Family-friendly holiday rentals in Carlow/Mayo

My friends and I had a great time at Elias' cottage! The cottage was so comfortable with plenty of seating room, enough bedrooms (with super comfy beds!), and a great screened in porch. Unfortunately we didn't have great weather, but we spent the majority of our time in the covered hot tub which was amazing. We look forward to coming back soon!!

Sasha was a wonderful host. The breakfasts that were included were delicious . The setting was tranquil and we enjoyed the nature around us. The place and linens were very clean and comfortable.

Our stay at Dave and Bonnie's home was amazing! There was a lot of stuff to do at home itself including hot tub, sauna, jacuzzi, TV etc. They also provide kayaks and bicycles to make the experience more memorable. We went to celebrate our wedding anniversary and they had put up a mini decor for us 😇 All parts of home also had mini notes to help guide you with the small details. Places to eat at walking distance. Dave was super responsive and very kind to us during the trip. Book this place without hesitation!

We really enjoyed our stay at Erica and Adam’s place. There’s so much to do in and around the cottage,it’s a great spot for a relaxing getaway with plenty of options to stay active too. At one point, the water went out, but they were super responsive and had it fixed in less than 30 minutes, which was impressive and very appreciated. The dishwasher wasn’t working quite right, but honestly, it wasn’t a big deal for us. Overall, a cozy, fun place with great hosts who clearly care.

The photos don’t do this cottage justice! It is so lovely and homey, we loved spending our long weekend there!! The cottage’s kitchen is well equipped and there is even a desk and monitor upstairs which is a good set up for someone to work from the cottage. We would definitely come back!

We had an amazing stay at this cozy and clean cottage by the lake. The views were beautiful and made relaxing even better, especially while using the barbecue or soaking in the hot tub. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed, and there were plenty of board games and DVDs to keep us entertained. A peaceful and well-equipped place to unwind. Grocery and convenience store was located very close to the cottage. Highly recommended!

Sarah’s property is one of the best I’ve stayed at so far. Everything from the warm hospitality and peaceful ambience to the top-notch amenities and the thoughtful organization of the space was absolutely perfect. The quality of every detail truly stood out, and the team was absolutely great, friendly, responsive, and professional throughout. A must visit for anyone looking to enjoy a peaceful and refreshing getaway.

We had a great time. The cottage is large and bright nicely situated on uphill. The views overlooking the water are beautiful! The hot tub located in the large deck facing the pond was really amazing. We enjoyed observing the little wild life, birds, turtle, firefights.. The owners were communicative and helpful. A great get away place to unwind!

Douglas's place was a nice cozy place to use while in town for the weekend. Bare bones but I was 100% fine with that as I was also going for an weekend escape and decompressing. I would rent again.

This was my second time visiting Andrew’s place in the fall. It is absolutely gorgeous this time of year. The cottage itself is clean & cozy. All necessary amenities are included. Will be back again!

We had a fantastic stay at this Airbnb! The house was lovely, well-maintained, and had all the amenities we needed. The location was perfect, offering both tranquility and convenience. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and are already planning to book it again for next year!”

My husband and I stayed at Alan and Rosalie’s place for our honeymoon with our pup Phoebe. We had the best time ever. The photos don’t even do this place justice. It really is a little slice of heaven. So private and surrounded by nature. We enjoyed going on walks through the various trails that are well maintained and relaxing on the dock. We will most definitely be back to visit! Alan and Rosalie were also very welcoming and responsive!

What a beautiful spot! We had such a lovely time and the cabin had everything you need for a great weekend. Megan and Cathy were so kind and helpful. We can’t wait to come back!

We had the most amazing time and made a lifetime of memories!

We had the best time! Gorgeous location, perfect weather and super accommodations! Thank you Shawn!

This is Airbnb concept working at its best. Ken’s place was a home away from home. Not just a mere house to generate extra income. Great care was put in for someone to feel good staying there ( night lights meticulously placed around the house for navigating oneself in the dark - just an example) . We found the house in immaculate cleanliness ( thank you Jackie). Ken was always present via messages to address us, suggest activities, provide general logistics of area. The house is a gem, with lots of windows and light, large kitchen with anything you might need, and very comfortable beds with premium mattresses. Thank you Ken, we’d love to be back soon 🙏🏻

Had a wonderful weekend at the lodge, can’t wait to go back! Cindy thought of every little thing, all the extra little details were perfect and so thoughtful.

Our family had a wonderful stay. The stunning views are even better than the pictures. The kids loved both the outdoor and indoor activities, with canoeing and local attractions being the highlights for us. Hosts Cindy and Mike were extremely helpful, offering excellent recommendations and exceeding our expectations. The place had a welcoming vibe. Highly recommended—a hidden gem.

Great spot for a relaxing time with the kids. Small beach perfect for very little ones, nice park and basketball all right there. Unit is well equipped and very clean. Thanks for a nice weekend in Bobcaygeon!

Margaret seemed very nice, she left croissants in the kitchen for us to have in the morning. Overall a very cozy spot to stay and we had no issues. One thing I noticed is that there's an adjoining door that connects from her side of the building to ours and I'm not sure if it locks, maybe it does but I didn't see a lock option on my side. Anyway it still felt private and we definitely got what we paid for.

Awesome stay! Scott was easy to communicate with and it was clean and as described

An amazing property with the most hospitable of hosts. The Cooperage House sits on a picture perfect lake surrounded by romantic ruins . It has all the amenities that you could ever want. Theater room, hottub, suana, firepit, firewood, tent outside, multiple grills, fully stocked kitchen. Bedrooms are tastefully decorated. Kitchen is luxurious. Large deck for entertaining. Large property for keeping children busy. I would highly recommend to anyone.

wonderful hosts who will help to solve any question in a short time, beautiful and clean accommodation that corresponds to the photo, we will be happy to return here again

We had a great time Gord’s place!The cabin is spacious, cozy, and functional with a fully equipped kitchen and two full bathrooms. Great location with easy access to the pool and a beautiful view of the lake where you can enjoy stunning sunsets right from the deck. The grounds are meticulously maintained with beautiful flowerbeds and ample lakeshore space, very quiet,creating a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere. Gord and his family are exceptional hosts—friendly, respectful, accommodating, and quick to respond to any questions we had. Gord even offered a flexible check-in time and provided two heaters for a couple of chilly nights. His local recommendations for nearby attractions were also greatly appreciated. Additionally, their thoughtful gesture of providing a play kitchen structure with toys made our toddler incredibly happy. We highly recommend Gord’s place to anyone seeking a peaceful retreat surrounded by nature. Thank you for a memorable stay—we look forward to returning!
