Perfect hosts, lovely accommodation, stunning views of coast, sunsets and sheep farms. Would highly recommend this stay. The apartment was well equipped, comfy beds, lovely big towels and well insulated. A short drive to the beach, Croagh Patrick, Westport and an hour from Connemara national park. A very special trip and lovely memories made!

Johnston House: Historic Village Retreat

JohnRating, 5 stars8 months ago
Johnstons is great! Kinvarra is such a charming town and this place is a great spot for exploring it. Lily and Richard were very easy to chat with, and had lots of great local recommendations. The apartment is huge and filled with art and posters reflecting the history of the building. It also has easily one of the best stocked kitchens I’ve ever seen in an Airbnb. And of course Aunt Agnes.

Luxury Galway City Penthouse

JoshRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
The place was fantastic and exactly what my wife and I needed after driving through the country side for a few days. It’s in a perfect location to walk to the city center and Quay Street for food and drinks. The balcony was perfect for watching the ships come and go and for a little bit of a view when winding down. Would recommend to anyone needing a comfy place to stay a few days in Galway.

Furbo Suite, at the Granary Suites

DianaRating, 5 stars7 months ago
Irene's place offered unmatched views in Galway. River Corrid from living room and bedrooms. Great reading nooks. We got to see the seals at highs tide (as Irene told us). She accommodated extra linen we needed and met us when we left. Quick to respond and great suggestions in her book. It was plenty space for the kiddos to play around. mind the steep steps (something to keep in mind if you have mobility issues). Overall the location and views are unparalleled. We can't wait to come back

Big Lovely House with Perfect City Centre Location

JohnRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
This was a charming house steps away from the Latin Quarter. Just what we were looking for. The beds were comfortable and the dinning area and living room were perfect for our group size (6). We even had luck getting parking right in front of the house.

The Old Bakery

RoseRating, 5 stars3 months ago
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.

Spiddal, near Galway. On the Wild Atlantic Way.

NicoleRating, 5 stars6 months ago
We absolutely loved being able to call this place home during our visit to Ireland. Sheila and Redmond were very responsive and friendly in making sure we had everything we needed and more. The location was beautiful and conveniently walkable to the pier, shops and pubs. Our girls especially loved the little playroom - perfect for our family trip!! We’ll definitely be back!

We had a wonderful stay at Stormont House. The house is in a beautiful location. Very peaceful but 5 mins walk to shops. Perfect as a base for touring or just a very relaxing break. House is immaculate and very spacious. Hosts helpful and welcoming. Highly recommend!

Relax in our tranquil seaside village haven

StevenRating, 5 stars5 months ago
Lovely house in a very quiet location. House - very, very well equipped for a holiday rental. Lots of extra stuff (kitchen stuff, board games etc.) over and above a normal rental. Plenty of new fluffy towels, soaps, cleaning products and equipment, herbs, spices, basic condiments, tea and coffee ++++++ many other extras. Bedrooms are all downstairs but the second bathroom is upstairs. This is the only accessible room upstairs as the owners were locked. Property has plenty of parking and a big area for ball games, even a basketball and net! I found the main bed very firm and not that comfy, but that could be me! Lovely views out over the beach to the Atlantic. Quilty is very very quiet, especially in October. Just a pub, will equipped but expensive shop and the beach. Everywhere is a drive away. Cliffs of Moher, Doonbeg, Lahinch all within driving distance and worth a visit. Overall I’d highly recommend Geraldine’s house with the caveat that the immediate area is quiet!

Cosy 2 Bedroom Apartment in Galway City Centre

HeatherRating, 5 stars7 months ago
Location, location, location! The space is a bit out dated but it was perfect for four adults in the heart of Galway. Fruit, milk, and juice on arrival was a lovely touch. Excellent communication, comfy beds, coffee, and great travel tips helped make our stay so nice.

Exclusive Luxury Seafront 2 Bedroom Apartment

HannahRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
We absolutely loved this spot for our time in Galway. Easy parking (if the building lot is full you can park for free across the street) and a playground right across the street. Super family friendly place and had all we needed. The fridge is smaller but was sufficient for our 4 night stay. If you would be doing lots of cooking at home, it might be a little cramped. We mostly drove into the city, but you could easily walk it as well. Absolutely can recommend this spot!

Bayview Penthouse in Salthill

KatieRating, 5 stars1 month ago
The Lane's condo was beautiful, and exactly as the pictures show. It was perfect for our family to use while in Salt Hill and Galway. The Lane was responsive when we had questions about features of the home, and very easy to communicate with.

Atlantic Retreat Luxury Apartment 2 - Burren views

LibbyRating, 5 stars3 months ago
The apartment was exactly as pictured and described in the listing. We were a little concerned about the detailed instructions to get in but once we arrived and followed the instructions it was well explained and easy. It was a bit cold when we arrived as the heating wasn't on correctly but Carola had warned us and explained that we would need to turn the radiators up, which we did but a couple of them did not seem to work. Luckily, the weather had gone from Arctic conditions to above freezing so not such a problem! The TV had been unplugged from the Eir box but we plugged it back in and all was fine. Also, the wifi dropped out one night and hadn't come back on in the morning so had to contact Carola again to get that reset. We cooked meals and found the kitchen well equipped for our culinary needs. The area is lovely and serene and the local village is nice. Aside from the few minor inconveniences, overall, it was a very pleasant stay.
