Holiday rentals with lake access in Galway

A home from home in an amazing location with loads to do and see. Even if it was just a coffee on the sofa enjoying the view. Had everything we needed. A friendly welcome, Conor was readily available throughout our stay if required. Purple Door for breakfast Yum. Highly recommended

Great place to experience farm stay & local sight seeing

Excellent location, peaceful, quiet, lots of ready off road parking. Very clean and comfortable with a large kitchen, everything you need to make meals and enjoy the peace. A lovely place and we had a fab time. Highly recommended

We had a wonderful stay at the cottage. Lovely views and so peaceful. House was perfect for us - clean and well equipped. The area is so beautiful, with great walks and beaches nearby. Excellent food at Sweet Nothings and at local pubs. Michael was extremely friendly and helpful. Hope to be back.

I recently had the pleasure of staying here for two nights with three friends, and it was a fantastic experience. The location is stunning—peaceful, private, and surrounded by nature. The outdoor amenities, including a lovely campfire area and an outdoor shower, added to the charm of the stay. The bus itself was incredibly spacious and well-equipped, providing plenty of room for a comfortable night’s sleep. The stove was a great feature, keeping the space warm and cozy, with Richard thoughtfully providing firewood to get us started. Richard was an outstanding host—proactive, friendly, and always helpful from the moment we arrived until the end of our stay. His attention to detail and hospitality made the experience even more enjoyable. I would highly recommend this stay to anyone looking for a unique and relaxing getaway, and I’m already looking forward to returning this summer!

An incredible location for a fantastic getaway. This beautiful house did not disappoint, from its private surroundings, it's stunning design and luxurious feel. It was everything and more we could have possibly asked for. The host went to great length to help us out and gave us a warm welcome on arrival. We couldn't be more thankful and would love to return in the future.

Lovely quintessential Irish cottage on an expansive farm - we hiked through beautiful lush woodland, to the lake, and up to the highest point with the most beautiful views of the patchwork below. John was a gracious host and fascinating to talk to. We had everything we needed to be comfortable. Recommend the Thatch for dinner, had a delicious birthday meal there. The staff was outstanding. Thank you for hosting us John and Linda!

Finlough House was even better than described and pictured. It’s truly the perfect escape to the Irish countryside. The house was fully equipped with absolutely everything you would need on your stay and it was so warm and cozy which made it hard to leave. We were a party of three and we had more than enough space to each feel like we had our own piece of the house. The location was also perfect as you got a remote escape with easy driving distance to top notch attractions (Kylemore Abbey & Croagh Patrick) and quaint towns such as Leenane and Louisburgh. The house and location were perfect, but the icing on the cake was the host Margaret. She was extremely communicative, helpful and a pure delight. She even went the extra mile to stop by and check in on how it was going for us! I can’t recommend Finlough House enough and I definitely plan to return. Thank you, Margaret!

We had a lovely stay. The house by the lake side is simply wonderful and Sorcha was a kind, warm and very helpful host. There is plenty to see and do at a short driving distance from the accommodation. This place is a gem !

A gem of a place! The apartment itself is lovely, with comfy beds, great shower pressure and and very well kitted-out kitchen. Willie gave very useful instructions on how to get in well in advance. And of course having an en suite pub that serves excellent pints and pizza was a bonus - the pub is lively but never so loud as to be a disturbance in the apartment.

Excellent location for restaurants, pubs and supermarket. Very tidy apartment. Plenty of car park.

Regina was so lovely and welcoming. Lovely scones and extra bits very thoughtful touch. Beautiful space and lovely host would recommend to anyone!

Everything was perfect and the communication was also perfect.

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

We had a lovely couple of nights staying at Shirley’s. The bed was so comfortable and the place was immaculate and very well stocked! Shirley had baked us some lovely bread as a welcome, which was so kind of her and there was loads of info on the area. The view of the Burren from the bedroom window is gorgeous, especially around sunset.

Hanleys Marina is a beautiful location which is ideal for exploring both Longford and Roscommon. The apartment was very comfortable and clean, and had everything you would need. The host was very helpful and responsive! I would definitely recommend.

We had most amazing days at the cottage. The location is stunning with great access to the pier and activities. The cottage the spacious and has everything one needs including for a family like us. Would definitely come again and highly recommend! Thanks Deirdre !

Loved Joe's cottage and the area. If you are looking for the true Iris experience this is the place. Cozy cottage and beautiful scenery. Joe had everything we needed in the cottage, and it was a short drive to the village of Cong and Clifden. Would love to stay there again.

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.

Our vacation at Cottage 431 was beautiful. We were there as a circle of friends and enjoyed the tranquility directly at the lake, the green surroundings and many attractions in the west of Ireland. The nearby place can be reached by car in a few minutes, also on foot in about 15 minutes, which is not recommended because there is no footpath outside the village, the roads are very narrow and not illuminated and the cars are very fast. Shopping and cozy pubs are also in the village. In the house there was everything you need for a nice holiday, we didn't miss anything. Thank you for the wonderful stay!

What a charming place! We loved staying here.

The Derrypark lodge was absolutely amazing! Even though the weather was a little temperamental (we knew this is what we were getting into visiting in March) we went out and braved the wind and rain to explore the area and the lodge felt so cozy and homey when we came back in the evenings. The surroundings around the lodge and the lake is also breathtaking. The house stays warm and has a wood stove. Has all modern amenities including washer/dryer. The beds, couch and chairs are comfortable. We had everything we needed. The host was very responsive and kind and stopped by to check on us and see if there was anything we needed or questions. We would absolutely stay here again. Thank you for your generous hospitality!

The accommodation was exactly as described and in a beautiful location. It felt very remote but is only 15 mins from the coast and supermarkets in Clifden. The two extra rooms in outbuildings worked well for us as 5 adults, and there was plenty of room around the kitchen table for meals and games. The sitting room in the cottage is very cosy and only had enough room for 4 people to sit comfortably which wouldn't be ideal if you were a group of 8. That said, there are other sofas elsewhere - in the kitchen and studio. Overall, a unique property in a wonderful location which I would definitely recommend.

We’ve been traveling Europe for 6 months, and this was our all-time favorite stay! We got to spend Christmas at the cottage, and Pat and Mary made us feel right at home. We were greeted with scones and fires and Christmas decorations, and both Pat and Mary went out of their way to look after us and provide wonderful, local recommendations. We enjoyed visiting them at their bookshop-cafe and getting to know them throughout our stay. The cottage is incredibly cozy - comfortable beds and couches with two, large fireplaces - and the location itself was ideal. The kitchen is very well-supplied, and the showers were always warm. We could get into Galway city easily, or head deeper into Connemara to explore the Irish landscapes. Oughterard is a lovely town, and it had great restaurants and grocery shops and (of course) the bookshop-cafe! Highly recommend!
