Pet-friendly holiday rentals in River Shannon

Overall, a really nice and well presented cottage and grounds, which we thoroughly enjoyed and easy contact with Peter, but Airbnb were terrible (!) with its heavily computerised communication system, e.g. (1) Difficulty in booking, so used my technical consultant; he has used Airbnb, but still took ¾ hour to book (€26) (2) Earlier, I contacted Airbnb by phone, they then e-mailed me to which I replied, but the reply never arrived because, I then learned, one has to use the app - beyond me and (3) A vast number of e-mails before and after the holiday; usually had to be read in case anything new, but largely repetitive and a waste of time - not your time I would say as sending seemed to be computer-generated. (4) All of which would make me hesitate using Airbnb again. I often stay in B & Bs arranged by a simple phone call (with no security checks on host or me!).

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.

So delighted to make a return visit to Mary’s Maisie’s Cottage! It was locket to be back with our furry friends! The gardens and peaceful location really make this such a hidden gem! Thank you for having us🩷

This place was amazing. Beautiful handmade furniture. Very relaxing environment. Highly recommend!

Just back from a lovely few days at Caroilin"s place. Great location, lovely restaurants within a short distance. very peaceful surroundings. The house is lovely and it was fantastic for us to have the dog with us. Would highly recommend.

A lovely and cozy house in a peaceful location. We loved the quietness to get away from a busy city environment. Anna was super responsive and the welcome manual was really helpful and clear full with local recommendations. The house itself was clean and just felt really warm and welcoming. A perfect place to unwind and have quality time with the family!

Great stay at Rest Easky, great base to explore the Wild Atlantic Way, lovely quiet village with everything you need - groceries, cafe, pub, butchers, pottery shop. The interior was lovely, the bed was very comfortable, kitchen had everything required. Would stay here again when coming back to Easky!

A fantastic location with views in every direction, each very special and therefore never boring. A good starting point for several (hiking) tours. Get tips on this, too. Sun (if you shine) from morning to evening at or in the house. We have already decided after a few days that we want to come back next year. To relax and unwind one of the best accommodations I know. And don't worry about the driveway, is really absolutely doable and does not require a special car or a special driver.

my family and I had a great week at the Coach house, and the house was spacious and very well equipped and clean. the main attractions are outdoors! the lake at the bottom of the driveway! the beach, the private hot tub was amazing and so spacious. the games room was fab! everyone loved it, from the adults to the kids, hours of entertainment 😀 highly recommend 👌

My partner, doggy and myself had an incredible time at Catrionas. We stayed for two nights and sat in both evenings and enjoyed the amenities. Catriona has three lovely dogs and so many cute farm animals - we were lucky enough to see baby bell as a 3 week old lamb. Most importantly Catriona was very accommodating of our dog who can be a bit funny (being very kind), she was a great host. Her place is the most perfect tranquil piece of heaven! Would recommend it to everyone :)

Amazing house with everything that you could possibly want or need. Hot tub/spa was amazing and the view spectacular. Would highly recommend Ernie’s Den. A+++

The kids enjoyed the swimming pool and the donkeys! Great location for exploring the coast and beyond.

We absolutely loved our stay at Rock Farm Slane! The place is so peaceful, surrounded by nature, making it the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle. Our dog, Zoe, had the best time exploring the wide, walkable spaces and taking in the beautiful sights. The atmosphere is serene, and it’s a wonderful spot to relax and unwind. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a tranquil getaway—especially for those with pets who love the outdoors! We’ll definitely be back.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Michelle was so accommodating and kind. We booked the same day of arrival and Michelle went out of her way to go to and clean and sort out the place before our arrival. The home is perfect for families and pets. The estate’s amenities are great, and we enjoyed tea and scones in the club house as well as use of the leisure centre.

A truly beautiful house with amazing views. The pictures don't do it justice. Swimming Pond and Sauna an added bonus. Extremely peaceful and everything needed in the house. A 2 minute walk into Glenbeigh for Pub, shop, restaurants. Great accommodation. Check in easy and instructions and information on hand.

very enjoyable few days in beautiful surroundings. Both Mike & Guy quick to respond to any questions that we had. Hard to pick any faults & the fact we are already considering booking for next year says it all i think.

If you want to see the countryside and meet the real people, the locals of Ireland and be surrounded by beauty, plants, gardens, cows, sheep, and friendly people. This is a place to stay. It’s in a beautiful area. I had the most peaceful relaxing week and Shannon’s home was beautiful.

Sophies place was 10/10. The location was perfect and so peaceful. We had our dogs with us and they enjoyed all the walks around the surrounding area. The eggs, milk, bread and apple juice were a great touch. Would 100% recommend to anyone and hope to return again in the future ☺️

I was blown away by the Dream Barn... wasn't sure quite what to expect beforehand, but my GOODNESS! Jim has thought of absolutely everything. The cottage is very maximalist, but in a fun, eclectic way. Old typewriters, sewing machine, *2* record players to choose from and a kitchen with everything you might think you need and then some... and the place is VERY clean! Neighboring cows came over and checked us out through our window, and we fed the chickens that share the patio. Several kitties stopped by to check us out. I would go out of my way to stay here again. Jim is ridiculously undercharging for such an incredible treat of a place. You'll contemplate moving to Moynalty after your stay, just so you could have Jim as a neighbor and friend.

Amy was absolutely lovely. we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely book again. breakfast was delicious! would highly recommend ordering. cabin was exactly as it looks in pictures. animals were awesome.

Beautiful area , house, can't speak ki day enough of the locals and William himself as true as they cone to area, good humour, very considerate and helpful with lots of great ideas and useful self published guides . thanks again William for all and posting left behind glasses . GRMMA🍀

Lovely out of the way spot, had a great time, host was informative and very helpful

My family loved our stay at Ardcarne Lodge. Brian and his parents were helpful and welcoming, with lots of local recommendations for restaurants and sightseeing, and the lodge itself was utterly charming. We also appreciated the fresh flowers, and the grocery essentials in the fridge. Our stay here was one of the highlights of our trip to Ireland!

If you're looking for a traditional Irish country cottage, with plenty of space, and privacy, you won't go wrong with this. Margaret the host was fabulous from the moment it was booked and really couldn't have been more helpful. The cottage has everything you could possibly need, both indoors and outdoors and it was lovely to find some buns, milk, orange juice and water on arrival. A very nice touch. Thoroughly recommend the host and the cottage. Book with confidence - you won't regret it.
