Family-friendly holiday rentals in Achill Island

Had a fantastic stay at Mary’s. The place is absolutely beautiful, stunning views and so peaceful. We were 2 adults and 3 teenagers. The kids loved swimming in the lake, walking the shore and feeding the donkeys. The cabin was well equipped, had everything you might need and was very cosy and warm. And the hot tub was fabulous! Great to have! Mary was a great hostess. Thanks Mary!

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.

We had a family break March 2025. 12 family members, the accommodation was perfect for us. Great kitchen/dining room for socialising/eating. Never felt on top of each other 6 of the bedrooms had en-suite shower room and there was also a downstairs cloakroom off of the main hall. All of the 5 double bedrooms downstairs had en-suites and one of the double bedrooms upstairs. We all loved coming back 'home' after a day out. Great outside facilities, plently of logs for the sauna, hot tub. Excvellent views. Beautiful stary skies on clear nights with zero light polution! Will be staying again, already planning our 2026 stay! Marian was extremely responsive both before and duting our stay, as was the local caretaker who responded almost immediatley to a maintenance request we had during our stay

We had a wonderful three-day stay at Mary’s place! The surroundings are beautiful, and the location is convenient with great access to the town. The price was very reasonable for everything that was offered. Even though the weather wasn’t perfect, the hot tub and sauna made our trip so much more enjoyable — they turned rainy days into relaxing afternoons. Sitting by the dock with a cup of hot tea, watching the water, was one of the most peaceful moments of our stay. Thank you, Mary, for providing such a cozy and lovely getaway!

We stayed at Mask Valley Lodge for two nights in April, driving all the way from Dublin—and what a stunning escape it was. Nestled in the heart of Mayo, this hidden gem offered the perfect mix of peace, comfort, and incredible scenery. Despite a few rain showers, the sun made several welcome appearances, painting rainbows across the valley and making the views from the deck and balcony feel like something out of a storybook. The lodge itself is beautifully presented, warm, and welcoming, with everything you need to truly unwind. The hot tub was a real highlight—perfect after a day exploring the nearby hills and mountains. We loved sitting out on the large decking area with a drink, soaking in the quiet (save for the occasional sheep!), and admiring the postcard-perfect views of Lough Mask and the surrounding landscape.Complete privacy, breathtaking sunsets, and a cosy evening fire made it a truly magical stay.

All I could say is Excellent stay, fantastic and neatly maintained. Centra is nearby for last minute things to buy.

Charming quiet and comforting house after a good day of sightseeing and walks. In line with the photos. Terri's instructions and communication were great. Big plus: - a children's park within 50m walk (I recommend the zipline) - Lots of amenities / linens / products available

Our stay in William’s cottage was truly relaxing and we loved the old world charm of the space. The views and the location were amazing and we were lucky enough to get a tour of some of the less known archaeological sites of the area with William who is a really helpful and friendly host. Will certainly be back again…

This is my second time to stay in one of Teresa's beautiful holiday homes, and it was just as wonderful as the first. The cottage is cosy, peaceful, warm and fully equipped with everything you could possibly need. Teresa is a fantastic host – warm, welcoming, and always on hand if needed. I can’t wait to come back again ❤️

couldn't fault this wee gem! great for the pups and so close to the beach! we will defo be back! 👌

Niamh's place is a very well restored old coastguard house that is unique to ireland . ideal for cozy living on the western seaboard of ireland. it very well appointed with everything you need for a short or long holiday. located within 5 minutes walking to the local seaside village of Cleggan. friendly locals and great pubs for a pint and food. local visits to the connemara national park and kylemore Abbey are must. if you are into walking or hiking its perfect and of course a gateway to innisboffin island. magical.

Great house in a beautiful area. Very clean and everything worked well. Mary was also very helpful and great communication..

Another fantastic stay for 12 of us in this fantastic house with loads of space for adults, teenagers and younger children. Such an amazing location, close to beaches and the most beautiful walks . We’ll be back and I would recommend to anyone who wants to stay in this area, or anyone who does not know the area but wants a break in a beautiful rural house, easily shared with friends or other families.

Oh my goodness this place!!!! Absolutely stunning location, peaceful and private yet handy for a great choice of restaurants in Clifden. The cottage itself is just totally beautiful, spacious, clean, comfortable and the views are unreal. We’ve never spent so much time wanting to look out of windows!! The deer and the ponies were a bonus. Mary was great at communication. All in all my favourite Airbnb. Thank you so much for letting us experience this fabulous property in a magical area.

Very comfortable. Beautiful surroundings and view. Didn’t want to leave.

Great location to village and surrounding amenities, great hoast,friendly and very helpful, accommodation was excellent with a nice touch of free scones on arrival. Would highly recommend 👌

Great host, clean and quiet. Would recommend

A huge thank you to Patricia and Gerard for such a lovely stay. The house is spacious, clean and in an excellent location. The house is situated in the perfect location for a wedding in Ashford Castle/Lodge and is also only a 15 minute walk to the village. Patricia and Gerard provided a seamless check in/check out experience and very generously provided ingredients for a full Irish breakfast. Could not recommend this accommodation enough and am looking forward to coming back already.

It was perfect! Very clean and SO charming! Easily walkable into the village. Exactly what we were looking for!

We spent 2 nights in Catherine's Cosy Cottage. It really is in a terrific location, 100 metres away from local pubs and restaurant, and a further 100 metres to the stunning Keel beach. The cottage itself is very cosy and has everything you need for a home from home experience. We were greeted by lovely homemade scones and brown bread which were so tasty. Catherine was great to deal with and was always responsive and helpful. Definitely recommended.

We had an incredible stay at this Airbnb! The view was absolutely stunning—whether it was sunrise, sunset, or just enjoying a cup of coffee in the morning, the scenery was breathtaking. The house itself was clean, cozy, and well-stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Maire and Noreen were communicative and made sure we had everything we needed. If you're looking for a peaceful getaway with an unbeatable view, this is the perfect spot. We would definitely stay here again!
