House holiday rentals in Ireland

Excellent hosts therefore we had a wonderful stay at Driney House and hope to return. 😀 All the kids were so happy they could all bunk in together in the room with all the beds, like a proper sleepover, telling ghost stories with a torch. 👻 We stayed for three days and happily never left the grounds. It was so relaxing to take in the view while the kids had plenty of activities to keep them entertained, out in the fresh air getting plenty of exercise. They would have even slept on the trampoline!😀 The pool was a great hit, there is no deep end as such so it was great for the kids, and great to play volleyball. There were life vests available for use in a range of sizes for those that couldn’t swim. From the first contact the hosts were amazing, they were so helpful with a great generosity of spirit. A lovely family with a very special guest house. It’s like an activity centre with the most amazing views on the lake…..but the bonus is you have it all to yourself! 😀

We really enjoyed our stay at David's Holiday Home on the Kilronan Castle Estate. The location proved convenient for day trips to Co. Donegal, Co. Galway, and especially Co. Sligo (which was one of our favorites!). The unit had everything we needed for our family of 4 (including 2 teens) to spread out and enjoy, prepare meals, and even do laundry (we stayed there during the middle of a multi-week trip to UK & Ireland.) Everything was as described in the place- and, importantly, the beds were comfortable. My family enjoyed exploring the castle grounds, while I (Sean's wife) splurged for a wonderful massage and Thermal Suite at the Spa. Hubby & I also enjoyed a Guinness in the castle Dungeon Bar a couple of nights during our stay. Check-in & other instructions were clear and easy to follow. David was prompt in following up with any questions we had. We would happily stay again and/ or recommend to others.

We had a lovely stay at Nina & Noel’s place! Even though the place was small, it was cozy and nicely decorated with wooden carvings by Noel. We met Noel when we arrived, and he was very attentive and open. Noel and Nina were very quick to respond if we had any questions or needed anything. Noel was always up for a chat and tips for local activities. The apartment is nice and quiet, with lovely views of the surrounding valley, and a short drive away from Bantry. The sauna was great as well after a long day of hiking. We had a great stay and would definitely recommend Nina and Noel’s place if you’re looking for a quiet, cosy holiday surrounded by nature and friendly people! (And two outside cats) 🐈‍⬛🌳 Thank you Noel and Nina for a wonderful stay!

This home is worth any price they ask! The magnificent view made us want to simply sit at the huge window and watch the days go by. But there were many other things to do in the area. Meeting the host was an enjoyable experience. Every possible convenience was available. The bedding was comfortable and exactly as described. We fully intend to go back again.

Our group absolutely loved staying with Sarah and meeting her family. Her place is the kind of place you make sure you go to when in Dublin. And her care for her guests is beyond compare and made us feel that the real patron saint of Ireland is Sarah.

This was a perfect location for us attending a wedding in Faithlegg. We were within walking distance to the hotel, with plenty of parking at the hotel to drive up either! the house comfortably slept the 8 adults and the living areas were bigger than the pictures appear! Keira was a great host, allowing an early check in time too! couldn't fault!

We were a family of 4 adults - a 16 year old and an 8 year old and the house and location were ideal for us as the 2 adults and 2 kids were visiting from Australia. We were able to entertain friends who popped in as there was so much space, well equipped kitchen, huge BBQ etc. We loved this house and would go back. The only negative was the WiFi was not great in the house, but it's also not great reception in the area - so hopefully that will improve. If you were going to work while staying it wouldn't be easy to do so. A great experience was had by all and the highlight was being able to use the pool and leisure centre in Sheen Falls Hotel across the road. Whenever we needed anything Paudie or Kathy were on it immediately.

This was our second time staying at Brigit’s and this time we made sure the whole family came along with Jim our dog. The most beautiful and magical place that we all enjoyed so much. We will be back again!

A very well deserved 10/10 in every area! What a Gem of a location!😍 The most stunning little cottage tucked away, to what felt like a little bit of heaven! So serene and peaceful it was exactly the relaxing break we needed Paul, Denise & family were fantastic and we were delighted to meet Levi , their miniature Jack Russell & the lovely donkeys The cottage itself is so beautiful and caters for every single need, there is not one thing they haven't thought off! We brought our Jack Russell with us and he loved it as much as we did, great beaches so close by for lots of zoomies! we are already looking at dates to rebook! Thank you to Denise, Paul & family for everything.

Lovely cottage and responsive hosts - walked down to the village every evening, absolutely gorgeous location! Cottage was spotless, comfortable, and peaceful.

