Family-friendly holiday rentals in Carlingford Lough

stayed at Caroline's to celebrate a friend's upcoming nuptials. We enjoyed all the amenities, hosting yoga on the astro, an evening in the hot tub and a dance class on the patio. we ate in with some catering and the basics were all there with lies of kitchenware. Caroline had very kindly set up an afternoon tea for our arrival which was a delightful surprise.

Hugh's house was stunning I really enjoyed my stay here would love to come back again. The place was so clean and the kitchen is beautiful, he had everything in that you would need. The outdoor area was private and quiet, it was a blessing to sit outside and have a coffee in the morning. I messaged him questions about the hot tub and he was very responsive and easy to follow with his instructions. A brilliant house and location, Thanks Hugh!

My favourite place on Earth 😊 While it’s close enough to Dublin, it’s so private and peaceful it feels like you are completely away from civilisation in the most positive way. The surrounding are absolutely stunning, and there is a lot of sightseeing nearby. This place is just perfect for disconnecting from the busy city life. And lastly, Richard and Ben are fantastic hosts, very friendly, responsive and helpful. I would highly recommend this place and will definitely be coming back here myself 💚

Felt so relaxed the minute we walked through the door. Everything was immaculate! It was the perfect staycation to unwind and we’ve come away feeling super refreshed. Hot tub has the most beautiful views too, We had a blast and so did our wee doggo! Thanks for everything, We will be back.. very soon!!

Our stay at Nicola’s home was lovely. The house is beautiful and very clean and spacious. The hot tub is a lovely touch to the property and we enjoyed it thoroughly! Llandudno centre and Conwy are 8-10 mins drive away. The nearest shop to the house is about 20minute walk tried and tested as we forgot eggs! Nicola was a lovely host very responsive and nothing is to much trouble we were cold on the second night I asked for the heating on and the house was lovely and warm when we got back from our meal. She also went above and beyond as I lost my ring at the property and by some miracle she manage to find it and post it back to me within days! I will be forever grateful as the ring means a lot to me. Thank you for a wonderful stay Nicola xx

We stayed at this lovely cottage for 3 nights and it was incredibly relaxing and peaceful. We explored the area and did most of the local attractions and after a long day we could come back and go in the hot tub to relax. It was exactly what we needed and couldn't want for any more!

comfortable and private with the hot tub a bonus 😊

The house is gorgeous and so cosy. Mairead was so friendly and helpful and we had a brilliant time. pics don't do it justice was a fab little retreat. absolutely recommend. Glenties is a lovely wee town too and locals were so friendly. had an amazing trip

Harlan barge was a wonderful adventure that created lasting memories for us. We planned this trip in 2020 but had to cancel due to Covid. Gillian was an amazing host and very responsive. I am certain you will enjoy your stay.

The cottage is an amazing getaway, a good digital detox in lovely surroundings with Alpacas for company. Paul was the perfect host throughout. We travelled with our pet dog too. The cottage is very well finished with all conveniences. The nearest supermarket is 10mins drive and we cooked in the cottage both nights. We wanted the two nights as a nice relaxing break. We did some hillwalking in the Slieve Bloom Mountains nearby. Highly recommend for a relaxing break away

I recently stayed at Gillian’s apartment with my family. The apartment has everything you need for your stay, is beautifully decorated and has the most fantastic view. It is set in a peaceful location but within walking distance of all amenities. Gillian is very responsive and on hand for any queries. 100% would recommend

Had a lovely weekend staying in the hut with my wee dog. Tessa was great at staying in touch prior to our arrival and ensured we knew who to contact should we have needed anything. We had the gardens to ourselves in the evenings, it was so peaceful and the views from the top are breathtaking - we will definitely be back!

If you want to enjoy peaceful time and space in an emerald oasis, you have found it here. My spouse, friends and I felt right at home and enchanted by the landscape and accommodations. We each had a separate bedroom, beautifully appointed and comfortable beds. The kitchen and family room were our gathering spaces for connection and conversation. On the "wet rain" day, we enjoyed a movie from the hundreds available and offered by the host. Nick generously offered laundry facilities, tennis equipment, a trampoline and gorgeous walking trails. I highly recommend this welcoming opportunity for your travels.

