Farmstay holiday rentals in Galway

Our stay at James and Ciara's was just wonderful. As soon as we arrived there were so many thoughtful, luxurious touches that made all the difference after a long day of travel, from lovely smelling diffusers and candles and a roaring fire in the woodburner, to fancy Aesop hand soap and the comfiest pillows and mattress ever. There was also a welcome basket containing some treats such as wine and chocolate and Ciara's incredible homemade Irish soda bread. This is the kind of stuff that really makes a difference when staying in an Airbnb! The place was also spotlessly clean and everything was of very high quality. From the get go their communication was super prompt and friendly, nothing was too much trouble, always offering help, advice and recommendations. J&C are some of the nicest and warmest people you'll ever meet. We also got to meet some of their animals which our daughter LOVED, and the setting and outlook from the cottage is just beautiful. One of the best Airbnbs out there!

Marshall’s place is incredibly beautiful. It was the perfect place for three couple to stay. Marshall met us and gave us a quick tour of the place. She is super nice! Marshall’s place is an easy drive into Galway. I would highly recommend this place.

Very pleasant stay, in a beautiful and peaceful environment. Very small and comfortable accommodation, well renovated, clean , and nicely decorated. Ideally located for visiting the region, close to a beautiful beach, and Connemara Natural Park. Terry was a host who listened to our needs, and the exchange with him was nice and friendly, we really enjoyed his hospitality. In short, a perfect stay, we recommend without hesitation!

This is absolutely the nicest air bnb I’ve ever stayed in. The cottage itself is perfection, furnished beautifully with so many pretty touches. Gabbi has a real talent. And the location, omg, on a goat farm with a sea view. The location is great, a mile or so away from the lovely town of Ballyvaughan. And to make it even more welcoming, Gabbi stocked the fridge with breakfast items, eggs, butter, milk, cheese; even bread and jam. So lovely. I could have stayed forever. Don’t miss this one. And stay a while. We stayed four nights and it wasn’t enough.

We had an excellent experience in familly. Finola was responsive, and made everything easy. I would definitely recommend this place and would be happy to stay here again!

Lucy is the best host I’ve met since I Started with Airbnb in 2013. She offered so much of her valuable local expertise, her home and her baked goods! She met us at the gate upon arrival and was always available to us. I love her farmhouse home: Rustic, smart, green, clean and filled with so many homey touches and cozy accountrements. The gardens and hot houses are bursting with life and some delicious fruits and veggies are available off the bush. A one of kind gem if you like nature and rustic living. Airbnb should feature this home as a prime example of the best types of experiences available on their platform.

A beautiful location and cottage, the wood burner makes it suitable for all weather conditions, and William was kind enough to restock the wood when we ran out. He also offered recommendations for walks and hikes

We loved staying at Triona's cottage. We spent so much time outside, exploring the surroundings. It was great for kids, both our 12 year old and 4 year old were so impressed with it. It was unusually warm when we were here and Triona brought a fan down which made it even more comfortable inside. Definitely recommend, I would love to come back!

We really enjoyed our stay. The cottage very comfortable, clean, warm and well presented and communication was excellent.

Perfect accommodation to be immersed in the Irish countryside. I recommend it.

We had such a lovely stay here! The location is lovely and the house is tucked away so feels very private. The beds were very comfortable me and the house was nicely laid out and well stocked. Aoife was very responsive and helpful and it was great to be met by a real person (Margaret) to let us in and show us around. All in all it was a fab weekend and we thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would love to return again.

the accomodation was absolutely outstanding and very private. The view was absolutely incredible, and Suzanne was friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend staying here.

