Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Galway

We loved staying at Ocean Crest - the property was beautiful! Ocean and sunset views from the living area. A short and picturesque walk to the village, but far enough away that it was quiet and peaceful even during the busy Folk Festival. It was a serene retreat and we would love to come back someday!

Tom Jacks is in a stunning, peaceful, location with beautiful coastal views. We even spotted Dolphins, whilst eating breakfast outside! The decking area is spacious and comfortable outdoor furniture is provided,along with a BBQ. Inside, the house is very clean and quite spacious, with a log burner for cosy evenings. (Plenty of logs provided) The house is well situated for drives to the local beaches and surrounding area. Letterfrack has a good supermarket. We wouldn’t hesitate in returning in the future.

What a beautiful home, and it truly felt like home. The views are absolutely stunning—imagine seeing a 3,000 year old stone fort while washing dishes and the ever changing colored sea right out the front windows. Bernie is the perfect host and her communication is instant. We hope to return!

Steven's cottage is absolutely beautiful and charming. The cottage was spotlessly clean and every detail is perfect. The setting is peaceful, with only the singing of blackbirds filling the garden. We visited Connemara National Park and Kylemore Abbey, which is a beautiful drive away. We just loved our stay! Thank you so much, Steven!

House is beautiful and very comfortable! All the amenities we need and super clean. The view and surrounding scenery are amazing. We walked 3 1/2 miles to town on Sky road each morning and saw donkeys, Connemara ponies, jack rabbits and pheasants. Wonderful restaurants in town. Great hike up Diamond Hill in nearby National Park and swam in ocean at beautiful Dog’s beach. Amazing place for a relaxing and fun vacation!

We had a really good time at Connie's place. The hut and the garden around are beautiful and Connie is a lovely host. She makes sure you feel home straight away- she even baked delicious cupcakes and put fresh flowers!!!:) In the kitchen you find everything you need and the place is very clean! If you are in the burren area, make sure not to miss this place!!

Our stay was absolutely lovely. The location is remote, yet within 15 minutes of a village with great pubs. The cottage was exactly as described and the views on the walk suggested to us were breathtaking. If you are looking for a peaceful place with excellent hosts, you should book this immediately!

We absolutely loved our stay! John was so helpful and had great communication! We would absolutely stay here again. The view was breathtaking and we had a hard time going to bed because we didn’t want to miss anything. Highly recommend!

We had a great stay at Terry's, who was a super responsive and understanding host. The accommodation is perfect, simple and functional with a magnificent view of the sea. What a privilege to live in a place like this. Terry and his wife are charming, discreet and attentive. We will be happy to come back.

The location was in the heart of pubs and restaurants. Easy and convenient parking garage. The apartment was perfect and had everything I needed for a 3 day stay in Galway. The area is noisy due to all of the pubs and restaurants but ear plays were offered and I used them except for the night I was out making noise as well!

Olivia sent us pictures of the house the day before arrival and exact explanations of how to find the house, where the key box is and so on. When we arrived, we were totally thrilled with the apartment from the first moment, it was furnished exactly as described. Very nice, kitchen, bathroom and bedroom happened to be exactly like our furnishing style at home. This immediately gave us a "feeling of home". The apartment was above average well equipped. There were several varieties of tea, shower gels, shampoo, conditioner - hand soap from Rituals, there were adapter plugs & hairspray, in addition a nice cozy wool blanket. We got to know Olivia personally on the day of departure and had a very pleasant and pleasant conversation with her. We would recommend the apartment and Olivia as a landlady at any time. We really enjoyed our time there.

This place looked just like the pictures - actually it was bigger than we expected!! Beautiful location, super clean. Full kitchen was perfect for any kind of cooking we wanted to do. Absolutely lovely and would return!!

a lovely apartment with everything you might need. Slept very well with the firm matress and quality bedlinen. Good shower pressure and lots of towels in bathroom. The pizza downstairs in the bar was so good that we had it 2 nights in a row. Really friendly and helpful staff in the bar who gave us plenty of recommendations for the area. The pub was full each night but we didn't have any issues with sound or noise from below. Highly recommend staying here.

We had such a great time staying at the Apothecary, the place was absolutely spot on. There are great places to explore that are essentially right on your doorstep, plenty of walking routes and nice scenery. Philip had some great recommendations for us and was very friendly. We would definitely come back again.

Very nice country house. Not far from Galway. The host is really kind.

Irish hospitality at its best. Our hosts were lovely, bringing us freshly laid eggs most days and usually around at the end of the day for a friendly chat. The location was great, we loved our evening strolls along the beach. We hope to return someday.

We had an amazing stay! The place was just as described; was very neat and clean and Gerard provided clear instructions for how things worked (shower, stove, etc). It had everything we needed for our week long stay. The location was perfect, right in the center of everything local that you could want to do and an easy walk to get on buses or trains to take longer trips / things to do. Gerard was such a great host! He had a straightforward and clear check-in process, provided some great recommendations for us, checked in just often enough to be sure we had what we needed, and was flexible on some check out options we might need. Would definitely recommend Gerard and this location. We'd book here again if we are ever needing to stay near Galway.

Marion was a lovely and attentive host. She gave us very clear instructions on how to find her place. She checked in on us throughout our stay to make sure we were doing ok. Her hideaway is very peaceful and situated in a great place for exploring the west coast of Ireland. We had a great time and would love to return!

Jackie’s place was lovely and spotlessly clean! We didn’t need to contact Jackie much because everything was very straightforward and informative! The position of the home couldn’t be better for the places we wanted to visit especially Galway! We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jackie’s place to anyone. Thank you Jackie!

Catriona was very proactive and friendly during our stay. She provided us with numerous suggestions for local activities and places to visit. The house itself is a charming little gem—simple yet delightful—with all the essentials. The fireplace next to the window, along with the sofa, creates a cosy spot to relax, especially on rainy evenings. Unfortunately, our stay was too short, but I hope to come back again and fully relax as we did! We loved it!

We had a lovely comfortable stay at Seamus’s . Beautiful peaceful location with a very friendly welcoming host.

Perfect place to stay in Galway! The location was great! The apartment was equipped with everything we needed and so much closet space. An updated kitchen and bathroom with high end finishes and appliances made living there a breeze. I can’t recommend this place enough! We hope to be back some day!

This was such a quaint and charming apartment in a very quiet area just a few minutes walk from all the action. Could not have asked for a better location! Walkable from the rail/bus station and everywhere else you want to go. Very cute place, has everything you need. The Hooked restaurant next door was also wonderful and convenient (they do take-away too). Thanks so much Ollie and Mary for the excellent stay :)

We had a great stay in peaceful surroundings. Julie was friendly and welcoming and the place had everything we needed. Special thanks for my mum’s birthday treats! We would recommend staying here.
