Family-friendly holiday rentals in Cork

We absolutely loved this cozy, impeccably clean house—so much so, we didn’t want to leave! My favorite part was enjoying coffee each morning with the beautiful view. The extra living space gave our family room to spread out, and the sinks in each bedroom were a great touch for keeping things organized. The beds and towels were soft and comfy, and we were pleasantly surprised by the brand-new washer and dryer (with detergent!). My kids loved exploring the area and heading to the beach. There’s a cute café down the road and a nice pub in town—just be aware that places close early, so plan meals ahead. We didn’t use the hot tub since it seemed a bit tricky to figure out, but overall, this was one of our favorite Airbnb stays!

We had a wonderful stay here, surrounded with hills and a quick drive to many little walks, the coast, interesting towns and about 1.5h from areas further afield such as the Ring of Kerry or Mizzen Head. The space itself is comfortable and clean, and was perfect for our visit (us + 2 young kids + 2 elderly parents) — being able to let the kids play outside is a real gift. Hot tub gets nice and hot and was a great treat to end the day. Thank you Marcella for a wonderful stay, and for being so responsive and helping us with a few of the bits we needed / had forgotten at home! Xx

We had two great nights in a bell tent. Goleen is out of this world beautiful. Incredibly peaceful. Shower and toilet facilities were immaculately clean

We had two families (9 people) staying for a special occasion. Ages from 12 to 90. The ground floor bedroom with balcony is stunning in the evening. There is so much outdoor space, the kids loved the little football pitch. The location was great, walking distance to the town, the beach and pitch & putt. We had a few queries coming up to the stay and during and all were responded to. We were very lucky to have stayed here.

We are just back from our West Cork holiday, and what a holiday! Such a beautiful part of the world. We really enjoyed staying at Patti and Chris’s lovely little guesthouse. A perfect ‘away from it all’ experience. Waking up to birdsong and peaceful views was magical. To top it off we arranged to have the most de-licious 5 ⭐ meal for our last evening. Made by Chris a (chef) and provided by Patti with delicious veg and salad from their garden! Fabulous hosts who couldn’t have been more accommodating 💚. Thank you Patti and Chris 🍀

We loved it! It was in an amazing location, quite close to Killarney town and the house itself was amazing and spacious. To top it off John was great to deal with

We loved our stay ,it felt like home,we will deffo be back.The home was spacious,and very clean,the hot tub was a real bonus after a long drive,and to play a little music before bedtime was priceless.The doggies also were welcomed which we appreciated. The only downside we would have liked to stay longer🤸‍♀️😊🐕🐕🐕

Great house. Close to the beach and the town of Dingle. Very satisfied with our stay.

Our 3 night stay was perfect. The cottage is very comfortable, cozy, quiet and the decor is very nice, chosen with great taste. Mathieu is discreet but very responsive to our messages. Thanks to him for his trust. We recommend this beautiful place with great pleasure.

Martin and Bridgette were excellent hosts. 3 things we look for are cleanliness, comfort and quiet. We got these in abundance. The view from the house was stunning and seeing all the deer in the garden was very special. Good base for touring the penninsulas with great food in town. I highly recommend if you want to find peace and serenity. Thank you, Martin and Bridgette for being so kind, responsive and helpful. XXX

Great place to stay for the night!

Fabulous, quirky stay up the mountains. Our two dogs loved it. So beautifully decored and the horse trailer toilet was so cool. Great place to sit by the fire and chat. Also beautiful walks very close by. Thanks so much. We will be back

Rose cottage is designed really well, combines an architectural sympathy with the surrounding landscape whilst the simplicity of the uncluttered interior make for very comfortable living.

I have stayed in this cottage quite a few times over the years - and I always enjoy it immensely. The cottage is lovely, decorated in a style that suits its age, and set in the most stunning scenery. It feels as though you're in the middle of nowhere - it is so quiet the deer come right up to the patch of grass in front of the house in the evenings and there are so many different birds it's almost like an orchestra - but you're definitely not: There are two good restaurants in the area, a nice pub near a harbour, a lunchroom in gorgeous gardens and a very well stocked shop-and-tearoom only a 20 minute drive away. So yes, I will come again!

We has an unforgettable stay. We really appreciate getting to know Joe and his parents Billy and Rita. Billy was especially personable with our kids and showed us around the surrounding farm. This place was also a nice, quiet getaway for our family as we adjusted to time zones from over seas. We loved the green pastures quiet evenings.

Beautiful cottage just outside Kenmare town. Anne's cottage is situated on farmland which makes it extra special for the kids who got to see Calves, tractors and play with the dog. Anne is a fantastic host and was always on hand when we had a query. She also brought a lovely fresh sponge cake on our second day which was a lovely touch. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to explore Kenmare, set a base for the beara way or anyone travelling around South Kerry that wants to have a cosy place to call home for there trip.

We have fallen in love with Julie’s beautiful studio. Everything about the home is gorgeous, the house is so equipped, there are so many amenities and the pool and garden are fantastic. It’s definitely our favourite Airbnb that we’ve been to and we’ll definitely come back.

We had an absolutely fantastic time here. Would highly recommend. The house was spotless, very well kept. The beds were all extremely comfortable, all with fresh linen. The view was amazing. The house is right on the water. The gardens and estate was an excellent place to go for a wander and explore. Paul was an excellent host. We cant wait to come back again

We spent an absolutely wonderful week in Julie‘s cottage. The cottage was so perfect. Everything was in place to make you feel right at home. It’s a stunning location with its own beautiful garden and pool, and very peaceful. Great area for walking and terrific restaurants nearby. Julie is a superb host and her caretaker was on hand and very helpful if we needed anything. But we wanted for nothing! Thank you again Julie for sharing your beautiful home with us. We cannot wait to come again.

This was a great Airbnb. Location about 1 mile outside of Killarney. Comfortable clean big. Airbnb is part of the Glen Eagle apartments behind the Brehon Hotel. You have to check in at the GlenEagle hotel which is next to Brehon. Kind of confusing, but we figured it out.

It was really a nice stay . really nice and clean property in a very convenient location.

Lovely spacious and very clean house on a peaceful island in county cork. We spent 5 nights here for my mother in law’s birthday. Well located to explore the surrounding beaches, bays, islands and countryside. Unfortunately our fridge broke but the team were very quick to create solutions and then fix it. Very good communication from the Inish Beg team. Thank you

Fabulous place to stay, lots to see and do on the estate. We wished we had booked for longer and will definitely try and visit again.

We had such a gorgeous stay. The cottage was cosy and well equipped, the little private outside seating area was lovely. The pool was a big hit with the kids and it was great to have the whole thing to ourselves for the entire hour. We had many gorgeous walks in the grounds, my 10 year old daughter loved the fairy walk. Paul was very friendly and helpful, a perfect host. A truly magical place.
