Family-friendly holiday rentals in Ennis

Catherine’s accommodation is extremely homely and in beautiful surroundings. Not too close to the town but not too far either. Catherine is very friendly and welcoming and attentive to her guests. We enjoyed our stay from start to finish, we even stayed an extra night.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Grattan Holiday Apartments, car parking out the back, spacious rooms, well-equipped kitchen and within walking distance to the beach, local pubs and restaurants. It's about a 20 minute walk into Galway city and taxi back is around €10. Highly recommend a stay here. Sean and Cathal are on hand if you need them and will recommend places to visit and eat

Our family loved the cottage. The views and sunsets were just beautiful. It is 2 minutes from Cliffs if Moher and about 8 minutfrom Doolin. It was a nice touch to have breakfast foods for the first morning. The hot tub was an added bonus. We had a great dinner at Russell Seafood and listened to music at McDermotts.

This was our second stay at Mark’s Eden Retreat Cottage. We stayed there last year and loved it so much we came again this year. The size was perfect for a small group of friends on a combined business and leisure trip. We love the spacious kitchen and especially the little fireplace. The surroundings are beautiful and peaceful and just a short trip into town for supplied, pubs, busses, shopping, etc. Last year we used the hottub but this year it was out of service. Mark notified us in advance of this and compensated us for the inconvenience, which I appreciated very much.. Mark is a great communicator! Will stay again. Thank you!

A beautiful building lovingly restored in a great location if you like walks, beautiful countryside while still being near to towns and villages for a nice meal out. John was so helpful and friendly, it just started our break off on the right foot. Ps bring carrots for the donkeys in the paddock next door, the stars of the show

I tried to come here in June 2020 but Covid cancelled flights. I checked for places for this trip and was able to find it again. The cottage is well equipped and is in the most peaceful place with a million dollar/euro view. I would definitely stay again. Mandy was great and gave very good instructions. She answered questions quickly and gave great recommendations. Thanks again Mandy!!!

Pat and Mary Angela are marvellous hosts. When we arrived the fires were lit, the table was set and there were gorgeous scones made by Mary Angela. They are both so friendly and gave lots of recommendations of places to visit. Their lovely cottage is perfectly situated for exploring Galway. It is definitely a home from home. My husband and I along with our 3 adult children and 2 Jack Russells had a great time there and we had everything we needed. We also loved Pat and Mary Angela's cafe and bookshop in Oughterard Village. Well worth a visit. Couldn't recommend this cottage highly enough!

It felt like being home in the Irish countryside. Rita's farmhouse had everything we needed for a long stay including some fresh eggs and other items to get started. It was an absolutely lovely place, and I hope to return!

This house is a gem in the An Spiedal area. The house is super private and in a great location, pretty right on the water with view of Water and Aran islands from the kitchen. I had coffee just staring at the sights every morning. You can walk around there property or take a short walk to the beach front. This is the perfect place for a quiet getaway. The town has just enough stores and restaurants to get by and if needed, Galway is maybe 25 mins away. The hosts communicated well and gave clear instructions, read them all, will be useful on your stay. Whatever you need will be in the instructions they provide. Overall a great place to stay and relax. This was the third Airbnb we stayed in Ireland and by far the best in terms of location and scenery. Do visit Galway and also drive to Kylemore Abbey when you are here, both will not disappoint.

The accommodation is clean, spacious, bright and well-equipped, a separate building. It has a perfect sense of privacy and silence. Parking is inside the property, almost under the living room window. It was a pleasant surprise that the third person also got a full-size bed (in the description it was a pull-out sofa). The host was helpful and friendly, he was waiting for us upon arrival. We arrived at low tide, it was a special experience to walk on the sand of the sea and the rocks that had become dry. The stairs leading there are a 2-minute walk. All three of us were happy that we chose this accommodation. Thank you!

The location and view were breathtaking - looking out over Fanore beach, nestled against the hills of the Burren. John was flexible and quick to respond. Pet friendly & a small shop + bar nearby. Will stay there again soon. 10/10 would recommend. A true taste of the real Ireland.

Gwenn’s place is a peaceful retreat with beautiful views of the countryside and glimpses of the ocean. It has a lot of charm and ambiance and we felt like we were really living in the countryside! Reading in the sun room with the quiet fields beyond was a highlight. The house itself has welcoming, warm rooms and Gwenn is a gracious host. We were only sad we couldn’t stay longer. We would definitely stay again!

Really cool old cottage in a very quiet area out in the country. The rustic nature of the house makes for a unique, one of a kind stay. One morning we walked about ten minutes to a local farmer's private access to the Cliffs of Moher and had the whole area to ourselves. Absolutely stunning scenery.

Sandhills House exceeded our expectations. Nuala met us at the house and filled us in on everything we needed to know. The house was well equipped with everything we needed and more! Nuala left us with a delicious basket of scones and breads. We walked to the beach and Sam the Boxer dog who lives down the street would go on walks with us. He loves to carry rocks in his mouth and gets excited and makes a game out of digging. Our first full day we had a flat tire on our rental car and I messaged Nuala. Her husband Decclan happened to be available and helped us as it would have probably taken several hours+ for the car rental company to get to us. They are both a gem! We stayed a week and went out sightseeing every day. My daughter expressed interest in milking the cows and her wish was granted and she got the full experience! What a treat for her to do and for her husband and I to watch. We hope to come back and Sandhills House is on that list of ideal places to stay!

Laura has a lovely little spot, out of the way. It was a bit of a drive to Galway but enjoyable. She greeted us when we arrived and wax helpful. My daughter loved the tiny house.

Mary was a very welcoming host- she was responsive, friendly and easy to communicate with, and left a wonderful welcome pack - including her delicious homemade granola. Mary was also very welcoming to our son and his wife who managed to fit in staying with us during part of our week's stay (they slept on a futon). They loved the place too! The flat is just outside Kinvara which is a lovely village, where, on Mary's recommendation, we listened to live trad Irish music and ate pizza one night. It's a great place from which to explore the burren (don't miss the lovely Russell Gallery and the nearby Flaggy Shore!). Thank you Mary!

We had a wonderful stay at Seafield house! Walking distance to town with a walking path. Noel was very friendly and responsive. We hope to be back again!

We had a great time in Maureen and Franks Mews. The beds were very comfortable, super shower and nice places to sit outside. Would love to go there again:)

We had an excellent experience in familly. Finola was responsive, and made everything easy. I would definitely recommend this place and would be happy to stay here again!

This was a wonderful place!

Due to travel issues we couldn’t make it to our reservation, but despite cancellation policies, the host still gave us a partial refund. It was a very nice gesture that went a long way for us.
