Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Lough Derg

We loved staying at Ocean Crest - the property was beautiful! Ocean and sunset views from the living area. A short and picturesque walk to the village, but far enough away that it was quiet and peaceful even during the busy Folk Festival. It was a serene retreat and we would love to come back someday!

We really enjoyed our stay in this spacious apartment with lovely views from the balcony. It was very well equipped, comfortable and clean. Susanne was an excellent host who gave us lots of helpful information prior to our arrival. Thank you Susanne and we will be highly recommending to friends and family.

We had an amazing stay at Rose Cottage! We went as a group of 6 for my stepdads 70th birthday and we couldn't recommend this place enough! The hosts were so friendly and the place was incredible! They had many recommendations and we would definitely come back again in the future. Piper's Inn near by has the best seafood chowder we've had in all of Ireland so far, and the cottage itself was so quaint and lovely! 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for a beautiful place to stay in the Irish countryside!

Our experience at Captain Lysley's Retreat was truly inspiring! Katrina & John were exceptional hosts! Making us feel welcomed and cared for from the moment we arrived. We had a birthday during our stay & they went out of their way to make it even more special. Words cannot express how touching their thoughtfulness was to us-They really do go “above and beyond” to ensure you enjoy your stay here. We were inspired by the Katrina's passion for color and design. The home itself is a work of art. 1831 restored Georgian Country House. It felt like stepping into the pages of House Beautiful & Georgian Houses of Ireland combined. The décor combines colorful, eclectic, and old-world character, creating a charming setting with just the right amount of modern touches. This is a spacious home with high ceilings, lots of interesting details, luxurious touches, Irish humor, and warm welcoming vibes left us sad to leave so soon. This is a rare hidden gem! Cant wait to return again & again!

We loved the cottage from the moment we pulled up. The photos don’t do it justice. It’s beautiful inside and out. Set in beautiful surroundings, the kids particularly enjoyed watching the cows go into the fields every morning and watching the sheep dog race down the fields. The kitchen and living area is open plan and perfect for families. The layout works well and the bedrooms are spacious. Jeanette was very responsive and helpful and gave lots of local recommendations for places to eat and drink in the area, we loved The Thatched Cottage which was a 5 minute drive away. We would highly recommend this cottage.

Paula was a great host, proactive and always responsive. Sent the host guidebook as soon as we booked! House was comfortable and nicely equipped. Location right on the Burren and handy to Doolin, Bunratty, etc. Local roads are very narrow, as is common.

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 a magical time with Richard at the Wild Atlantic Bus. A truly spectacular place. Has to be one of the most unique places to stay in Ireland. Forget staying in a castle when you can stay in a double decker bus! Richard was a great host. So friendly and informative about the area. Thank you Richard we hope to return again.

Ray and Aisling were wonderful hosts. The cottage was not only beautifully furnished but also spotlessly clean. It had everything we needed, and the kitchen was very well equipped. For us, the location was perfect - quiet and in less than 10 minutes to Arhenry, with supermarkets and restaurants close by. Highly recommended!

Very lovingly furnished. There were small snacks and a large selection of coffee and tea. You could sit outside very nicely.

We were visiting to go by an old friends grave nearby, but in the end the location is really very convenient. We were an hour from Shannon airport which was nice because it was rural, but close. We had an extra few hours and popped down to Cork. We will stay here going forward if travelling to or from Shannon. Communication was excellent. Just all good!

We love Galway and had a wonderful time. The noise considerations were no bother as you can easily go out and socialize at a local pub or restaurant if you want to be boisterous. The apartment was very comfortable clean, and stylish, and well situated. The only thing we would change is the fabulouso fragrance diffuser, it put an overwhelming scent in the main room and would make it hard for anyone with sensitivity to cleaning fragrances to be comfortable here.

Shiela was a pleasure to book with & very helpful. Apartment was spotlessly clean & had special touches of milk, shampoo/conditioner etc. highly recommend!

Ben’s place was clean, well maintained, amazingly decorated and very cozy. They were really clear with the instructions and very responsive. The dogs were really friendly too. I totally recommend this place.

Had a great one night stay! We were a small group of friends running away for a wholesome mental health break!! Donncha & team couldn’t have been more helpful, providing us with great recommendations and helping us out with any questions we had. The pods themselves are gorgeous and spacious due to how cleverly they are laid out. We especially enjoyed the small touches (records, board games and scones!!) Couldn’t recommend it more :)

We loved our stay at Barry’s! It was clean, quiet, spacious and very comfortable. Barry met us when we arrived and oriented us to everything. It is a great location to walk everywhere in Ennis, and just a short walk from the bus/train station. We would definitely return for our next visit!

Marion was a lovely and attentive host. She gave us very clear instructions on how to find her place. She checked in on us throughout our stay to make sure we were doing ok. Her hideaway is very peaceful and situated in a great place for exploring the west coast of Ireland. We had a great time and would love to return!

Lovely apartment to rest and relax. It is located on the edge of town but only a few mins drive away. The apartment is surrounded by green fields, woodland and nature. The terrace is a perfect spot to watch the sunset. The apartment is well equipped and homely. Tom and his wife are friendly and welcoming. It was the perfect place for what I needed!

Great value here, for what is quite a large space! Location was perfect - ideal as I had a rental car to park, but could easily walk into town in a couple mins (it's literally around the corner from the main street). I booked this last minute, communication was great and fast and instructions were very clear. I also appreciated the treats and water left out and local recommendations from Diarmuid! I would definitely come back, especially for a longer stay as the kitchen is fantastic and has everything one needs.

Ann's apartment was easy to find, self check in meant there were no time constraints. The apartment and all contents were new and spotless. Ann had freshly baked bread, eggs, milk, tea, coffee and all the condiments we needed to feel right at home. We had the best nights sleep. Situated in walking distance to all the shops, restaurants and pubs. Would highly recommend a stay here, we will back. 5 stars all the way.

Loretta’s guesthouse is very high level quality for Airbnb. I have stayed in many Airbnbs but none were anywhere near as good as this one. It is absolutely beautiful and the photos don’t do it enough justice. It is extremely clean, practical and beautiful. Loretto is an extremely welcoming host. What a pleasure to have met her. I can understand the previous reviews where someone said she didn’t want to leave. The bed is very comfy and made up with exquisite linen. The sitting/sun room looks out onto the well kept garden. A pure slice of heaven. We HIGHLY recommend it. 🌸🌼

What a fabulous place to stay. We were met and shown around. Accommodation was perfect for a couple and the scenery and views were stunning. Anne made a cake which was delicious and Skye the dog was so friendly, even came for a walk. We could not have asked for better and will definitely come back if in Ireland but will stay longer.

A wonderful place to stay, the host goes above and beyond to make sure you have everything you could need. She thinks of everything. Dorothy and her family are all so kind and welcoming. I would highly recommend. Just something to be aware of though the floors are polished making them very slippy so if you're unsteady on your feet that may be something to be aware of but it wasn't a problem for us and we loved every minute 10/10 for sure.

We have just had an amazing 2 days in Susan's apartment. It was spotlessly clean and had lots of little extras like shower gel, shampoo and even a lovely welcome basket of milk, butter, bread and apple pie. The apartment itself was in a lovely location with a beautiful walk into Killaoe where there were lovely cafes and restaurants. We would definitely stay again and would completely recommend it to our friends.
