Seaview apartment in Louisburgh
Lovely Area with sea view and strand in walking distance. Clean and warm apartment that is part of the in the same house as the owners. Margaret is friendly and uncomplicated. Would stay again right away!

Spacious 4 bed apartment, Galway city centre
Malcom was great to work with, the place was very clean and very convenient to the city. Beds were very comfortable and plenty of room for our group of 6 people.

Johnston House: Historic Village Retreat
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.

Galway city centre fabulous 2 bedroom apartment
Wonderful place, with a wonderful view. Location was excellent adjacent to shopping and prime downtown. Clean with few complications.

Apartment 454 - Roundstone
We loved our stay, the place is comfortable and ideally located. The view is amazing. Recommend

The Amazing Panoramic Penthouse- Free Parking-
Fantastic place to stay with nearby dedicated parking, quick walk to all the action in Galway City, and fantastic views from the living area and balcony! I come to Ireland often and will definitely stay here again when in Galway City! The hosts were quick to respond to queries and provided great advice on things to do in the area, restaurants, bars, etc.

Luxury Galway City Penthouse
Although the pictures are highly accurate they don’t convey how beautiful and relaxing this place is. Definitely the perfect location within 5 min walk to the key area in dwtn Galway yet super peaceful.

Furbo Suite, at the Granary Suites
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

Exquisit Connemara with Killary Fjord sea view
A home from home in an amazing location with loads to do and see. Even if it was just a coffee on the sofa enjoying the view. Had everything we needed. A friendly welcome, Conor was readily available throughout our stay if required. Purple Door for breakfast Yum. Highly recommended

Big Lovely House with Perfect City Centre Location
A beautiful house and so close to everything. Lots of recommendations too. A wonderful big cozy house, perfect for families! Does what it says on the tin.

The Old Bakery
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.

Spectacular ocean views minutes to Cliffs of Moher
Fantastic stay, views were so beautiful

Spiddal, near Galway. On the Wild Atlantic Way.
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!

1843 restored stone cottage beside Galway Bay
Absolutely a beautiful cottage and location. Helen and Ronan provided great accommodations and valuable information about the area. Their restored cottage is spacious and comfortable. The location is superb! Highly recommend staying at this cottage.

Gated, Neo-Georgian, River Views
Our time at Stormont House was absolutely wonderful! Such a beautiful home in a gorgeous spot on the river. Frances was welcoming and responsive, and made sure that we were comfortable. This was the perfect spot for my family to stay while visiting our extended family in Tipperary—there’s was lots of space to host, and we spent many lovely hours sitting around the spacious kitchen table drinking tea and catching up with everyone. We are all hoping to be able to stay at Stormont again soon!

Cong Holiday Let
Anne’s house is really homely. It is very well equipped and doesn’t feel like a rental property. The location is superb. The photos really don’t do justice to the location! Highly recommend. Anne is an excellent host and her brown bread was delicious 👌

Lake view Apartment Kilaloe
My family and I enjoyed our stay in Marianne’s property for the Christmas holidays. The view of Lough Derg from the apartment is stunning! What also stood out was Marianne’s hospitality. She left a beautiful note for us with snacks and wine. The apartment was decorated for the occasion. The apartment is clean. The beautiful sceneries of the Shannon is walking distance.

Cosy 2 Bedroom Apartment in Galway City Centre
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.

Clahane Seaview Apartment 60m from the Ocean
Edel's had the best, most comfy beds and linens in Ireland. We loved the sea views from the patio and hearing the ocean waves at night. Edel directed us to the town of Ennistymon for a delightful lunch, shopping, and the Glen Walk. She is a wonderful, informative host.

Exclusive Luxury Seafront 2 Bedroom Apartment
Apartment was beautiful, very spacious and the place was spotless. Handy access to the town centre. Bed was very comfortable also. over all a lovely experience would definitely recommend and come back in the future:)

Bayview Penthouse in Salthill
This was our second stay here and it was as nice as the first. The place is spacious and modern with a great Balcony. We love the location close to Galway but in a quiet area with a wonderful view and a quick walk to O'Conners, one of our favorite pubs. There is an aquarium right out the door and an arcade just around the corner which would be a great benefit for anyone traveling with their kids!

Luxury 2 bedroomed Killaloe apartment
Excellent location in the town of Killaloe. Accomodations were wonderful with amazing views.

A Romantic Getaway Lakeshore 1 bed Lodge for 2 per
Had a beautiful stay here for 2 nights. The views from living room really are incredible. Would love to come back in the summer but to be honest there was one misty rainy day we were there and it was still absolutely beautiful. Very cozy place, was nice and warm and slept great in the beds. Would highly recommend to anyone and will definitely visit again.

Newly refurbished apartment by the lake
Stayed here for 3 nights with 3 other people. Loved the place, amazing views and beautiful surroundings. Olivia was always responsive to my messages as well. I would definitely stay there again if I am in the area 😊