Nicola’s property was ideal for touring around Connemara. It was very peaceful and scenery was breathtaking. We had a really nice time. The property had all we needed and was spotless. Thanks Nicola

Stunning house with the most amazing views. Bernie and her husband were so helpful and kind. Peaceful location close to a pristine beach. The kids loved all the sheep and horses in the nearby fields. Thank you to Bernie for a lovely relaxing week

Anne’s house was one of our very favorites! So warm and spacious, squeaky clean, well stocked with everything you could possibly need without being cluttered. The photos make the house look a little dark, it isn’t at all- it is light with a cozy feel and nice, comfortable furniture. We thought we could stay forever comfortably enjoying the amazing views. The house is very quiet even in a storm and although we loved seeing the sheep just outside we couldn’t hear them, so very peaceful. The beds were comfortable, plenty of hot water, good flushing toilets, everything was great. Anne made us feel right at home and so welcome. She was so thoughtful and kind, we couldn’t say enough. The walk toward Mount Gable was beautiful and a wonderful recommendation. We would gladly stay here again.

We stayed at the guest house for two nights but I wish we stayed longer! It was such a peaceful little getaway especially after our long days of driving. My three year old absolutely loved checking out the vegetable garden, chickens, and sheep! We cooked dinner one night and enjoyed some wine on the deck and it was magical. HIGHLY recommend this spot.

Marian and Martin were absolutely delightful! They made us feel welcome and honored from the start. They enjoyed getting to know us but also gave us the time to enjoy our vacation. It was the perfect mix! Heidi (the dog) was brilliant! we all wished we could take her home!!!! What a precious addition to our vacation she was!!! HIGHLY recommend this home!!! Beautiful and all that you need for a peaceful fairy tale vacation!!!

We were more than satisfied with the accommodation. We were greeted by horses and the extremely sweet little dog Minnie, and then by delicious scones in the apartment. The area is beautiful and we went on several day trips to Connemara National Park, Burren National Park, the Aran Islands/Cliffs of Moher and Galway. What's more, the area was just perfect for us and the children. My daughters loved feeding the horses and playing with Minnie the dog. Or, if it rains a little, there is additional room for playing, which is equipped with some toys, table tennis, etc. Maura responded quickly to minor problems and helped us out, and was generally very accommodating. If we ever visit Ireland again, we will definitely stop by here again.

Oh absolutely worth the price. We were there at a very special day of the year and got invited to a lovely get together in the evening. Just lovely people.

Location was out of this world. We were very lucky with the weather too. It was one to remember.

If you are planning a trip near Galway, THIS IS THE PLACE TO STAY! Mary is an INCREDIBLE host and made us feel like family visiting while we were there. The homemade scones and goodies were the best we had the whole trip and everything about the cottage was perfect. She has a ton of local recommendations (including tyre repair which we did end up taking advantage of after finding a rock on one of our adventures) and checked in to make sure we were ok and to find out if we needed anything. Even on checkout, she let us wait out the rain so we didn't have to load up the car wet. While the location isn't in Galway itself, it's incredibly peaceful and was a great location for day trips down to Cliffs of Moher/Kilkee Cliffs, the Aran Islands, Cong and areas north of Galway. This was a really accessible homebase for everything, with the advantage of coming home to a peaceful, thatched cottage to relax in. If you see this gem available for your stay, book it. It is PERFECT!

Pat and Mary Angela are marvellous hosts. When we arrived the fires were lit, the table was set and there were gorgeous scones made by Mary Angela. They are both so friendly and gave lots of recommendations of places to visit. Their lovely cottage is perfectly situated for exploring Galway. It is definitely a home from home. My husband and I along with our 3 adult children and 2 Jack Russells had a great time there and we had everything we needed. We also loved Pat and Mary Angela's cafe and bookshop in Oughterard Village. Well worth a visit. Couldn't recommend this cottage highly enough!

What an absolutely beautiful stay! The house is beautiful and on so much stunning land. John personally came down and gave us a little map with all the paths we could walk on the land which was so helpful. It was a good HQ point as we went on a lot of day trips and I could not recommend this cottage more! Can’t wait to come back!

Such a gorgeous unique cottage! It was like being in a different world. If you are considering book this cottage, DO IT! It’s stunning. Our kids absolutely loved it. It has a wonderful feel. What a gem!
