Cottage 101 - Moyard
A unique coastal property where we enjoyed experiencing the wild landscape of west Ireland

Seaview modern apartment
Super stay at Mary's. Great views and in walking distance of all amenities in Salthill. Apartment has everything a family needs for a break away and was spotless.

Great house in Spanish Point
The house is fabulous ❤️ Comfortably accomodates 8 people. On wild Atlantic way. 3 minute walk to Armada hotel & 5 minute walk tp Spanish point beach. 5 minute drive to local town of Miltown Malbay. Great local cliff walks at other beaches too, White Strand & Quilty, both within 10 minute drive. Great restaurants nearby. Ivan is very friendly. Plenty of towels there & washing machine too - not mentioned on description I dont think. Highly recommend this gem!

Seaside hideaway, Burren views
was a lovely location, sea down the road, village had food, friendly cafes and fun stuff to do. fireplace wasn't working but the landlord told us in advance and the heating was perfectly warm for the weather we had. couldn't have been more helpful and communication was excellent.

Cosy cottage close to the sea and village.
Ed was a most gracious host. Offered recommendations in the area and very quick to respond to any questions. Would love to visit again someday

Loughnafooey Camping
An idyllic camping spot - nice hiking and swimming in this area - located beside a lovely pub with great hospitality - overall a lovely experience

Red Island House, on the shore of Lough Mask
Thanks Patrick. We loved every minute of our stay in your beautiful spacious home in it's stunning setting. Was so nice to get away from the hustle & bustle and catch up with our pals with stunning scenery all around. We really enjoyed the kayaks, Ping Pong, archery & barbecuing in the garden. Hoping to return again :)

Burren beach house, Wild Atlantic Way Ballyvaughan
This beautiful beach house with direct access to a lovely stretch of quiet beach is also just 5 minutes from the village- the best of both worlds! House is large and well stocked with everything you might need. Hosts were really exceptionally accommodating. Dog friendly too! Highly recommended. Thank you Patricia and Tom!

Swimmers Rest 200m from the Beach in Salthill
We really enjoyed the location and being able to walk to the beach as well as coffee shops/restaurants. The place was lovely and nice inside. Our internet wasn't working and wasn't able to be fixed in time for us before we left. All in all a great spot and would stay again.

Cozy seaside home,3 minute walk to village/beach
Excellent place and host

Blue Rock Lecanvey.......with Clew bay views
The accommodation is very well located and good value for money. Emer is very responsive, gave us some great tips.

Ultra-comfortable Connemara House / Sea Views
Very comfortable. Beautiful surroundings and view. Didn’t want to leave.

Atlantic Whisper
Beautiful location with stunning views from every window. House had everything we needed during our stay. Susie was a great host checking in with us but allowed us to do our own thing. Would definitely stay again!

Bernie’s Rest
Bernie's Rest is one of those rare finds that you hesitate to review—not because it doesn't deserve it, but because it so deserves it that you're tempted to keep it a secret. From the moment we arrived, Dominic and Gráinne made us feel completely at home, striking the perfect balance of warm hospitality and genuine care. The cottage itself is a beautifully converted haven perched right on the water’s edge, where nature truly wraps around you. From birds feeding their young to the cheerful cluck of the most charming, friendly chickens you’ll ever meet, the whole setting brings a deep sense of peace and joy. Inside, the home is perfect, a fully equipped kitchen, a fantastic shower, cozy and stylish living area with strong WiFi and a great TV, and the kind of bed that makes you want to sleep in, just a little bit longer. Whether you're doing nothing, or setting out to explore the wild beauty of Loop Head, this place is a couple’s dream getaway. We will be back, thanks Gràinne & Dominic.

Luxury Home next to the Ocean with Jacuzzi Bath
Beautiful Apartment close to the beach, very clean and comfortable

The Bay Coach House, private sea access, sleeps 6
A Truly Exceptional Stay in Murrisk I can’t recommend this property highly enough! From the moment we arrived, it felt like a true home away from home. The host, Lorraine, was incredibly welcoming and thoughtful, going above and beyond to make our stay special. The house itself is beautifully presented, with luxurious bedding and towels, underfloor heating, squeaky clean and everything just right. Upon arrival, we were greeted with a delightful welcome package that included homemade scones and jam, a bottle of wine, water, and even milk—which I had forgotten to pick up at the shop. That kind of thoughtfulness is rare and so appreciated...as we're the sticks for climbing the reek! The location is absolutely stunning, with breathtaking views of Clew Bay. It’s peaceful, serene, and only a short distance from Westport. I’ve stayed in many Airbnbs over the years, but this one truly stands out for its warmth and exceptional hospitality of Lorraine. We loved our stay and will be back!

Sruthán Pier House
Barbara was a great host. The house was perfect come rain or shine. The Spar shop in Carraroe is only 5 minutes away and was as good as any medium sized supermarket with great choice. Don’t miss the Realt pub if you want a good pint of Guinness

Berrylodge Country House Spanish Point Clare
We had a great stay in Berry Lodge. Perfect for a a large family gathering. So much space. Great to be able to bring the dog too. David was very helpful and responsive when needed. So close to the beach in Spanish point and a great location to explore Clare. Will be back again

Bayview Penthouse in Salthill
we had a to leave a day early but would have loved to have finished my stay. it was so relaxing

Rockfield Cottage
We were two families staying in the house and were very comfortable. The house is very spacious, very clean and beautifully decorated. Kinvara is a beautiful town and the nearby surroundings had so much to do! Traught beach was especially lovely where we went for a dip and a sauna. We recommend the place whole heartedly and hope to have the fortune to stay here again in the future!

Beautiful spacious Farmhouse with stunning views
Max and Beatrice have a beautiful cottage home. It was the perfect place for our family of 11 to be…ages 2-66. We truly made some incredible memories. Max had great recommendations for a cute restaurant down the road… We fell in love with everyone’s hospitality the country side!

3 Bedroom Penthouse with Seaview
John was brilliant with all the relevant information for our stay needed. The apartment is absolutely stunning, we were taken back when we first walked in. Great area with stunning views of Galway bay. We will be back
