Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Connacht

Just returned from spending a week at Nuala’s home. I cannot emphasize enough how incredible our stay was. If you are thinking about booking with her, don’t hesitate. Just do it! She had every amenity anyone would need for a short or long stay. She has an entire garage of outdoor games and equipment for children- bikes, dune buggy, rain/mud boots, soccer balls, golf clubs, fishing equipment, chairs, picknet blankets, and the list goes on. Her home was immaculate, and spacious for up to 7 people. She had a detailed list of all of the activities in the area. But the best part was her hospitality, the animals and sweetest dogs ever, and the location. Her home is a five minute walk to the beach, with incredible views and scenery! My children played with the family dogs everyday, we milked cows, got local eggs from the hen house every morning, fed the horses. Nuala was so incredibly kind. She treated us like family from the moment we arrived. Lots of tears shed when we left. Thank you!

Lovely hosts and stunning house. Really enjoyed our stay Highly recommend thanks again

Beautiful peaceful setting, less than a handful of cars passed the entire stay and the nearest neighbours are out of view so just the country view for miles. The house was clean and had everything we needed. Plenty space, warm comfortable, all the kitchen utensils one might need . Check In and out was stress free, Robert provided excellent instructions to ensure we had a relaxing stay. We would stay again for sure. Thank you Robert for hosting

Mary was a great host and it’s a great house and location.

We enjoyed our stay at Kathy's as a family of 6. It was a fab location 8 minute drive outside the town. We used a taxi once and it was €14, taxis were always available on the street and by using the freenow app. Kathys accommodation was spotlessly clean, great wifi, easy check in. Everything was amazing and the house is huge. Thanks for a great stay Kathy. We will definitely be back.

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.

A beautiful homely stay surrounded by lovely countryside. Our son especially enjoyed his morning hello to the cows! The house was really clean with lots of thoughtful touches like the milk in the fridge, jams and biscuits and the honesty box for wine. The bathroom was well stocked and the shower was excellent. Beds were comfy and our son LOVED the bus bed and kids room. We felt very comfortable and settled and wish we could’ve stayed longer. Kathleen was the perfect host - helpful and friendly communication. This is a wonderful place to stay, especially for exploring the local area and Clonmacnoise.

Amazing stay, highly recommended! We had a wonderful stay in Listowel.The town is lovely and full of kind and helpful people who made our visit even more special. We were four couples, and the house was absolutely perfect for us – spacious, elegant, and just as beautiful as in the photos. It was clean, well-equipped, and very comfortable for a group. Robert and Joe were extremely responsive and kind throughout the whole process – from key collection to making sure we were settled and happy. Their hospitality truly made a difference in our stay. As a small suggestion for improvement, the water pressure in the upstairs bathroom could be stronger, and we felt the kitchen could use a few more large pots and pans, as we cooked at home and would have appreciated more cooking options. Overall,our experience was wonderful, and we are very grateful. We truly hope to return soon and would definitely recommend this home to anyone looking for a warm and welcoming stay. Best Regards, Priscila Luz

stayed at Ailishs with my family for 8 days lovely appartment Central to everything we needed and such a lovely town with lots to do for all ages would highly recommend 🙂

A beautiful apartment, very peaceful, clean and near by Enniskillen town. Friendly and very helpful host. :)

Padraic’s place was the perfect location in the heart of West End, Galway. He was an excellent host who was very responsive and flexible to my needs. The unit was a great 3 bedroom that had all you needed to a visit to this lovely city. I highly recommend it and will definitely be returning.

Good-medium value for a clean, quiet place. We spent 3 nights. Very walkable town and great restaurant and cafe choices, petrol, coffee, grocery, etc. Great water pressure, tea kettle and supplies, and a nice touch of milk and water in small fridge. Large bed with the topper was a bit sunken toward each other for 2 adults ( 165, 210 pounds, not obese) and the single bed in the same room is very firm (could use a topper). My husband simply took the small bed and all is well. Safe surroundings. No pub noise at all. Parking was no problem. Cute place. Enjoy.

A lovely apartment with beautiful scenery on the lough.I have nothing negative about this place and would highly recommend it to anyone looking quality accommodation, we even prefer it now more than the killyhevlin lodges.We have stayed in a few places now in enniskillen and this might just be our favorite yet.Thanks Gary for letting us stay. Regards Nichola

We felt right at home at Barry’s Place. The unit is perfectly situated in the centre of the village so everything is in walking distance. Lots of pubs, restaurants, shops and historical sites. So glad we stayed in Ennis. We could look out the window at the village - we felt part of it, even when we were inside. Would stay again!

Stephen was a great host – friendly and professional. The place was spotless and exactly what I needed and expected. Everything matched the listing perfectly. I had a comfortable and hassle-free stay. Would definitely book again!

Stayed here with my family of 5 (3 teens, 2 parents). Location was wonderful, house was clean and very comfortable. The place was spacious. Would definitely recommend.

We had a wonderful three-day stay at Mary’s place! The surroundings are beautiful, and the location is convenient with great access to the town. The price was very reasonable for everything that was offered. Even though the weather wasn’t perfect, the hot tub and sauna made our trip so much more enjoyable — they turned rainy days into relaxing afternoons. Sitting by the dock with a cup of hot tea, watching the water, was one of the most peaceful moments of our stay. Thank you, Mary, for providing such a cozy and lovely getaway!

Cormac’s apartment is absolutely beautiful – modern, spacious, and tastefully furnished. We felt right at home from the moment we arrived. It’s the perfect base to explore the stunning area around Doolin, including the Cliffs of Moher and the Burren. You can start the cliff walk just a few minutes from the house or drive to the Cliffs in about 10 minutes. The surrounding landscape is some of the most beautiful we’ve ever seen. Cormac was a fantastic host – very helpful and welcoming throughout our stay. We would’ve loved to stay longer and hope to come back someday!

Michelle’s place was in a great location so close to all the things in the city and just outside! We enjoyed the modern decor and the patio outside was so cute! We stayed over St Patrick’s day, so it was a bit loud outside at times, but, the place was comfy and suited our family of 5 adults well. Would book again on a return trip.

What a fabulous place to stay and use as a base for the Ennis area. Angele was the perfect host providing detailed and helpful information and recommendations. The 2-bedroom unit was immaculately clean, and stylishly furnished. Would not hesitate to stay here again ... 10/10

Me, my cousin and his two young sons stayed at Gail and Antoine's house in Garmna, right in the middle of the islands in Connemara. We had a warm welcome from the first day not only from Gail and Antoine but also from their neighbors. The house was veryclean, comfortable and beautifully furnished. The bedrooms were to a high standard and the place was veryconvenient for the fishery, our reason for coming. Antoine was extremely generous with his time and advice. We loved the pool table in the evening. The atmosphere was always relaxed and welcoming. I highly recommend anyone who would like a trulyIrish experience in beautiful Connemara. We will undoubtedly be back!

"Had a wonderful stay! The accommodation was very clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. The host was friendly and helpful, making everything easy. Highly recommended — would definitely stay again!"

Perfect location if you want to easily reach Galway. Pauline paid great attention to every detail, and the apartment was very clean. Strongly recommended!

This apartment is tucked away in a quiet corner in a private area just off the quayside and is perfect for anyone looking for a cosy getaway. This is was our second stay at Annette’s apartment and was every bit as good as the first. Loved the improvement to the hallway with the framed prints. The apartment was warm and welcoming and everything was in good working order and well appointed. Communication was excellent with the hosts and would highly recommend this apartment, especially if attending a wedding in The Lodge, as it’s only a short walk away.
