Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Ireland

Beautiful home the views are outstanding especially if the sun is out. David was great we had trouble connecting to the WiFi as my son had accidentally turned off a plug in a bedroom this could have been a nightmare (can you imagine a 9year old with no WiFi) David called my straight away and explained what to do to fix it. Rossnowlagh beach is close and also the smugglers creek inn was a highlight for dinner if i get the chance il definitely be back.

Fiona’s place was absolutely perfect: the location, the house itself, the views, the unexpected walkability with a restaurant, *two* beaches, food trucks and saunas all within reach. This was our first overseas trip with our young daughter and I honestly couldn’t dream of a better first stop to kick it off. We added an extra day and I’m so glad we did! Thank you, Fiona and family.

Hi Louise, thanks again for everything at the house this week. Yours and Michael’s place is very special, and we all enjoyed the animals and garden as much as we had hoped. Good luck with all you are doing here!

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!

What a great stay at a beautifully well appointed home. Plenty of space and lots nice touches to make you feel welcome. Siobhan was awesome and so friendly. Her communication was quick and timely. Highly recommend this place to stay.

The boathouse is even better than you think it will be. Beautifully decorated, with lovely light, full of thoughtful touches. The views are wonderful. We loved the outdoor seating and the bench up on the hill. The photos of the scenery are not just of the surrounding area, this is the land that Amiee and Joe maintain. One of the best parts of our holiday was walking the trails. The general area is also fantastic and there's lots to do. Amiee and Joe are very welcoming and gave us lots of tips. If you want a relaxing place to stay that's immersed in nature while also feeling luxurious, don't hesitate. A truly special place.

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!

Overall the property was great. We stayed for 4 nights. It was spacious and clean. The bathrooms were great, with rain showers in two and a rolltop bath in the third. The four poster bed was very comfortable. There is a private hot tub along a little path (so bring flip flops). The location was perfect with great walks straight from the door. The host was very responsive. There was a problem with the fan which keeps the bugs off the hot tub while we were there, but the host got an electrician out to look at it the same day. The only downsides were the lack of hob and oven in the kitchen, but this is made clear in the listing. We ate out in the evenings, twice at the Wicklow Heather and twice at Casey’s in the Glendalough Hotel. Both were good and Casey’s is walking distance from the property. Would definitely recommend the property!

Our stay here was head and shoulders above any place we have stayed in before. The hosts were genuine in their welcome. The place spotless and had all we needed. It is truly hard to fault. Incredibly good value compared to other places in the area

Ray and Aisling were wonderful hosts. The cottage was not only beautifully furnished but also spotlessly clean. It had everything we needed, and the kitchen was very well equipped. For us, the location was perfect - quiet and in less than 10 minutes to Arhenry, with supermarkets and restaurants close by. Highly recommended!

Herbert was a wonderful host. Place was beautiful.

Our stay at the pod was everything we hoped it would be as a family traveling with a 4-year-old. The pod was cute and comfortable. The location is wonderful for getting to Cliffs of Moher and Lahinch Beach. Restaurants were close by too and we did take out one of the two nights we stayed there so we could take advantage of the surroundings with the picnic table. From the picnic table, we saw horses, sheep and tractors from afar. The hosts were friendly and very helpful. Would definitely recommend as a unique way to experience the area!

What delightful hosts are Irene and David! Their home is fascinating and full of their family history and charm. The apartment was spacious and had everything we needed including a lovely view out of every window. Thanks for lovely unforgettable experience.

Mary was a true delight and the space was ideal for travellers. All the comforts of home and extremely comfortable. Highly recommend!

myself and my husband stayed in Gérards place for 4 nights. It was our 25th wedding anniversary and on arrival Gérard had a lovely card and some lovely cake and bottles of local beer left out for us, this was such a thoughtful gesture and was so much appreciated. Gérard is such a lovely person, a pure gentle man and was always there to help or advise us whenever needed. He brought us to the local bar the first night and we got to meet the lovely friendly locals and my husband got to play a few games of pool with them. Gérards place is such a very special place, the views and scenery is absolutely spectacular, we loved every minute of it and it had everything we needed. We went hiking in the Mcgillicuddy Reeks, went to some of the gorgeous beaches and done a lot of sight seeing. There was always plenty to do. One of the highlights for us was meeting Gérards 2 border collies and got to see them work which was amazing. I highly recommend Gérards place, we will be back again.❤️

Eileen's place was beautifully and the view gorgeous. We returned to Clifden after 30 years and it's still just as stunning. We would definitely recommend Eileen's place. It's walkable into Clifden which has some great restaurants. Thank you for a wonderful stay. xx

The place was so beautiful and cozy for 2 people. Felt at home instantly. Especially loved the shower 😀 Looked exactly like in the pictures and amazing views to relax, sip coffee and read book. Kenmare and other attractions also nearby. Miranda was very helpful and an amazing host. Would definitely come back!!

An excellent stay! This was a great home base while visiting the Skelligs - a quiet spot but still an easy walk into Cahersiveen, and a short drive to Portmagee where most of the boats leave from. The space was very clean and just as described. The unit is downstairs from a larger home, but felt fully separate and I didn’t hear a peep from anyone else in the building. Having both laundry and the kitchen was convenient - both worked well and were nicely stocked. John was also quickly responsive to any questions. Overall, no complaints at all and highly recommend a stay here if in the area!

Mary was so lovely and welcoming. She was easily contactable and so warm and friendly. We were keen to have a bit of privacy and she left us to our own devices to enjoy the peaceful surroundings. The location of the apartment is really spectacular. Sitting in the hot tub looking out on the lake was a real highlight of the trip.

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!

Deborah was amazing! Upon arrival we were met with her lovely golden retrievers. Her cottage and farm were cozy and had plenty to offer as an early night in. We got to feed her horse, ponies, and pigs and were even allowed to hunt fresh eggs in the mornings. Deborah and her family are lovely hosts and we will definitely be back at some point. Highly recommend Deborah and her animals. We felt like we were Snow White being surrounded by the nature and animals!

Five stars across the board! I loved this Airbnb and would stay here again in a heartbeat. Would recommend to anyone traveling through Ireland and stopping at the Cliffs of Moher.

Staying with Carmel is OG Airbnb, where there is actually a local host not an off-site corporation who owns the property you’re staying in. Carmel was wonderful and so welcoming. I was traveling alone and I really appreciate when it feels like I could reach out to the host if I have trouble without being a bother. The place itself is spectacular. They also have an actually stocked kitchen with more than just salt and pepper, which is soooo grand because you don’t have to spend money on an entire bottle of oil or butter or jam for a couple of quick meals. I hope to go back one day!

We absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful rural getaway. The setting is so peaceful and relaxing—surrounded by open countryside, stunning vistas, and that kind of deep quiet you only find in nature. It was the perfect place to slow down and switch off. The room was super comfortable, with everything we needed, and there were some lovely thoughtful touches—like staples in the cupboard and fridge, which made us feel really looked after. The friendly dogs were a highlight—so sweet and full of personality! It really felt like being part of the place. We even got to share a glass of wine with the owners one evening, which made the stay feel all the more welcoming and personal. We only stayed one night and really wished we’d booked two. It’s the kind of place you want to linger in. We’ll definitely be back when we can. If you’re looking for a peaceful, scenic retreat with a warm, down-to-earth vibe—this is it.
