilliant cottage to unwind and would definitely recommend this place to others. Seamus and Eileen are great hosts!

Stayed here for a night and absolutely loved it! Isabella was very welcoming and gave us all the information we needed upon arrival. The place had everything we could possibly need for a comfortable stay. Isabella gave us fresh eggs, which were absolutely lovely! Adorable lambs greeted us, adding a peaceful charm to the whole experience. It’s a lively, warm, and inviting spot—we’ll definitely be back for a longer stay next time!

We were looking for a place to stay for two nights on our way to Connemara and were so lucky to come across this picturesque and authentic gem, surrounded by beautiful nature. Our hosts, Paul and Joan, were not only kind but truly warm and welcoming. Joan was especially lovely—she even came by to light the fire stove for us when the evening got chilly and kindly lent me a phone charger adaptor. We absolutely loved our stay in this charming, peaceful, and well-maintained place. Highly recommended!

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.

This place is truly special, both in its setting in a mature countryside meadow on a secluded peninsula in Lough Arrow, as well as in its conversion into a wide and open and full of light living space, with furnishing that are both practical and in harmony with the setting. Mir and Araceli are very welcoming and friendly hosts that are happy to advice on any subject, whether related to the listing or where to go. Due to its remoteness the place is very peaceful and tranquil, but a car is a must. We chose this place to find some peace and quiet in order to recover from a stressful period, and it far exceeded our expectations ― we will definitely be back.

This was a phenomenal place for myself and 2 young adult. So centrally located for several short drives. Super convenient to get to the Marghera beach caves, the Kilcooney Dolmen, Assaranca Waterfall and the Ardara Distillery is a must and only 8 minutes by foot. At night it’s super close to fantastic and warm pubs. Nancy’s is a must and it’s literally in the backyard. As close as all the pubs are it’s comfortably silent in the “Barn”. The nostalgia of being in a refurbished barn isn’t lost even with the beautiful renovation. It was overly spacious for the 3 of us but that isn’t a complaint at all. My kids enjoyed being on a separate floor from me when they grew tired of my adult annoyance. I absolutely loved “The Barn” and I will definitely be back. As a photographer it was an absolute dream space and location. I’ve referred several friends already and I’m hoping they invite me!

We spent a great week as a family of five at The Barn. The space is comfortable, warm and clean, and the setting is lovely. It’s a great place to explore Clare, Limerick, Lough Derg and Galway, and beyond, with plenty of day trips within driving distance. The renovation of the barn as a holiday home is really well executed and you get a real sense of the project, with photographs etc detailing its progress. Zita was an attentive and communicative host.

I’m so unbelievably glad that we ended up staying here. Christopher’s cottage is a very quick jaunt from Ardara, a lovely village with excellent food spots and all the essentials, but the real beauty of the location is the view of Maghera beach and the Assaranca falls. Our breath was taken every time we left and returned to the cottage. The cottage has a huge kitchen, and it is well stocked with cooking equipment- we were able to whip up dinners and hot breakfasts with ease. The rooms were spacious (and I think very charming and attentively decorated). Not every “authentic Irish cottage” is cozy, but the radiators and the fire in the main room kept us toasty as winds blew and rains fell. I had read that some people weren’t thrilled about the presence of some centipedes that found their way into this old cottage, while we did see a few, they are obviously harmless and we all merrily cohabited! I would love to return, and Christopher’s visitors’ guide has given me many ideas!

What a treasure of a place!! So cosy, private, quiet & peaceful and beautiful views too. The barn was well equipped, spotlessly clean and had everything you’d need for your stay. Lisa Marie was a fabulous host and was so very helpful too. So many great walks in the area for ourselves and our dog and great places to eat too!! We can’t wait to go back!!

We had the most incredible stay at Paul’s recently renovated cottage in Old Head , truly the nicest place we have ever stayed! The cottage was the perfect blend of modern comfort and cosy charm. It was spotless on arrival and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. Paul and his wife were the perfect hosts ,so helpful and genuinely friendly, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The location is absolutely breathtaking, with a stunning view of Croagh Patrick and a beautiful beach just a five-minute walk away. Waking up to that scenery every day was something special. Every detail in the cottage was thoughtfully done, and it’s clear a lot of care went into the renovation. We can’t recommend this place highly enough and are already dreaming about our next visit!

We spent our first 2 nights in Windgap while visiting Ireland and we certainly would have loved to stay longer. The accommodations were as pictured. Beautiful rooms, cozy fireplace, well equipped kitchen where we were able to cook Easter Sunday dinner, and the grounds were gorgeous. Plus, my children loved the animal visitors! We found a lot to do and see in the surrounding area as well. Highly recommend!

Sadie was the best host that you could imagine. So kind and caring, and thoughtful, with a basket of homemade goodies to greet you. The little cottage is so well done out and Sadie has thought of everything that you might need. If you want to 'get away from it all' plus enjoy true irish hospitality then this is the place for you!

This was our second time staying in Corofin with Des. It’s a perfect location for us - close enough both to Ennis and the Burren, and the house is perfect for us ( 2 adults and 4 kids). The house is well equipped, spacious and super comfortable.

Stayed with kids for two nights so that we could attend athletics event. Lots of space, great nights sleep before competing, shame we didn’t have time to explore the area. Many thanks.

It was a wonderful stay at the Cowshed. We really enjoyed it there. The furnishings are very thoughtful and lovingly made. Anna and Pete were very friendly and accommodating hosts. We can only recommend it to anyone who wants to switch off in nature.

Irene created an inviting space and comfortable experience for our stay. Space was thoughtfully stocked (laundry detergent, coffee/tea, feminine products, shower supplies, sweets in the fridge). Irene also provided detailed information about the cottage. We experienced smooth and rapid communication, along with a flexible check-in experience as we faced delays in our itinerary prior to arrival.

What a beautiful and peaceful location! If you had a favorite Irish grandmother to visit, this would be her cosy cottage. The setting is gorgeous, in the middle of green fields with sheep and cows for neighbors. Great for walking and close to a lovely beach. Easy to access all the beautiful places in County Sligo. Would definitely stay again, we were sorry to leave. Thank you Tracey and Eilish!

Danny's condo is very well laid out and the trails to walk along from his garden were amazing, a particular hit for our two dachshunds running up the hills with us. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting a nice cozy base for exploring the area and will be back when we are next in the area.
