Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Lough Derg

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.

excellent location. check in was seamless. house had all the amenities I needed and more. couldn't fault anything. Will definitely rebook if I need to stay in Loughrea again

We loved Christy’s house. It was exactly as described. The views were stunning & the house was spotlessly clean. We had a minor problem with the hot water on the first morning & Christy got it sorted while we were out during the day which was great. A beautiful house in a wonderful location & a great host we would definitely stay again!

A lovely and cozy house in a peaceful location. We loved the quietness to get away from a busy city environment. Anna was super responsive and the welcome manual was really helpful and clear full with local recommendations. The house itself was clean and just felt really warm and welcoming. A perfect place to unwind and have quality time with the family!

If you want to be in the thick of things in Galway, this is the place for you! We walked right out our door to restaurants, pubs, & shopping! The open market was going on (Saturday) with fare from local vendors … That was so much fun & we were able to purchase several gifts & souvenirs. Our adult children in their mid 20’s & 30’s loved the styling of the place as well as its easy access to nightlife. Martin’s place is very comfortable & nicely furnished & has a great location. Would recommend!

A delightful experience, we stayed in town to visit cousins in the area and see the sights. The stay was short but the house was excellent and Emma was very responsive. Such a nice place, walkable to everything!

We stayed for one night at Cathy’s on our way to the Kilkee Cliffs. The house provided everything that was needed. You can even sit outside and enjoy the courtyard. The environment is pretty quiet and in the direct area there is not much to do. We discovered that many buildings in the village are not inhabited permanently but the village nonetheless appears tidy, friendly and cared for. The small harbour is a perfect stop for biking tourists. The cottage itself is nicely decorated, well equipped and rather stylish. We liked it there. Later we also took the ferry to Tabert. Nice experience!

We stayed here for a few days and it was a great base while in Galway. Would definitely go back. Homely feeling, clean, spacious and comfortable. Fiontán was very helpful and quick to respond if needed. In a private and quiet estate. Would definitely recommend if in the area .

An excellent short stay at Michael and Breda's beautiful and very spacious bungalow in Kinvarra near Galway. Felt at home straightaway and the house had everything we needed. Well equipped kitchen, lovely living space and very comfy bed. The large garden was great to sit in during the rare occasions the sun paid a visit. Excellent as a base for touring Galway and The Burren. Kinvarra is a delightful village on the edge of Galway Bay and had great pubs, a supermarket, plentiful parking and the best Chinese takeaway we've had in a long time! The wider area is stunningly beautiful. Overall, very highly recommended and many thanks to Michael and Breda.

Everything great, accommodation as described and very cozy and lovingly furnished. We felt very comfortable and definitely recommend the cottage.

Traditional thatched roof cottage with lots of charm. Sonia gave us some history of the cottage upon arrival. the setting was beautiful! The roses were divine! The thatched roof was why we booked, the setting was worth the stop, and the water pressure was outstanding, possibly the best in all of Ireland. Sonia is a delightful host and her live of the property shows.

Joyce and Denis are ideal hosts. They exude all the excellent virtues that characterize the best of Irish warmth and hospitality. We greatly benefitted from their depth of knowledge of local history, as well as broader geographical and cultural points of interest. The cottage, and by extention, the village provide an excellent rural retreat. The property was very clean, comfortable and well-equipped, which perfectly suited our two-week stay. We will definitely return.

We had an amazing stay at Rose Cottage! We went as a group of 6 for my stepdads 70th birthday and we couldn't recommend this place enough! The hosts were so friendly and the place was incredible! They had many recommendations and we would definitely come back again in the future. Piper's Inn near by has the best seafood chowder we've had in all of Ireland so far, and the cottage itself was so quaint and lovely! 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for a beautiful place to stay in the Irish countryside!

Orchard Lodge is situated in a quiet woodland area, close to Terryglass, where there is a good eating pub (the Derg Inn). The Lodge has comfortable beds, excellent bathrooms and kitchen, and is tastefully decorated. Aoife is a warm. responsive and friendly host.