What an absolutely beautiful stay! The house is beautiful and on so much stunning land. John personally came down and gave us a little map with all the paths we could walk on the land which was so helpful. It was a good HQ point as we went on a lot of day trips and I could not recommend this cottage more! Can’t wait to come back!

Dawn's posh pod exceded our expectations. Every time we go to airbnbs similar were always saying 'itd be great if they had this or that'. Dawn has put a lot of thought into the space that it has everything you need and more. Even the canopys above the bbq area is a great touch, we had a bit of rain when we stayed and we could still manage to cook and eat outside it was virtually dry. All of that aside the location and scenary was incredible. Lots of cool bird watching, we seen buzzards and woodpeckers amongst others. The steam train that goes through the mountains opposite was such a lovely surprise too! Theres a pub called the grapes hotel not far from the pod that has really nice food and its dog friendly. Loads of lovely walks in the area too it literally has everything you would want out of a lovely break away in the welsh countryside. We normally go to the Lake district but i have to say, i think we will be coming here from now on!

What a spot! A beautiful home in a perfect location. Has everything you'd ever need, enclosed outside decking/stone garden. comfortable beds, plenty of seating. I was staying with my grandmother, this fit the bill for our visit. I wouldn't say the beach is easily accessible from the property, as you do have to walk on the main road without a footpath, for a portion of the way. Kilian was very quick to give recommendations for alternatives. Would recommend to anyone! Very attentive host, thank you!

The accommodation had everything we needed. Bed was comfortable and it was a great base for exploring local areas. Host was attentive and friendly:)

Came to Ireland for a family vacation - 8 adults and a 1 year old. This was our third AirBnb on the trip and cannot say enough about how wonderful it was! So much history but with modern amenities. It was the best part of our trip. Went on many walks - over to the castle and to Harvey's Point stopping at the Famine Pot and seeing great views of the lake & farm animals along the way. Stayed three nights and used the pool/pond and sauna every day. The dining & living rooms were really spacious. We cooked all of our meals - the kitchen is a great set up with loads of dishes and anything you could need. The butcher in town had a great selection. Musical instruments were a huge bonus. It was quite warm for May so we didn't have a chance to have any fires - but the fireplaces would be wonderful for cool nights. There is also the 'wagon' which has a double bed, small kitchen and seating area and an adjacent full bathroom available. Rose was always a message away and super helpful. Loved it!

We had such a lovely stay last weekend. It was in the most beautiful location with a fantastic view. Would definitely stay again.

The farm was amazing and safe, the children loved feeding the animals in the morning, the swimming pool was great for a rain afternoon and the games room was so fun. The BBQ Sharon and her husband put on for the guest was a fabulous bonus, so generous and delicious. We will be coming back!!!

We absolutely loved our stay at Rock Farm Slane! The place is so peaceful, surrounded by nature, making it the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle. Our dog, Zoe, had the best time exploring the wide, walkable spaces and taking in the beautiful sights. The atmosphere is serene, and it’s a wonderful spot to relax and unwind. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a tranquil getaway—especially for those with pets who love the outdoors! We’ll definitely be back.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Castle Barmeath was an incredible Airbnb experience. Lord & Lady Bellew showed us around their 400 Year old Castle which has remained in their family all this time. I’m just amazed at how history one place can hold. There was about 300 acres surrounded by stone walls. Trails trough a gorgeously manicured forest with many trails leading to secrete walled gardens full of fruit trees and flowers. There was even a natural swimming pool and stone bridge over a lake. I feel so lucky to have gotten to experience something so grand and magical!

Host was SO helpful & responded very fast. Place is very lovely, peaceful and lovely views from the decking & the main bedroom. Close to Snowdon too, thank you 🤍

This is our third time staying in Melissa’s caravan and we had a great time! The location is perfect and a short drive from some beautiful beaches (Llanbedrog, Ty Coch, Abersoch and Criccieth to name some). The caravan decking overlooks the marina which makes it a lovely place to eat dinner each evening. The site is very quiet and we enjoyed using the swimming pool and indoor and outdoor play areas with our child each day. Would definitely recommend!
