The Studio On The Square
La météo était mauvaise, et notre hÎte nous a avertit que le logement était libre une heure plus tÎt. Un grand merci à lui pour ce suivi et l'accueil. Le studio est paisible, trÚs proche des restaurants et commerces. Le bourg de Clifden est à proximité (30 mn de voiture) de nombreuses attractivités touristiques. La découverte du Connemara en séjournant à Clifden a été trÚs agréable.

The Orchard - Refurbed Studio w views of Clew Bay
Patricia war ein sehr freundlicher und hilfsbereite Gastgeberin. Das Studio ist geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Die Betten waren sehr gut. Patricia hatte uns sehr viele nĂŒtzliche Tipps fĂŒr AusflĂŒge und Restaurants in Westport gegeben. Wir fanden dort gute Restaurants und eines der besten irischen Pubs.

Galway city centre fabulous 2 bedroom apartment
with Marie's instructions, the location was easy to find. it's very close to the city center, so there was plenty to do. it's a very cute apartment and I would definitely recommend it.

Spectacular apartment in Clifden Seaview Connemara
A box of chocolates and bottle of Baileys greeted us upon arrival at the exceptionally clean and well appointed apartment. Spacious kitchen, living room and stone walled patio made our 2 couple stay delightful. The view of Clifden Bay was serene and private. Lounging on the patio in the Irish sun with a cold Guinness made it hard to leave at times! SuperValu grocery, deli, bakery and wine, beer and spirits a 2 minute walk away. And downtown with a wide selection of shops, pubs and restaurants only 3 walkable minutes nearby as well. Great location to visit Kylemore Abbey, Connemara National Park, Sky Roadand the charming coastal village of Roundstone. Host, Liz, endlessly attentive and available. So fortunate to have such a caring soul as part of our visit! 5+ đ s

The Amazing Panoramic Penthouse- Free Parking-
Really great spot - an easy walk to the Latin Quarter, the Westend, and the boarding location for ferries to the Aran Islands. The apartment is beautiful- clean, stylishly decorated, with great views of the water. Getting in involves a bit of a scavenger hunt and a series of codes, but Martin sent excellent instructions that made it easy. Highly recommend!

Luxury Galway City Penthouse
We loved our stay in Galway! The apartment had unbelievable views and within walking distance to many pubs and restaurants. Highly recommended!

Furbo Suite, at the Granary Suites
Irene was a fabulous host. Communicated ahead of our arrival and gave great recommendations for Galway as well as our next stop of Dingle. The apartment was spacious and extremely clean. The West End location was perfect. Several pubs, restaurants, coffee shops as well as nightlife a stones throw away. Short walk to Eyre Square, the Latin Quarter and Woodquay. Would recommend a drink at Carrol's Bar just a couple doors down. Traditional Irish music in the front of the pub or more lively outside in the back at the beer garden, "Caravan Club". Would definitely stay at Irene's again.

Lovely sea side apartment in Louisburgh
Irish hospitality at its best. Our hosts were lovely, bringing us freshly laid eggs most days and usually around at the end of the day for a friendly chat. The location was great, we loved our evening strolls along the beach. We hope to return someday.

Big Lovely House with Perfect City Centre Location
Loved staying here for a family wedding. Great location near everything but a couple of blocks away from the crowds. Plenty of room for the 6 of us. I had one question about check in (due to my careless reading of the check-in information and she was immediately available. Highly recommend!

A luxurious and stunning contemporary home
Highly recommend this beautiful house Lorna and Dave were fantastic hosts. The cleanest house we have ever stayed in. Our grandson had a great time with a full play room of toys and plenty of space to play outside. A wonderful stay. We would love to return.

Cong Holiday Let
We were 3 adult couples touring Ireland. The place is lovely with the river running next to the house. Hugh was there to meet us with instructions and recommendations and Anne had left us some homemade brown bread . Itâs only a couple of minutes walking distance from the picturesque Cong village with lovely pubs and music on Thursdays to Sundays. Some lovely walks as well. Overall a great find and would defiantly stay again if in the area. The film The Quiet Man with John Wayne was filmed in Cong in 1951 so worth a watch before you go or you can watch on the DVD provided at the house.