Really enjoyed the stay! The views of the lake are amazing. The accommodation was spotless and the homemade bread and scones were a lovely touch. Sitting by the fire in the snug is a must do.

loved our stay at Tracy's. Find it hard to book accommodation that allows pets but Tracy's was perfect, in the perfect setting also. our host was very warm and welcoming, and super friendly. our puppy had a great time playing with tracys pets esp the donkey!! because there was no guests booked in for the following night she let us take our time booking out which was really appreciated. the cottage is very cosy and full of character and charm. Tracy was great at giving us information of local towns, shops, food and things to see and do. Loved our stay and can't wait to get back in the near future

Had a magical stay. So beautiful and relaxing. Everything was as listed. Hosts provided a lovely cheese and meat selection along with all the necessary breakfast items. Within easy reach of Nenagh and Lough Derg. Cannot wait to have another stay.

What a beautiful location and place to stay! We slept wonderfully in this peaceful country retreat. The location is about 1/2way between Dublin and Kylemore Abbey, we used it as a stopover on our way towards Dublin after Kylemore. The value would be really great for a large party, for us there were only 5 so we didn’t even use all the rooms (the kids wanted to sleep together, they were excited for the bunk beds). We wandered around the estate a little and even took a stroll around the Friary ruins in town. There is a playground at the entrance to the estate area that the kids loved. We had a great time with the fire pit in the outside area behind the place. It is a renovated old building so it did have some problems, and our impression was that the hosts are new to this process, but what they lacked in experience they made up for in enthusiasm. Rowan was VERY responsive, and tried his best to resolve any issues quickly. We would stay here again.

This is an amazing place! Travelling from Australia we wanted to experience the Irish countryside. And we were beyond impressed with Carmel’s place. It is secluded, peaceful and beautiful. The little cabin is charming and so well kept. The spa and outdoor area were also stunning. We loved our night at the Strawberry hut. Would recommend to anyone. Carmel was also a wonderful and warm host. We felt very at home. 🩷

Such an amazing experience & stay. It was the highlight of our whole trip & my kids can’t stop telling people about it! Such a beautiful little gem nestled away. It’s like a fairytale & every detail has been thought through! Carmel was an amazing host & we will definitely stay again. Thank you so much!

Fantastic place to stay!! Very peaceful, quiet and relaxing. We didn’t need to contact Tom and Muireann while we stayed here, everything was as expected. On arrival we were greeted with wine, breads, cheese and cold meats, delicious!! The house was comfortably warm and we had fresh dressing gowns and slippers ready for the outdoor jacuzzi. The place was spotless and we have found a hidden gem that we will be back to frequently over the coming years. Thanks to Tom and Muireann for allowing us to stay at their wonderful house over the weekend and we look forward to going back.

Absolutely stunning house in a gorgeous location. Host was fabulous too. Would highly recommend.

4adults,3children aged 4, 12 and 15 - rained every day (a few bright spells in between downpours!) but absolutely fabulous house - a holiday in itself! Spacious, spotless, beautiful views, exceptionally well equipped kitchen (down to dishwasher tablets, ironing board and toys for children - all blowing bubbles, building Lego or reading books instead of on devices - they loved it). Hot tub a lifesaver - small technical problem, sorted immediately by the lovely Teresa & Sandra, always on hand to answer any queries/questions. Beautiful Glin village a few minutes drive away, so stuck for nothing - looking forward to our next visit (with slightly better weather!🤞but it is Irelands green and pleasant land - just love it❤️) Thank you.

If you have a chance to stay with Frances you are so lucky. One of the nicest hosts I’ve met through AirBnB. The house was perfect and spotless. Homemade baked goodies were to die for on arrival. The fire was lighting, the heat was on and the house was so cosy and warm. Beautiful and quiet location in the countryside. We booked Prosecco Painting and it did not disappoint. The snacks and Prosecco was flowing and the 4 of us now see ourselves as budding artists. The hot tub in the evening to relax topped it all off. All the locals we met on a walk were so friendly and helpful. The beds were so comfy. A home away from home. We will definitely cross paths with Frances again. She is just amazing!!!!
