Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Cork

I stayed at Janet’s at the start of the Easter holidays with my husband, two children and mother. We had an absolutely wonderful time. The location and view were fantastic, and the cottage was very comfortable and well equipped. Janet was incredibly helpful and the whole experience was just what we hoped for. We’re already planning when we might be able to come back!

Excellent host. Very responsive when we had a problem with the door lock (mostly user error due to extreme jet lag induced fatigue).

We had a wonderful few days in Una’s place. Location was second to none….everything you need around the corner. House was cosy , clean and comfortable. Would happily go again.

The house is quirky and Maureen is a warm and welcoming host!

We would HIGHLY recommend Mary's house! The house was perfect--even bigger than it looked in the photos, with four total bedrooms, two sitting rooms, and a large kitchen. Ample parking and a cozy sun room as well. The house is a super quick walk into town--less than five minutes and you're on Clonakilty's main street. The town itself is fantastic--tons of great bars, restaurants, coffee shops, grocery stores, all extremely walkable from Mary's house. We had a fantastic trip and would stay again in a heartbeat.

My partner, 6 mo daughter and I stayed at Bernadette’s townhouse for three nights while in Kenmare as part of a larger road trip. We felt comfortable, safe and extremely taken care of. The home is nestled in a quiet residential area not far from the town center. It was exactly what we were looking for; far enough away from any busyness but an easy walk or drive into town. The beds were all comfortable; the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed; the living space was nice and comfy. It was great to have so much space, especially with a baby. Bernadette was very responsive to our questions and helpful with recommendations; she even left some nice touches like fresh flowers and fruit! I would definitely recommend this Airbnb!!

Fantastic stay at The Eagles! Host Alan couldn’t do more for us, and the location is unreal. 5 mins from the town, but still far enough out to have lots of privacy! Would highly recommend for large groups, tonnes of space to accomodate everyone comfortably!

Good location and house with all basic needs. Comfortable beds and good room sizes. No thru traffic, so very quiet. Good place for short stay. Kitchen had Nespresso coffee machine (small alu cups). Short walking distance to Kenmare town and Kenmare Bay Hotel (with gym use against fee). Kenmare has lively shopping streets with nice pubs and restaurants. There is a gas station with small supermarket just before turning into the estate. Very convenient.

The Old Presbytery was a delight! Noreen, who lives in the apartment collection, was there to meet us when we arrived and was highly attentive to all our needs and questions. The apartment itself was clean, well equipped, and well organized. The location couldn't have been more perfect: literally a stone’s throw from the cafés and shopping of delightful central Kinsale. We will definitely return to it if we come back to Kinsale.

Noreen was a great host who went above and beyond to make sure my family and I had what we needed during our stay. For example, she purchased sheets for a playpen, bought milk and chocolate/cookies, and provided a change pad for our little one. Her place is very spacious and quiet. It also is great for traveling with a baby. Location wise - it is about 10-15 mins walk from the centre of town and the walk is nice. Parking was great and easy to get in and out. We would have liked to have a bit more amenities in the kitchen, just because we ate in quite a bit for dinner with our 5 month old, but that said, it was sufficient to get by. I would recommend her place.

Sweet spot dead center of Killarney… used it as base to do everything we wanted. Did not want to leave. Me and gf (age 28) perfect. Gap of DUNLOE , lakes of Killarney, Killarney national park, ring of Kerry, and dingle peninsula was all that I could have asked for. Also Killarney was a sick town 10/10

The house is nicely located and easy to locate. As for the house, it's fine. It is cozy and the rooms are spacious. The kitchen is a little small but has the basics for light dinner or breakfasts. Although there are beds for 7 people , the dining table is for 4 only. One of the drawbacks we found is that the hostess cuts the heating and hot water at night and we do not warn that that would happen. We had to warn Angela that we didn't have hot water to shower. It's cold at night in the house.

Amazing Airbnb, very comfortable and specious. Has everything and more than you might need. The view is incredible. Nora went above and beyond to assist us, we had an amazing stay!!

Lovely apartment.. Could have used a small Coffee table.

Lucille, was a perfect host, so friendly and welcoming. This location was perfect for our family. The location and views are beautiful, and you are very close to the town. Thank you for looking after us Lucille

Staying with Marie & Ann was great. Great hosts and a lovingly furnished apartment with great views. We'd love to come back anytime:)

Our stay at Grouse Lodge was wonderful!! William met us when we arrived with a friendly greeting and shared local information. He even told us about a local Gaelic football game (he’s the team manager), which was an unexpected addition to our itinerary and one we greatly enjoyed! The apartment was one of the cleanest we have stayed in and was exactly as described. As a previous guest described, the W/D is a combo unit that takes 3-4 hours to complete a small load - we have come to expect these on travels and it was no problem, but something to be aware of if not familiar with these units. We greatly enjoyed our stay in the area and would 100% choose this location again. Our favorite activities in the area were Gap of Dunlop, Muckross Abbey, Slea Head drive (especially Dunquin Pier area - lay in the grass and wish you could stay forever), and the Gaelic football game (check one out if you can)! If Grouse Lodge is available during your travels, book it now! You won’t regret it!

Stay here and you will not be disappointed! It’s even better than the pictures! Julie is an excellent host and adds some special touches to this apartment that made us feel welcomed! The kitchen is well stocked and she provided some local items that made us fall even more in love with the food of Ireland. The entire apartment was squeaky clean and extra bed blankets were provided if needed. The bed was comfortable and there was plenty of room for our suitcases and traveling gear. It was very rainy and she provided an umbrella to help keep dry. This is the perfect location for a Ring of Kerry trip. We were on the second floor apartment and it had beautiful views of the farmer’s field. Julie was readily available for any questions or just a good chat about life in general.

The house was perfect! Better than I expected. The house has everything that we could need and more. So often airbnbs have the bare minimum but Bernie has thought of everything you could need including homemade bread and butter when we arrived. Super friendly and communicative. The house is perfectly situated. Couldn’t have stayed in a better place

Beautiful spotless appt very centrally located in the town ,yet quiet at night .Very thoughtful plate of sandwiches and other food goodies left for arrival v.much appreciated after long drive .Kitchen was well stocked which meant I didn’t have to bring the kitchen sink if I wanted to cook Camilla was very friendly and helpful without being intrusive.The only issue I had was that I would have loved to have the time to stay a few days longer

this is a lovely little house to rent. everything was in working order and squeaky clean. It is not really within walking distance of the sites of Killarney. it is really meant for someone with a car. as we were planning to do hiking in the national Park, it is proximate to muckross house. by the way, that is a great place to visit and very interesting. John gave us great local recommendations

Lovely place, very comfortable and clean and in a great location in the village.

We had a wonderful stay at this peaceful and beautiful cottage as a family of four adults. The house was very comfortable, and Laura was a fantastic host. She thoughtfully left us some food and milk, which was such a nice touch. Having a car made it easy to reach the charming town of Kinsale, just a quick drive away. Laura also provided excellent recommendations for dining, and every place she suggested was exceptional. Overall, it was a comfortable stay, and we would highly recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway in the area.

Had a great stay at this lovely apartment. Super comfortable fab decor and services like a home away from home. Shower was superb and super comfy bed. Location is ideal right in the heart of Clonakilty town. Had a lovely lunch and breakfast in Caseys. Lovely staff also. James is a brilliant host great communication and very accommodating. Would highly recommend and will definitely be back.
