Family-friendly holiday rentals in Clifden

Collanmore Island Lodge is unreal, couldn't recommend it more! We had the best stag weekend ever here and Ciaran is a absolute gent. Getting to the island is easy and exciting, beds are comfy and facilities are top notch. Ideal for big family gatherings or any type of West of Ireland getaway. I will be back again for sure, thank you Ciaran and your great team.

The cabin was spotless and the location was spectacular, Mary and her sister Breeta were a pleasure to deal with. The cabin and the views were amazing, we spent it as a couple and with friends but it is ideal for family break also would love to go back highly recommend it.

Gorgeous property, very clean and even bigger in person than in pictures. The sauna is lovely however we weren’t able to use the hot tub as it wouldn’t heat even after a strong fire and a few hours and we weren’t able running out of wood.

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.

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

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.

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.

This was our 2nd stay in Teresa's cottage and was equally as enjoyable as the first. The cottage has everything you could need for your stay. The place was spotless but the highlight is the most comfortable superking bed that ive ever slept in! The views from the cottage are stunning and a 2 minute was takes you to a beautiful beach and walks.

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!

Very comfy stay- Stunning garden and views Milk, eggs and bread a nice touch but didn’t like all the part used food products from previous guests. The craft village just along the road was nice to look around and the cafe there was exceptional. It would be good to know which local bars have live music and dance. We had a great stay and the weather didn’t let us down either. Thank you

John's little cottage was beautiful. The views from the cottage stunning. To be able to hear and see the ocean was so tranquil. John was extremely friendly and came to my rescue as I got a flat tyre . My dog Duke loved the beach he explored it for hours . If you want peace and quiet with the most beautiful views John's cottage is a must . I definitely will be going back again . Tbh I didn't want to leave there.

Gorgeous, cosy cottage close to all that Connemara has to offer. Had everything we needed as a family. Niamh was responsive and friendly throughout. Would happily return!

We felt truly at home here. The peaceful atmosphere gave us space to unwind, connect, and slow down from the usual pace of life. From the cozy corners to the quiet moments, this house helped center us around simple joys and really enjoy our stay on Inishmore.

There could be no better location to stay in Galway than this home. What a gem! Incredible neighborhood, beautiful and clean home, and Francis is incredibly responsive. Our time here was perfect!

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!

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!

Barbara and her husband Sean are a lovely couple and wonderful hosts. They gave us privacy and were available for anything we needed. They have friendly animals and Barbara let us interact with them, feeding Lamb milk, carrots for Bitty the donkey and feed for the alpacas. They also have a very friendly dog and two cats, all outdoor animals. Barbara was just the sweetest host I've met. She gave us fresh scones the day we arrived, farm fresh eggs for breakfast and later, gave us a fresh baked loaf of bread. She recommended some great sites to see and a pub to stop in. Someday I hope to come back so my husband and I can just hang out with Barbara and Sean - truly nice, honest people and fun to be with.

Gabi is so kind and an excellent host. The location is so peaceful and picturesque and the house is absolutely spotless with everything you might need. We both really enjoyed our stay and would absolutely recommend.

We loved staying in The Bakery. The Photos don’t do it justice. Spacious and pristine. Maeve was very quick to respond to any queries we had. She had also left Lindor chocolates, biscuits and fresh flowers for us which was just lovely. Roundstone is so picturesque, with a couple of lovely pubs and the walk on the nearby beaches on Christmas Day morning was just stunning. Would highly recommend staying here.

This was a wonderful place!

This place is magical! Decor is fab and David is a fantastic host and so helpful. I can’t wait to return!
