Family-friendly holiday rentals in Lough Mask

Booking was a breeze. Contacted the hosts beforehand and they were extremely helpful in narrowing down a date and a check-in time. When we arrived, Dermot was there to greet us and showed us to our place of stay. He made sure that we felt welcomed and if we needed anything at all, not to be afraid to give him a shout. Dermot helped us with organising a take-away and also with setting up the fire and heater. Area was beautiful and peaceful with stunning views of the Ox Mountains range. The barn was far bigger than I expected, with lots of room and everything you could need. Overall, was a very enjoyable experience and would highly recommend it.

As advertised. We had a nice relaxing stay. If you’re looking to unplug for a weekend in a rural area , in a rustic cabin, this is for you. It is not a hotel but glamping but pictures were accurate. Communication was great but be aware no wi fi and cell service didn’t work for us. Hunter the dog guided us on a nice nature walk.

The cabin was spotless and the location was spectacular, Mary and her sister Breeta were a pleasure to deal with. The cabin and the views were amazing, we spent it as a couple and with friends but it is ideal for family break also would love to go back highly recommend it.

Collanmore Island Lodge is unreal, couldn't recommend it more! We had the best stag weekend ever here and Ciaran is a absolute gent. Getting to the island is easy and exciting, beds are comfy and facilities are top notch. Ideal for big family gatherings or any type of West of Ireland getaway. I will be back again for sure, thank you Ciaran and your great team.

Gorgeous property, very clean and even bigger in person than in pictures. The sauna is lovely however we weren’t able to use the hot tub as it wouldn’t heat even after a strong fire and a few hours and we weren’t able running out of wood.

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

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

We were more than satisfied with the accommodation. We were greeted by horses and the extremely sweet little dog Minnie, and then by delicious scones in the apartment. The area is beautiful and we went on several day trips to Connemara National Park, Burren National Park, the Aran Islands/Cliffs of Moher and Galway. What's more, the area was just perfect for us and the children. My daughters loved feeding the horses and playing with Minnie the dog. Or, if it rains a little, there is additional room for playing, which is equipped with some toys, table tennis, etc. Maura responded quickly to minor problems and helped us out, and was generally very accommodating. If we ever visit Ireland again, we will definitely stop by here again.

Location was out of this world. We were very lucky with the weather too. It was one to remember.

We had such a lovely few days in this gorgeous cottage. The views are just fab and Theresa couldn’t have been more helpful. We hope to return soon.

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!

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 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.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Cosy Cottage. With the wood burner lit for our arrival, the cottage certainly lived up to its name. Cosy and very comfortable. We would definitely recommend a visit to the Beach Bar for drinks, food and the atmosphere. The Aughris coastal walk is worth doing. the views are stunning.

A lovely, comfortable house, we had a great stay. Well kitted out kitchen, good broadband, comfy bed. I really liked the outdoor seating areas. The house was easy to find and the location was ideal; peaceful and so close to little beaches and to Louisburgh with quiet little roads perfect for walking. Louisburgh is a pleasant town, the bookshop in particular is great. Old Head beach and woods are close by and beautiful. Our dogs had a great time too.

Francis was an excellent host. He responded very promptly and checked in with us to be sure all was well throughout our stay. The place was nice and clean with plenty of room for our group of 7+ baby. It’s close to all you would want to see in Galway for a couple nights and is right next to the beautiful river where you can have a nice stroll and watch a sunset. Loved it!

Our stay at James and Ciara's was just wonderful. As soon as we arrived there were so many thoughtful, luxurious touches that made all the difference after a long day of travel, from lovely smelling diffusers and candles and a roaring fire in the woodburner, to fancy Aesop hand soap and the comfiest pillows and mattress ever. There was also a welcome basket containing some treats such as wine and chocolate and Ciara's incredible homemade Irish soda bread. This is the kind of stuff that really makes a difference when staying in an Airbnb! The place was also spotlessly clean and everything was of very high quality. From the get go their communication was super prompt and friendly, nothing was too much trouble, always offering help, advice and recommendations. J&C are some of the nicest and warmest people you'll ever meet. We also got to meet some of their animals which our daughter LOVED, and the setting and outlook from the cottage is just beautiful. One of the best Airbnbs out there!

We stayed at Frank's beautiful tiny house for two nights and had a great time. Frank provided more than we would have asked for! :) The house is super cozy and has a lot of sweet details!

We had an absolutely great two-night stay and chose this place because it's not too far from Galway, making it easy to get to the port — our plan was to visit the Aran Islands. The house makes you feel like the main character in a movie — so cozy and beautiful! The hosts are very welcoming, and we hope to come back one day!

This was a wonderful place!

Justin and Veronica were wonderful hosts! They went above and beyond what I would expect from a host. They were so kind and welcoming and the bnb was clean and peaceful. The bed was so comfortable! Highly recommend for anyone visiting Spiddal or passing though. We would love to visit again in the future :)

We loved our stay at Jacqui's place! We only wish we could have stayed longer. We did a day trip to the Aran Islands and enjoyed driving around Connemara, but the kids loved coming back to such a great house (with easy beach access!). We also loved the surrounding animals. Home had everything we needed (and more), and Jacqui was always helpful and quick to respond. What a beautiful part of Ireland 😊

Majella’s place was perfect for my family of 5. It had every amenity listed. The location was beautiful and private, it was easy to find. If we’re able to come back we would love to stay here again.