Seafront Cottage in Kinvara village
Had a fantastic stay in Sinead's place. A home from home in the centre of everything with beautiful sea views. Sinead is a great host. Looking forward to our next visit!

Relax in our tranquil seaside village haven
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Geraldine's beautiful seaside retreat and can't say enough positive things about her helpfulness throughout the week. The house is in a quaint location, great for exploring the southwest country. We enjoyed coffee each morning in the sunroom with a beautiful ocean view that couldn't even be ruined by the wild wind and rain. We struggled with operating some areas of the house (showers, thermostat), but Geraldine was right there to respond immediately and help us figure it all out. Please note this is not due to issues with the home, but us being American and unfamiliar. If you stay here to see the Cliffs of Moher, I would strongly encourage that you go south to the Kilkee Cliffs and Bridges of Ross. We found them even more mesmerizing and far less touristy.

The Old Dispensary Labasheeda Cosy modern cottage
We stayed for one night at Cathyâs 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!

Red Island House, on the shore of Lough Mask
Eine traumhafte Lage mit Ausblick in jede Himmelsrichtung, jeweils ganz besonders und dadurch nie langweilig. Ein guter Startpunkt fĂŒr etliche (Wander-) Touren. Auch hierzu Tipps erhalten. Sonne (wenn Sie denn scheint) von morgens bis abends am bzw im Haus. Wir haben bereits nach wenigen Tagen entschieden, dass wir nĂ€chstes Jahr wieder kommen wollen. Zum erholen genieĂen und abschalten eine der besten UnterkĂŒnfte die ich kenne. Und keine Angst vor der Zufahrt, ist wirklich absolut machbar und fordert weder ein besonderes Auto noch einen besonderen Fahrer.

Atlantic Apartment Connemara

Waterfront condo accommodation

Quay-side luxury sea-view apartment, Kinvara
Lovely place a few minutes walk to a handful of great pubs and restaurants. Apartment was clean and well stocked with extra towels, etc. Great communication from Fiona prior to our stay which included lots of useful suggestions on things to do and places to see in the area.

Harbour View
Excellent location. Nice unit with a view of the harbor. Clean, modern and pretty. Recommend!

Harbour Mill Westport apartment.
We had a very enjoyable stay at Catherine's apartment, which was very comfortable, nicely laid out, very well equipped and very spacious. It's located on the top floor, at the rear of the building, which makes it very quiet and peaceful. Another positive is the fact that there is a parking space in the building as on-street parking outside always seemed to be full. It's in a great location, with bars, restaurants etc., in walking distance and there's even a convenience store nearby. We also found the location to be very convenient for access to the various attractions of the area. Overall, we were very pleased to have found this property and would have no hesitation in recommending it to others.

Guest Wing at Kylemore house
We had a wonderful couple of days at Janet's apartment. very clean, private and perfectly situated in beautiful surroundings. Would highly recommend and we will be back sometime in the future.

No 4 The Mill Apartments
Amazing stay!!! Private, on the water, amazing views, quiet, spacious, fantastic hosts oh I don't even know where to stop with all the positive! Walk to Ashford Castle which we did, and into the village of Cong, oh what a gem this house, nobody else around you yet so close to all. Thank you for a fantastic stay, I will be back!!!!

Beautiful seaview 2 bed apartment in Salthill.
With our two small children (2.5 and 4 years old) we spent a longer stay in Mary's flat and would have loved to stay even longer! The location of the flat is perfect and offers an incredible amount within walking distance: the sea, many restaurants, pubs and shops are just around the corner. The view of the sea from the living room is fantastic... Check in and communication were also smooth and Mary responded to questions immediately. We will have fond memories of our time in Salthill...

POND VIEW The Harbour Mill Westport Quay
Lovely apartment, great host, excellent location. Everything was perfect.

Seaside Views in the Heart of Roundstone Village
Had such a great time in Anna & Christineâs lovely apartment. Itâs perfectly located in such a beautiful village. They communicated promptly and clearly and their place had everything we needed. Highly recommend this cosy little spot (and the chowder in OâDowds đ).
