Knights Cottage
Knights cottage is a beautiful original cottage which has been updated to a high standard with everything you would need for a comfortable stay, including utility room with a washing machine and tumble dryer,well equipped kitchen and large bedrooms. Very homely, warm with beautiful views of Lough Mask, within a few minutes walk away. We stayed as a family of 5 for a week and thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Thankyou Maura for being so accommodating and welcoming.

Marina View
We had a lovely stay. The apartment is very well equipped with everything we needed. There is a lovely view onto the marina from the balcony and we really enjoyed the peace and quiet of the area. It is in walking distance to restaurants and cafes along the river. Susanne was very helpful and let us know when the apartment was ready so we could check in. I will recommend this apartment to friends and family and hope to return soon.

Wild Atlantic Bus at Aishling Cottage
We stayed as a family (two boys, ages 2 and 4) for three nights over the Easter holidays. I couldn’t recommend this enough-what a gorgeous experience for our fellas! They were delighted by the charm of the bus and loved taking turns in the driver seat. Richard couldn’t have been friendlier or more helpful both in showing us around and recommending local spots. The campfire area was especially nice too. Not far from Galway and Wildlands Park; beautiful drives all around and a gorgeous walk by Lough Corrib. Huge thanks to Richard for hosting us-boys are already asking to go back. Many thanks!

Designer Luxury in the Woods
What a lovely home, nestled far away to get some peace but close enough to great restaurants and attractions. A lovely space for a group or family to enjoy time in the Irish countryside. Appreciated the welcome pack and website with recommendations and instructions. Great communication with our host throughout our stay, which made this a delightful experience.

Finlough House, Delphi
Absolutely gorgeous house and grounds, like something from a postcard. Everything you could need was in the house. House is bright and spotlessly clean. Great location. Handy adventure centre in the hotel a five minute walk from the house. Margaret is a fantastic host who made sure we had a great trip. Thank you Margaret. The Mancunian girls will come again!

19th century restored Irish stable by the lake
We had a lovely stay here, it’s just outside Galway city and you get a bite of the lake.

Glann House
Good place of stay away from the busy city life. Lovely place of entertainment and the kids and grownups enjoyed playing there. Enough rooms to stay and lots of en-suite. Good number of towels and toiletries with extra stock if needed. Loved the stay and there were delicious scones waiting for us in the kitchen which we enjoyed and thank you for everything.

Tigh Cáit (Kate's House)
This place is 11/10 throughout! Very nice place and everything is accounted for, from start to finish the property is spot on! Will 100% be returning back again and again!

The Old Forge
Our stay with Regina was wonderful it's a great little get away; nice, peaceful, relaxing and great views all around. Regina was the perfect host greeting us at the door making us feel very welcomed, giving us tips on what to do in the local area and leaving us some of her signature scones to enjoy. I would highly recommend staying with Regina.

A great place, local to all we required. Lovely clean beds, bathroom etc.

Harbour View Apartment
This accommodation was perfect. We were five adults attending a family wedding which took place at the Hotel which was next door to this accommodation. We even walked into the hotel in the morning and paid for breakfast. The accommodation was immaculate and I would highly recommend it.

Oh my goodness this place!!!! Absolutely stunning location, peaceful and private yet handy for a great choice of restaurants in Clifden. The cottage itself is just totally beautiful, spacious, clean, comfortable and the views are unreal. We’ve never spent so much time wanting to look out of windows!! The deer and the ponies were a bonus. Mary was great at communication. All in all my favourite Airbnb. Thank you so much for letting us experience this fabulous property in a magical area.

The landlords were always friendly, helpful and quick to reach. Fantastic setting directly at the lake. The furnishings are functional, the furnishings of the kitchen leave nothing to be desired. We felt right at home. I highly recommend it!