It is hard to describe the joy, beauty and warmth of the experience we had at Gretta's beautiful home. The location was beyond our wildest dreams, right under beautiful green hills of sheep and a short walk from an absolutely stunning beach. The home itself was incredibly thoughtfully laid out, decorated, and stocked with everything four travelers needed. However, the best part of our stay was Gretta herself! Her genuine and authentic hospitality, perfect local recommendations, and delicious homemade bread made our stay so special. Gretta and William were an absolute delight and we were all sad to wave goodbye. We will be back!

What a wonderful, cozy place with fantastic garden and water views! Extremely convenient as a base while exploring nearby areas. Very nice touches with fresh flowers, bread and wine! Hope we are lucky enough to return someday! Thank you Gavin!

The most beautiful view I've ever seen from bedroom window in Ireland! The wonderful view and quiet place kept in. If you had planned to stay here for just one night, you will be satisfied. Other days too, especially in autumn. If anyone ever asks me : do you want return to this place? I'll say yes!

We had such a great time at this truly exceptional Airbnb. Every little detail of the bus showed how much care and attention to detail was put into creating a warm, welcoming, and cosy atmosphere. It truly is a labor of love. Richard is also a kind and welcoming host full of great stories. We will definitely be back and will spread the word about the Wild Atlantic Bus!

Very comfortable and cosy and right on the water. Highly recommend. It was a bit chilly but there is good heating although for one day it wasn’t on, but to be fair it was unusually cold weather for early Summer.

I’ve stayed in Airbnbs all over the world—from bustling cities to quiet countryside escapes—and I can confidently say this was the best experience I’ve ever had. Every detail exceeded expectations. First and foremost, the cleanliness was absolutely outstanding. Spotless from top to bottom—not a speck of dust, not a fingerprint on a surface. You can tell they truly care about hygiene and guest comfort, and it immediately made me feel at ease and relaxed the moment I walked in. What truly set this stay apart, though, was the incredible hospitality. They provided incredibly helpful and curated information about local sights, hidden gems, dining options, and even personalised recommendations. If you're considering booking, do it. It’s a rare gem and I would return in a heartbeat. I already miss the peaceful sounds of birds chirping.

We stayed two nights at Natalie’s cottage and it was so relaxing and peaceful. The cottage was pristine, and had everything we could need. It is in a great location to various sights and hikes. Natalie is a great host!

Stunning location!! Loved the privacy, the views (so beautiful) and so relaxing. It was easy to get to neighboring villages and then retreat to a quiet place. Close enough to Cobh, Kinsale, Carrigaline and Cork, without being too close. Vincent is an absolutely wonderful host; attentive and responds quickly. The place is very clean and we loved the fresh ocean breezes. We especially loved having breakfast/coffee overlooking the ocean. We absolutely love this place and hope to come back again soon.

We had an incredible stay at Paul's traditional cottage. We had a wonderful two nights, to discover County Mayo & Sligo, while going back to the cottage during the evenings, chatting with Paul and playing with the animals and enjoying a cosy bonfire. Highly recommended!

We had a wonderful stay at Denise’s lovely house. Extremely comfortable and cosy, and fantastic views. The house was spotless and had everything we needed to settle in straight away. The surrounding area is beautiful with lots of things to do, and Denise supplied some great recommendations — particularly a surf lesson with Surf’s Up on Dooey beach. We hope to be back again!

Wonderful location. Had a fabulous few days. Carmel has thought of everything - we shall be back!

This is the best AirBnB that I’ve ever stayed in and Conor was the best BnB host I’ve ever had. Conor goes above and beyond and has the kindest soul. If you’re a creative then this is a must stay place. Thank you Conor and Bánín (his incredible doggy) for the best stay ever!

House is beautiful and very comfortable! All the amenities we need and super clean. The view and surrounding scenery are amazing. We walked 3 1/2 miles to town on Sky road each morning and saw donkeys, Connemara ponies, jack rabbits and pheasants. Wonderful restaurants in town. Great hike up Diamond Hill in nearby National Park and swam in ocean at beautiful Dog’s beach. Amazing place for a relaxing and fun vacation!

super close to galway! only a short drive. and the place is in a beautiful surrounding with stunning sea view! the donkeys right infront of you gives you super cute vibes while you being inside and see them living their best life. the the place is very modern and has fancy interior. loved the landhouse vibes! all in all great stay! a tv with netflix would be great, but not urgent necessarly.
