Holiday rentals with a kayak in Galway

We had a lovely stay at Melzi’s, the loft is great with everything you need, plus some lovely scones. A beautiful location within the Burren, very peaceful and lots of cows to watch from the window. We especially enjoyed seeing Rocky the dog each day!

I stayed two nights with my partner and son in Rhona's beautiful cottage on the lake. The cottage is very clean, cosy and tastefully decorated. Rhona greeted us on arrival, which was very pleasant and made us feel welcome. The views outside are really breathtaking. It is right on the bank of a magnificient lake Corrib where my partner was lucky to catch a fish. There is a lovely forest walk right on the site, and a private boat pier. In the evenings we spent quality time playing board games and chess. Rhona was very helpfull to give us advice on what we can see around, and where to have some lovely food and there is plenty activities for everyones taste! I would really love to visit your place again in summer time and have a boat ride and a barbeque, Rhona. Thanks for your hospitality, we had an amazing few days!

What a beautiful location and place to stay! We slept wonderfully in this peaceful country retreat. The location is about 1/2way between Dublin and Kylemore Abbey, we used it as a stopover on our way towards Dublin after Kylemore. The value would be really great for a large party, for us there were only 5 so we didn’t even use all the rooms (the kids wanted to sleep together, they were excited for the bunk beds). We wandered around the estate a little and even took a stroll around the Friary ruins in town. There is a playground at the entrance to the estate area that the kids loved. We had a great time with the fire pit in the outside area behind the place. It is a renovated old building so it did have some problems, and our impression was that the hosts are new to this process, but what they lacked in experience they made up for in enthusiasm. Rowan was VERY responsive, and tried his best to resolve any issues quickly. We would stay here again.

Martin was a very welcoming and friendly host. Asked us about our trio and what we were planning on doing. When we told him my partner was taking part in a strongman competition he wished us luck and was very interested about it. The room we were staying in was lovely and exceptionally tidy. Bed was super comfy and the area was beautiful to look at it. We can’t wait to come back again.

I stayed 6 nights at Martin's place, and I'm glad! The room is very large, with great lake and mountain views in the background. The bed is super comfy, I slept there like a baby! The bathroom is also spacious, and clean. I enjoyed being able to settle in the living room (shared with the other bedroom) after a good day of walking. The house is located in a peaceful residential area and only a few minutes walk from the lake. And less than 5 minutes by car from the charming village Oughterard, where you can find everything you need in terms of shops. And the best for the end: the hospitality, just great! Martin is very nice, attentive, and regularly ensures during the stay that you are well, without being intrusive. He is responsive if you have questions and gives lots of ideas for activities, walks to do or restaurants. In short, I recommend this place 200%, for me I felt at home!

Had an incredibly great time, hosts were super friendly and gave local recommendations for trips. The rooms were super clean. There was a dog who was very friendly and our kids liked to play with her a lot. On top of this, they provided an Irish breakfast which was delicious. Highly recommended!

Rhona is really kind. She is very nice and very helpful. The house is great, clean, quiet. We appreciated everything. If we go back to Ireland, we will probably go back there.

We had a great time in Paddy's very spacious and beautiful house at the lough. We are city dwellers and this was an opportunity for us and the kids (10 and 14) to do something very different. The house is about 3k down a lane which is easy to navigate with a normal car, we had a Duster and that was a plus. From a city dwellers point of view you have to get used to being out in the sticks and everything is a bit of a chore. Shopping, getting around, you are in a pretty remote spot. But that is also the advantage. You are already there. You are in the beauty spot. You can just walk up and down the lane and enjoy the views, the sheep and the mountains. You don't have to go anywhere to see something. It is all around you. Westport is a good place to go to stock up. Paddy was great to communicate with and very pleasant and easy going. If you know your way around fish and loughs and water sports you will get a real kick out of this, we loved it. Great place. Thanks Paddy.

I had an absolutely wonderful weekend at the rented house! The property was everything I hoped for and more—spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated, with all the amenities we needed for a relaxing stay. The house had a very cozy and welcoming atmosphere, making it easy to feel right at home. We especially loved the well-maintained outdoor space, which was perfect for enjoying the fresh air and relaxing in the evenings. The location was ideal, offering both privacy and proximity to local attractions, making it easy to explore the area while still having a peaceful retreat to come back to. Communication with the host was seamless; they were very responsive and provided clear instructions for check-in and check-out. Overall, it was an unforgettable weekend, and I’m already looking forward to planning another stay. Thank you Fred for fantastic weekend.
