Family-friendly holiday rentals in Swords

My favourite place on Earth 😊 While it’s close enough to Dublin, it’s so private and peaceful it feels like you are completely away from civilisation in the most positive way. The surrounding are absolutely stunning, and there is a lot of sightseeing nearby. This place is just perfect for disconnecting from the busy city life. And lastly, Richard and Ben are fantastic hosts, very friendly, responsive and helpful. I would highly recommend this place and will definitely be coming back here myself 💚

We stayed at Hazel’s place for a weekend and it was absolutely beautiful and stunning. If you are looking for a peaceful oasis this is the place to stay. Hazel is also a great host and very responsive. I would highly recommend.

It was so beautiful! It’s a great wilderness escape to wind down and relax.

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.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Very peaceful and picturesque private place to unwind and a great base to explore Louth and into the north. Close to beaches and some nice pub/restaurants nearby.

Omar was a great host! Very responsive. No surprises. Everything’s very clean. Welcome food gift was a plus. Easy to find and get in and out.

Wow! This was the perfect ending to our two week trip to Ireland. Such a unique property. VERY spacious for our group of 5. We each had our own bedroom, bathroom and parlor if we wanted it! The home was very clean and well equipped. The town of Malahide is quaint with lots of options to eat, drink, shop and walk along the water. Malahide is only a 5 minute drive. Daniel gave us great recommendations for dining. Dublin was a 30 minute taxi ride depending on traffic. 10 minute drive to airport which was really convenient. I would highly recommend staying at this country estate!

Fantastic place and great location!

A beautifully and extremely well equipped home that was a perfect base for us to explore the region. The elegantly designed cottage was comfortable and spotlessly clean and the private enclosed back garden was the icing on the cake with the beautiful sunshine and our dog who could potter about freely. Celine as a host was extremely friendly in her interactions and was very responsive to all messages. I have no qualms about recommending this listing to others.

Sean was a wonderful host. His apartment is a great location in the heart of Temple Bar. We loved the Stagedoor Café & the waiter Graham right next-door and went every morning we were there. Some people mentioned noise, but we use a sound machine app and didn’t hear a thing.

Great hosts and interesting accommodations. Lots to do outside in the summer, more limited in the summer but still beautiful place for walking and exploring. Great place for a Christmas family get together

My stay at Paula’s Place was restful, comfortable and quiet, just what I needed at the beginning of the year. The house is very comfortable, well stocked, in a peaceful location, and was decorated for Christmas, which was lovely! I was welcomed with a selection of local food, including fresh eggs, milk, butter, brown bread and marmalade. I had the fireplace going several times and enjoyed quiet days watching the snow or reading. The bed is extremely comfortable and the large bathroom has a shower with rain shower head and plenty of hot water. I highly recommend a stay at Paula’s Place and look forward to a return visit.

Great stay in Dublin. Close to all. Comfortable flat with all the amenities needed. We felt right at home. Quiet neighborhood with great restaurants and pubs nearby. Would definitely stay again!

Incredible setting with a wonderful host. The home is well laid out and even with three couples we were never on top of each other. Peaceful setting and easy to find

Spacious, sun drenched, well stocked, and clean apartment. Great location with lots of restaurants and sights nearby. Easily walkable, but public transportation is also right outside. Would highly recommend!

Our stay was amazing! The property and surroundings were beautiful and very well kept. We loved staying in the country where it was peaceful yet not too far a drive from towns and sites we wanted to see. Sarah and Chris were very welcoming and friendly, making our stay even more wonderful! Their sweet little well behaved dogs were the icing on the cake!

The apartment on the second floor is suitable for a family to live in, clean and tidy, quiet and beautiful, the owner's guide is clear, and it is convenient to drive in. The disadvantage is that when we stayed, the bathroom drain didn't work well, the bath water would overflow onto the back of the feet... it shouldn't be difficult to solve, I hope you pay attention...

5 stars – Wonderful weekend stay in Dublin! We stayed from Friday to Monday – four adults – and had an amazing time at this Airbnb. The place was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. It’s in a great location within walking distance of Camden Street, Grafton Street, and Temple Bar, which made it easy to explore the city on foot. The host was excellent – communication was quick and friendly, they checked in to see how things were going, and even allowed us an early check-in and late check-out, which was much appreciated. On top of that, we arrived to find snacks, milk, water, orange juice, and a few beers waiting for us – such a thoughtful touch! As a bonus, the neighborhood was having its yearly street party during our stay, and we were warmly welcomed to join in. It made the whole experience feel even more special and memorable. Highly recommend this place if you’re visiting Dublin – we’d definitely stay again!

Excellent accommodation and host. Booked for work colleagues and will definitely book again.

Great flat, perfectly located. Very easy walk to the city centre, trinity college, Pearse train station. Lively neighbourhood with many cafés, pubs or restaurants.

You would be hard-pressed to find a better location in Dublin, we were able to walk to pretty much anything that we wanted to do or see in Dublin. Close to Temple bar with lots of great bars and restaurants. And even though it is busy outside, Paul’s apartment was peaceful and quiet. I would like to extend my sincerest thank you to Paul and Marcel who were incredibly patient and helpful when we accidentally locked ourselves out. Traveling with two children and locking ourselves out caused us a lot of stress but we were back in the apartment in no time at all. Thank you Paul and Marcel! Do not hesitate to stay here, you will be happy you did.
