Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Bunratty

This was the perfect combination of "rural" and "suburban". On a peaceful, country lane, away from the bustle of Tipperary, yet only a 5 minute drive to all the shops and conveniences one would need. Surrounded by sheep, cattle, horses and meadows, it is the quintessential Irish property. Thoughtfully remodeled, it provided all the modern necessities without losing its basic charm. Mary was immediately available to answer questions, and provided excellent feedback. The house itself is well arranged, comfortable, and welcoming...small, but roomy enough so as not to feel crowded. The two fireplaces were a wonderful bonus. Our only issue is the size of the main bedroom. Having to deal with the original floor plan during the remodel, the "master" bedroom is large enough for only a double bed - barely. I only wish I had found out about Mary's other Airbnb rental - in Dublin - before we rented someone else's there. I'm sure hers would have been MUCH nicer than the one we ended up renting!

Had a great time staying Katie’s! An excellent location, just right off the motor way and a quick taxi trip into town. The house was spotless and spacious with enough room for us all. Will definitely be coming back again for our next Galway trip! :)

We had a little trouble locating the property but Patrick's wife, Michelle, came to find us so that we could follow her there. She was very kind and welcoming and even escorted us in to town and recommended some restaurants to us. It is a beautiful place to stay, clean and well equipped, with stunning views of the Irish countryside and excellent hosts. Would highly recommend.

Amazing value! Kathleen's cottage was beautiful, well equipped and very clean! We loved the chess board and other games. Kathleen even had a fire lit ready for our arrival, and had a chilled bottle of wine waiting for us as a birthday present in the fridge! Would recommend to anyone, and will definitely be back again :)

We had a wonderful time at Keith's sunny little house in Kilkee and would return any time. It is especially well suited for families with kids, and ours loved the many toys that the hosts provided.

What a gorgeous, peaceful, and well stocked home! The scenery is a pastoral postcard, and the home is on a private, quiet cul-de-sac (many neighbors are full time residents ~ friendly, quiet, considerate). We have two dogs, and we were grateful to find a dog-friendly residence AND with so many amazing forest trails less than five minutes from the house ~ heaven! And the home ~ 3 bedrooms, all with ensuite bathrooms ~ a well stocked kitchen, a most comfy living room with a great TV, a fireplace ~ all so convenient and comfortable. We needed a place for two months as we are moving to the area, but it takes so long here to close on a house, so we weren't just vacationing; we were LIVING there. Still, it had all we needed for day-to-day living. Miriam was immediately responsive when we contacted her, but honestly, we never needed anything so we rarely needed to be in touch. In sum, it was a remarkable deal for such comfort in an amazing area We feel quite lucky.

If I could move in permanently I would. A beautiful home in a stunning location, this isn’t to be missed. Plenty of linens and extra pillows, enough bathrooms to make all the guests comfortable, open and spacious kitchen and dining area. We were sad to see our trip come to an end and are already planning our next visit! Ballyvaughan is not only beautiful, it is full of incredibly kind and warm people. Make sure you leave enough time to see the sights, but also visit the local establishments and get to know the community!

Very nice and well equipped house. The bedding is comfortable. It was great, we recommend!

The apartment was exactly as described and pictured. The host was very helpful and responded quickly to an inquiry. I would recommend Valerie’s place to anyone staying in the area.

I can only concur with all the great reviews Rory has accumulated. It was a horrible wet day the day I traveled to Rory's place & after a long, miserable drive it was so welcoming to see a warm, cheering fire crackling away when I arrived. Communications with Rory were excellent throughout & the accommodation had everything I needed for my stay. I would have no hesitation in recommending Rory and his place to anyone contemplating visiting the area.

A lovely apartment and very central. Super clean and very easy check in process.

Andrew was a great host! We loved our stay, and it was a great location to do day trips to the south of Ireland! The friendly dog was a huge plus, as well!

Very good communication with Sinead. Very functional studio, well located in Clifden ( restaurants, neighboring supermarkets) and in Connemara. Our stay was very nice.

Great hosts, lovely location. Donie went out of his way to offer a lift into Foynes. Lovely people.

Thank you so much for welcoming us to your fabulous home! Very good hosts who gave us great advice. The room (or rather the apartment!) was very clean, in the style of the house which gives it all its charm. Very well signposted, the house is in the middle of nature... nothing better to enjoy Ireland! I highly recommend it!

Had a great time at Lil’s place! She was super helpful and even arranged transport for us to Adare Manor where we were attending a wedding. Thanks Lil!

We loved our stay for a Joint Celebration. It was a great venue and the Grand Children loved it as well as our Adult Children. The Grounds were amazing and such a loss of all the Trees in the storm. We were well looked after and very easy to chat to Sarah and Nigel . The house and Kitchen were well equipped . Very near village of Roundstone and all the fabulous beaches / scenery .

we couldn't recommend this fabulous accommodation enough. It is set in beautiful surroundings with spectacular views. The property is everything you need and more. The rooms are all excellent and we had a choice of relaxing spaces to chillout in. Fantastic location with great space both inside and out. We met John who was lovely to chat to and pointed us in the right direction for activities to do etc. We will definitely be returning 😊

We felt right at home and it was the perfect fit for our multi-family trip of 7 adults and 2 young kiddos! Great location with lots to do in the surrounding area. We personally enjoyed going to the beach, taking the ferry to the Arran Islands, and a sheep farm tour. Deirdre was a welcoming and wonderful hostess. 10/10 would recommend!

Carola was great in all the communication. The house was perfect for our family with 5 children of different ages. Toys and books and enough spaces for each to chill. Lovely outside space and inside all available that you may need. Would certainly come back

This is a love song to Atherlow Castle. Our family of 6(all adults) stayed for a week and didn’t want to leave. We truly felt at home. There’s plenty of space for everyone to have their privacy in the castle but there was still such a comfortable feeling. The grounds are lovely, with the nicest looking herd of cows I’ve ever seen peacefully grazing on impossibly green grass. Freda and Declan were quintessential hosts! Friendly and unobtrusive with adorable bouncy dogs. The area, as described by a local tea shop owner we struck up a conversation with, is real Ireland not tourist Ireland. All of the major sites are within driving distance but the local area has hidden gems. We have stayed in wonderful Airbnbs all over the world but Atherlow Castle won my heart.

Located in a private forest, Finola's estate is a living history. It's my first time staying in such an old building. A quiet country road takes us into the woods, then the fountain welcomed us, just like entering an elegant Victorian film. The house is equipped with all modern facilities and even a bathtub. The first day, the wifi was not functioning, but Finola helped promptly. Minor flaws: the cups were not cleanly washed, and providing toiletries would make it even more perfect.

We fell in love with the house. It just felt like home. Super comfortable, peaceful, spacious and clean. It had every amenity you can wish for. I could have stayed forever. One negative, unfortunately, was the Internet connection. It did not work at all. We contacted Susan and were told that the provider does not work weekends. I think maybe a little effort could have been done to contact a help desk to intervene. Some of us needed to connect for work and it was quite frustrating that the service was not available. It also meant of course that we could not watch any of the TV applications available on their smart TV.
