Family-friendly holiday rentals in Clonakilty

We have no words to express how lovely is this house and how amazing our stay was at The Cow House! Every corner of the house is a dream (specially the kitchen!), Tim is an amazing host always there and quick responding any queries we could have. We will definitely be back! Thanks Tim!

We had a wonderful stay here, surrounded with hills and a quick drive to many little walks, the coast, interesting towns and about 1.5h from areas further afield such as the Ring of Kerry or Mizzen Head. The space itself is comfortable and clean, and was perfect for our visit (us + 2 young kids + 2 elderly parents) — being able to let the kids play outside is a real gift. Hot tub gets nice and hot and was a great treat to end the day. Thank you Marcella for a wonderful stay, and for being so responsive and helping us with a few of the bits we needed / had forgotten at home! Xx

Beautiful location! Not far from Ballydehob and Skibbereen. Great space for the family to spread out and nice kitchen and family room to hangout in. Would definitely recommend!

We had two great nights in a bell tent. Goleen is out of this world beautiful. Incredibly peaceful. Shower and toilet facilities were immaculately clean

We had two families (9 people) staying for a special occasion. Ages from 12 to 90. The ground floor bedroom with balcony is stunning in the evening. There is so much outdoor space, the kids loved the little football pitch. The location was great, walking distance to the town, the beach and pitch & putt. We had a few queries coming up to the stay and during and all were responded to. We were very lucky to have stayed here.

We loved it! It was in an amazing location, quite close to Killarney town and the house itself was amazing and spacious. To top it off John was great to deal with

We loved our stay ,it felt like home,we will deffo be back.The home was spacious,and very clean,the hot tub was a real bonus after a long drive,and to play a little music before bedtime was priceless.The doggies also were welcomed which we appreciated. The only downside we would have liked to stay longer🤸‍♀️😊🐕🐕🐕

We had a magical last-minute getaway at Goleen Harbour and couldn’t be more grateful to Shawn for accepting our booking on such short notice. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warmth and kindness. The tent was cozy and nestled in nature — peaceful, clean, and perfect for a reset. Evenings were spent around the campfire, sharing stories and laughs under a sky full of stars. The stargazing here is unreal — crystal clear and breathtaking. It felt like time slowed down. Waking up to birdsong and the fresh sea breeze was the cherry on top. Shawn was a fantastic co-host, always responsive and thoughtful. His passion for the place shines through. This stay reminded us that true luxury is about connection — with nature, with people, and with yourself. Highly recommend this for anyone wanting a soulful escape from the noise of everyday life. We left with full hearts and unforgettable memories.

The lodge was an amazing break from our whirlwind tour of Ireland. The home was very clean and had everything we needed. The grounds are beautiful and the town of Glenngarriff was fun. Highly recommend!

We loved our stay - the house felt very secluded with beautiful views and our son loved the cows in the nearby field, as well as the visits from the dog next door. It is a traditional house that matches the description and the pictures. It is only a short drive to the local shops / town which was great. Thank you for such a nice stay and for all your local recommendations!

Martin and Bridgette were excellent hosts. 3 things we look for are cleanliness, comfort and quiet. We got these in abundance. The view from the house was stunning and seeing all the deer in the garden was very special. Good base for touring the penninsulas with great food in town. I highly recommend if you want to find peace and serenity. Thank you, Martin and Bridgette for being so kind, responsive and helpful. XXX

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this peaceful cottage! Pat was great.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Kevin's home, the house was as described and the location was great with lovely walks and views from the doorstep. The walk to zetland pier for a swim was the highlight for us, Hopefully we'll be back next summer.

An absolutely wonderful house - such an amazing view of the sea - a very short walk down to the nearest beach and an easy walk to the amazing Dunworley Beach. Loved it!

I have stayed in this cottage quite a few times over the years - and I always enjoy it immensely. The cottage is lovely, decorated in a style that suits its age, and set in the most stunning scenery. It feels as though you're in the middle of nowhere - it is so quiet the deer come right up to the patch of grass in front of the house in the evenings and there are so many different birds it's almost like an orchestra - but you're definitely not: There are two good restaurants in the area, a nice pub near a harbour, a lunchroom in gorgeous gardens and a very well stocked shop-and-tearoom only a 20 minute drive away. So yes, I will come again!

Anne & Gerry's place is an absolute gem. Relax in the garden, while watching the ebb & flow of the tidal estuary. Enjoy the antics of the Egrets, Heron, and Hooded Crow who are in splendid abundance. Curl up in front of the fire with a good book and a glass of the good stuff. Pop into Skibbereen or Clonakilty if you want to stretch your legs. Or just enjoy the afternoon sun with a pint at Nolan's (ask Dennis about his on-going "battle" with the local Rooks and Jackdaws). Anne & Gerry's is a wonderful place to slow things down, and focus on Nature and simplicity. You will sleep beautiful sleeps at Lazy Acre, and awake to days of delicious indolence.

We have fallen in love with Julie’s beautiful studio. Everything about the home is gorgeous, the house is so equipped, there are so many amenities and the pool and garden are fantastic. It’s definitely our favourite Airbnb that we’ve been to and we’ll definitely come back.

We had an absolutely fantastic time here. Would highly recommend. The house was spotless, very well kept. The beds were all extremely comfortable, all with fresh linen. The view was amazing. The house is right on the water. The gardens and estate was an excellent place to go for a wander and explore. Paul was an excellent host. We cant wait to come back again

This was a great Airbnb. Location about 1 mile outside of Killarney. Comfortable clean big. Airbnb is part of the Glen Eagle apartments behind the Brehon Hotel. You have to check in at the GlenEagle hotel which is next to Brehon. Kind of confusing, but we figured it out.

We had a glorious few days in Julie’s beautiful cottage. We stayed there many years ago and the cottage and gardens were as lovely and as well kept as we remember. Lots of beautiful walks and cycles from our doorstep, not to mention the views from the cottage. We were sorry to leave but hope to return again.

It was really a nice stay . really nice and clean property in a very convenient location.

Lovely spacious and very clean house on a peaceful island in county cork. We spent 5 nights here for my mother in law’s birthday. Well located to explore the surrounding beaches, bays, islands and countryside. Unfortunately our fridge broke but the team were very quick to create solutions and then fix it. Very good communication from the Inish Beg team. Thank you

Fabulous place to stay, lots to see and do on the estate. We wished we had booked for longer and will definitely try and visit again.

We had such a gorgeous stay. The cottage was cosy and well equipped, the little private outside seating area was lovely. The pool was a big hit with the kids and it was great to have the whole thing to ourselves for the entire hour. We had many gorgeous walks in the grounds, my 10 year old daughter loved the fairy walk. Paul was very friendly and helpful, a perfect host. A truly magical place.
