Family-friendly holiday rentals in Bearna

Catherine’s accommodation is extremely homely and in beautiful surroundings. Not too close to the town but not too far either. Catherine is very friendly and welcoming and attentive to her guests. We enjoyed our stay from start to finish, we even stayed an extra night.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Grattan Holiday Apartments, car parking out the back, spacious rooms, well-equipped kitchen and within walking distance to the beach, local pubs and restaurants. It's about a 20 minute walk into Galway city and taxi back is around €10. Highly recommend a stay here. Sean and Cathal are on hand if you need them and will recommend places to visit and eat

Our family loved the cottage. The views and sunsets were just beautiful. It is 2 minutes from Cliffs if Moher and about 8 minutfrom Doolin. It was a nice touch to have breakfast foods for the first morning. The hot tub was an added bonus. We had a great dinner at Russell Seafood and listened to music at McDermotts.

This was our second stay at Mark’s Eden Retreat Cottage. We stayed there last year and loved it so much we came again this year. The size was perfect for a small group of friends on a combined business and leisure trip. We love the spacious kitchen and especially the little fireplace. The surroundings are beautiful and peaceful and just a short trip into town for supplied, pubs, busses, shopping, etc. Last year we used the hottub but this year it was out of service. Mark notified us in advance of this and compensated us for the inconvenience, which I appreciated very much.. Mark is a great communicator! Will stay again. Thank you!

A beautiful building lovingly restored in a great location if you like walks, beautiful countryside while still being near to towns and villages for a nice meal out. John was so helpful and friendly, it just started our break off on the right foot. Ps bring carrots for the donkeys in the paddock next door, the stars of the show

Idyllic spot for a restful holiday in unspoilt nature. Beautiful spacious home, stunning views from all windows, exceptionally confortable beds. Plenty of sofa space and cosy blankets for everyone. We enjoyed reading amd jigsaws by the fire, barbecue dinners on the decking, and relaxining in the jacuzzi in between passing showers. Enjoyed walking to the nearby lakes amd hills, and popping into Cong for afternoon tea and forest walk. Highly recommend this beautiful part of Ireland.

This might’ve been the most beautiful little place I’ve ever booked on Air BnB! It is so pretty and charming and perfectly equipped for a few days of peace and quiet. We came with our dog and were on our honeymoon and this was the most hidden gem we could’ve imagined. And Mandy herself is just so incredibly kind and forthcoming- she even popped round to give us a quiche form when I asked her whether she had one! Really really great host- we will absolutely be back☺️

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.

We spent about 3 weeks touring Scotland and Ireland and this was hands down the cleanest and prettiest flat throughout our stay. It was so close to all the action; however, was far enough away to have some peace. The check directions were smooth. You can hear people outside with the windows open - and sometimes a bit late but it really wasn’t anything that would keep you up at night. Would absolutely stay here again.

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

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

It felt like being home in the Irish countryside. Rita's farmhouse had everything we needed for a long stay including some fresh eggs and other items to get started. It was an absolutely lovely place, and I hope to return!

The accommodation is clean, spacious, bright and well-equipped, a separate building. It has a perfect sense of privacy and silence. Parking is inside the property, almost under the living room window. It was a pleasant surprise that the third person also got a full-size bed (in the description it was a pull-out sofa). The host was helpful and friendly, he was waiting for us upon arrival. We arrived at low tide, it was a special experience to walk on the sand of the sea and the rocks that had become dry. The stairs leading there are a 2-minute walk. All three of us were happy that we chose this accommodation. Thank you!

Gwenn’s place is a peaceful retreat with beautiful views of the countryside and glimpses of the ocean. It has a lot of charm and ambiance and we felt like we were really living in the countryside! Reading in the sun room with the quiet fields beyond was a highlight. The house itself has welcoming, warm rooms and Gwenn is a gracious host. We were only sad we couldn’t stay longer. We would definitely stay again!

Wonderful spacious apartment just outside of Galway. Very easy to get in and out of town on the 409 bus. Valerie is a friendly, very responsive. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here, both exploring the city and doing a day trip to the cliffs of Moher. We would definitely stay here again.

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!

Excellent and comfortable stay.

I stayed here with my family (5 of us total) for two nights and we had a wonderful experience. The hosts were proactive with checkin instructions and always responded super quickly to any of our questions. We loved the coziness of the room decorations. They left us a bottle of wine and some snacks and a handy qr code for house rules and things to do in the area. The place is so spacious and we really enjoyed having a washer and dryer in unit. Only downsides were that the WiFi wasn’t great and you have to park a couple streets over. It was slightly confusing at checkin because we didn’t realize the unit is below (door to the side) the main entrance that is pictured. We would definitely stay again though if we’re ever back in Galway and highly recommend!

Patrick was helpful when the satnav took me to the wrong place (Eircode was also not accurate). He was very welcoming and friendly and was happy to advise on local attractions. Good value for money.

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!

Martin and Mary's Dolphin Watch is a home away from home. Very beautiful setting with views of the wild Atlantic ocean from a warm and cosy setting. The house has everything you'd ever need after an adventure around Connemara. Lovely hosts, we would recommend booking this house and plan on visiting again.

Mary's place was warm and homey. It is an old Irish cottage. She laid out a nice tea with homemade scones and soda bread for our arrival, which were delicious. She also had many things available for personal needs including food items and health and beauty aids. Mary shared advice on things to see and do in the area. We all enjoyed our stay at Bridgie's Cottage.
