Family-friendly holiday rentals in Aran Islands

Catherine’s accommodation is extremely homely and in beautiful surroundings. Not too close to the town but not too far either. Catherine is very friendly and welcoming and attentive to her guests. We enjoyed our stay from start to finish, we even stayed an extra night.

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

Our family loved the cottage. The views and sunsets were just beautiful. It is 2 minutes from Cliffs if Moher and about 8 minutfrom Doolin. It was a nice touch to have breakfast foods for the first morning. The hot tub was an added bonus. We had a great dinner at Russell Seafood and listened to music at McDermotts.

This was our second stay at Mark’s Eden Retreat Cottage. We stayed there last year and loved it so much we came again this year. The size was perfect for a small group of friends on a combined business and leisure trip. We love the spacious kitchen and especially the little fireplace. The surroundings are beautiful and peaceful and just a short trip into town for supplied, pubs, busses, shopping, etc. Last year we used the hottub but this year it was out of service. Mark notified us in advance of this and compensated us for the inconvenience, which I appreciated very much.. Mark is a great communicator! Will stay again. Thank you!

John’s house was nice and clean and cosy. Bit further from Kinvarra than we expected but it was fine as we had a hire car. The house had everything we needed. We had a lovely stay. Would definitely recommend

A little bit of paradise hidden away at the top of a hill. Mandy was an excellent and extremely knowledgeable and helpful hostess, she really goes above and beyond to ensure a smooth stay at her picture perfect little cottage. The location is ideal, right in the middle of all the tourist spots whilst still being secluded. I would highly recommend a stay with Mandy and we intend to visit again in the near future. Thanks again Mandy for everything

We’ve just spent 5 fantastic days staying with John & Maura. We are a family of 4, two young girls 6-3yo. The property was ideal for us, kitchen had everything we needed and a nice court yard to eat outside in the evening. There’s a games room that we spent time in each night and played basketball on the tennis court which we loved doing. We did loads in the time we were here, travelling by car is easy and accessible. (Gills pub locally, made us feel at home for a few Guinness and bet on the horses) Isle of Arran and bike hire is a must Salthill beach and swimming baths are great Corofin Gaa was a great recommendation by the owners if you want to watch some local sport Galway was lively, loads of live music and good food. (Magpie is worth the queue) And lastly mini the dog, my daughters wanted to bring her home….just rub her belly. Thanks for great trip, we’ll be back. Michael Heather Ada Nina

We had the most incredible week! The house is just beautiful and full of everything you need. It was very comfortable and warm. The location is amazing with so much wildlife to enjoy. Really can not recommend it enough would love to return in the near future!

We had a lovely time at Terri's place. She let us know everything before we arrived. The bedding is good, we slept well and were close to everything. I would recommned this property

Ed was a most gracious host. Offered recommendations in the area and very quick to respond to any questions. Would love to visit again someday

What a wonderful place! Beautifully tranquil in the heart of Burren country. The photographs do not do the property justice at all, the space seems more spacious and was thoroughly delightful. The only complaint is on myself having only booked two nights, I could have stayed so much longer. Will try to be back next year.

Excellent. We had a peaceful 2 nights at Sandras. A local taxi brought us to and from the village. We walked from the house to the Dun Aengus fort then got a taxi back to pick up our bags en route to the ferry. Sandra kindly let us store the bags at the house after check out. 5 stars 🌟

You can't get a better location with just a short walk to the Cliffs of Moher, this place is as advertised.

Great place and wonderful host. I would highly recommend Maggs’ perfectly located home - we could walk to everything. Maggs was extremely helpful and responsive to our questions, and also proactive in sharing tips and information about the area and fun things to do. Thank you for hosting us Maggs!

We loved our stay here! Cozy place that made for a great 3 day stay in Galway, which was the midway point in our road trip around Ireland. Everything you need is walking distance but the apartment was very private and quiet. Having the laundry machines was an added bonus for us as we packed light. Hosts were very responsive and helpful. Rory even came out to meet us on the sidewalk as we had a little trouble finding it (our fault, not their lack of instructions lol). On our last night our son got sick (too many oysters) and although we cleaned everything we could, we still managed to ruin a linen or two. They were incredibly kind and understanding. The only minor annoyance is the parking, but we pretty much ditched the car on a free side street and didn’t drive it until we left. Highly recommend getting over to Crane’s Bar on a Thursday night for the storytelling and live trad music. We brought our 10yo and it was really special to experience.

Noel was very welcoming, the house was spotless, very spacious, great location and he was responsive before and throughout our stay. Very happy overall!

We loved staying in The Bakery. The Photos don’t do it justice. Spacious and pristine. Maeve was very quick to respond to any queries we had. She had also left Lindor chocolates, biscuits and fresh flowers for us which was just lovely. Roundstone is so picturesque, with a couple of lovely pubs and the walk on the nearby beaches on Christmas Day morning was just stunning. Would highly recommend staying here.

We had an amazing stay here. Veronica and Justin were fantastic hosts. They were very friendly and helpful. The location is beautiful and the house is so clean, cosy and comfortable. Would absolutely recommend for a stay in lovely Spiddal!

This was a wonderful private place to stay in. It was close to Galway and had a lot of local amenities within 10 minutes.

We had a lovely time at Patricia ‘s cottage with some homemade scones and lots of treats and fruits for us to share with our friends and children . Very peaceful place with all you need . I recommend it !

Barry was an excellent host and easy to communicate with. The apartment was a nicely renovated older apartment and very comfortable. The area was perfect to explore Ennis and walking distance to everything. The location was also great to get out and explore surrounding towns and areas. We very much enjoyed our stay!
