Family-friendly holiday rentals in Clifden

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.

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.

Booking was a breeze. Contacted the hosts beforehand and they were extremely helpful in narrowing down a date and a check-in time. When we arrived, Dermot was there to greet us and showed us to our place of stay. He made sure that we felt welcomed and if we needed anything at all, not to be afraid to give him a shout. Dermot helped us with organising a take-away and also with setting up the fire and heater. Area was beautiful and peaceful with stunning views of the Ox Mountains range. The barn was far bigger than I expected, with lots of room and everything you could need. Overall, was a very enjoyable experience and would highly recommend it.

As advertised. We had a nice relaxing stay. If you’re looking to unplug for a weekend in a rural area , in a rustic cabin, this is for you. It is not a hotel but glamping but pictures were accurate. Communication was great but be aware no wi fi and cell service didn’t work for us. Hunter the dog guided us on a nice nature walk.

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.

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

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.

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

Lovely cottage under Minaun cliffs with fabulous views looking back over Keel beach from the kitchen table. The patio and garden area are the perfect place for a bit of outdoor dining. The cottage had everything you need. Highly recommended.

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!

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!

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.

A beautiful peaceful location located in very close proximity to Cong village. Sinead is a very responsive host and I have no hesitation in recommending The Loft.

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.

This was a wonderful place!

My husband and I took our 3 children with us to site see all over Ireland and this cottage was absolutely wonderful. We needed something that could help accommodate our youngest at 2 years old, and our oldest at 12 years old. Not only was the cottage beautiful, but it was well equipped with toys, books, movies, pack n play, high chair, toddler plates, and a trampoline for the older kids. Fiona and her family were very kind and respectful to our privacy while still providing social interaction when we saw each other. Fiona provided great recommendations for bars, activities, etc. It was a great location to enjoy the peace and quiet, while still be close great sights and shopping, i.e. Galway, Aillweee Caves, and Cliffs of Moher.

It has been a wonderful stay. Clean,beautiful view,loads of privacy and two great welcoming dogs. Gerry gave us a warm welcome and explained everything. Really took the time. I recommand this air bnb. Everything is there. Close to Corofin where there’s a shop and a fantastic place to drink coffee and are having the best cinnamon buns I’ve ever tasted. Close to the Burren information centre. Close to Ennistymon etc. And after being around all day and coming back to farm there was calmness and peace.

Anne's place was the perfect place to wind down after exploring Ireland. Very secluded, serene, and spacious. Beds were comfortable and was grateful for the amenities prepared to make breakfast. We thoroughly enjoyed the fireplace on chiller nights... Had a couple of friendly visitors from neighboring farms. Place was a perfect mix of traditional and modern accommodations. Would not think twice about booking again!
