The Studio On The Square
The Studio was an amazing place to stay during my weeklong visit to Clifden. Everything you could possibly need is within walking distance of this stay. The nearby greenway was also a fabulous perk to the adorable town and shops. The Studio was I. The middle of everything but also quiet and peaceful. The view out the back was delightful and the kitchen was well equipped.

Beautifully designed apartment for 2 Westport Quay
We enjoyed a wonderful stay here, the communication with Ciaran and Rachel was great, lots of good recommendations. We were in Westport to climb Croagh Patrick, easily accessible from this property and a great base for exploring around Westport. The location is excellent, easily walkable into the centre of Westport and a lovely walk through the grounds of Westport House as well. A well equipped kitchen and we really loved the turntable and selection a vinyl, if you are staying here and can bring some of your own vinyl with you do it.

Spectacular apartment in Clifden, Connemara
Absolutely a stunning place! Beautiful and peaceful scenery. The space was very comfortable with a ton of amenities and very well thought out spaces for the travelers.

The Amazing Panoramic Penthouse- Free Parking-
I had an absolutely wonderful stay at this flat, it was even better than the photos! Martin was incredibly accommodating and communicative. I planned my proposal on the balcony overlooking the sea, harbour, and bits of town. Martin very kindly insured that there was a bottle of Bollinger in the fridge for us to celebrate with. It's perfectly located for excursions into town. We will be coming back. Thank you so much for having us!

Anchorage Apartment with Quayside view
Linda was a fantastic host, the apartment was large and homely. Excellent location with beautiful views. We would love to return again.

Luxury Galway City Penthouse
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.

Sunny Boutique Apartment
Roxy was a fanatsic host and the apartment was in the perfect location to explore Connemara or just chill in beautiful Clifden. Would definitely recommend a stay!

Nice 55sqm apartment in perfect Westport location
Great find. Looking forward to going back.

Roslea Lodge, Luxury farm stay with stunning views
We really enjoyed our stay at Carmel’s place and would’ve love to spend more time there - an idyllic escape in the countryside with stunning views and only a few minutes drive from Westport town. Thanks so much Carmel and Tommy!

Big Lovely House with Perfect City Centre Location
Great location and lots of space for our group. Loved the bedrooms and layout of the house. Walking options are amazing for rivers, sights, and restaurants.

The Old Bakery
We loved staying in The Bakery. The Photos don’t do it justice. Spacious and pristine. Maeve was very quick to respond to any queries we had. She had also left Lindor chocolates, biscuits and fresh flowers for us which was just lovely. Roundstone is so picturesque, with a couple of lovely pubs and the walk on the nearby beaches on Christmas Day morning was just stunning. Would highly recommend staying here.

Spectacular ocean views minutes to Cliffs of Moher
We loved our stay. Best house ever according to my children! Beautifully decorated, spacious and comfortable and in the most beautiful location. Bríd was great, checked in on us to make sure everything was ok. We had everything we needed in the house.

Galway Bay Wellness 2BR House on the Seashore
This was a wonderful private place to stay in. It was close to Galway and had a lot of local amenities within 10 minutes.

Spiddal, near Galway. On the Wild Atlantic Way.
We absolutely loved being able to call this place home during our visit to Ireland. Sheila and Redmond were very responsive and friendly in making sure we had everything we needed and more. The location was beautiful and conveniently walkable to the pier, shops and pubs. Our girls especially loved the little playroom - perfect for our family trip!! We’ll definitely be back!

A luxurious and stunning contemporary home
I've stayed in over 100 Airbnbs and this is by far the best. 14 of us , a mixture of adults and children stayed here over Easter. everything was amazing. once you walk in the view us breath taking. The home has evey amenity you could think of. large open space kitchen with high end everything. the underground heating is a great a touch and the house is always warm. this place is made for kids. they have a toy room which kept all of the kids entertained all weekend. perfect for a family get away. room were all clean great big size and extremely comfortable beds. most of all the hosting was the best I've received. the owners could not do anymore for us. even allowed us to stay an extra night for free as they had no booking the next day. lovely people. I really can't recommend this home enough. I for one will be a frequent visitor and I really look forward to staying again. thanks for the fantastic stay

Cong Holiday Let
We had a lovely stay beautiful setting by the river .The house was warm and cosy on arrival . Hugh was there to meet us with instructions on heating and Anne had left us beautiful homemade brown bread which went down very well with a cuppa after our long journey . It’s only a couple of minutes walking distance from the picturesque Cong village

Seaview modern apartment
had a really good time. salthill is right on the see so beautiful views and the view from the living room in the apartment is spectacular. lots of local pubs dotted around. the apartment was brilliant. 2 good sized bedrooms, one of them en suite. kitchen is a decent size and had everything you need to cook up some food. sitting room was lovely with two big recliner sofas and beautiful vistas. walkable into the city centre if you're a decent walker, it's about 2km and perfectly flat. if you're not or you're with someone who isn't a walker there is a bus just round the corner that takes about 5 mins and is fairly regular. car parking around the area is free but very busy so having a dedicated parking space was great.

The Quay Westport Ireland 2 bedroom
Lovely apartment in a great location fe Westport Quay, the town, Clew Bay and the surrounding areas. Christine (and Trish) were very friendly, helpful and communicative. Highly recommended.

Cosy 2 Bedroom Apartment in Galway City Centre
Location, location, location! The space is a bit out dated but it was perfect for four adults in the heart of Galway. Fruit, milk, and juice on arrival was a lovely touch. Excellent communication, comfy beds, coffee, and great travel tips helped make our stay so nice.

Exclusive Luxury Seafront 2 Bedroom Apartment
We absolutely loved this spot for our time in Galway. Easy parking (if the building lot is full you can park for free across the street) and a playground right across the street. Super family friendly place and had all we needed. The fridge is smaller but was sufficient for our 4 night stay. If you would be doing lots of cooking at home, it might be a little cramped. We mostly drove into the city, but you could easily walk it as well. Absolutely can recommend this spot!

Bayview Penthouse in Salthill
we had a to leave a day early but would have loved to have finished my stay. it was so relaxing
