Family-friendly holiday rentals in Ulster

The place was spotless and incredibly clean, making it feel comfortable and inviting. The attention to detail really stood out, and it was clear the host cares about providing a top-notch experience. The place exceeded my expectations in every way – it was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. The host was welcoming and responsive, ensuring everything went smoothly from check-in to check-out. The location was perfect, and I truly felt at home during my stay. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great experience and would love to stay here again in the future!

A beautiful cabin, in a peaceful surrounding. Facilities were great, please was very clean. Great instructions and local recommendations from host. Very pet friendly. Worth every penny. We would highly recommend this cabin for a peaceful, restful break.

Great host. Quiet setting but nearest town Balliborough poor for evening restaurants. From description we thought kayak n paddle boards came with chalet - had to book but little available . Hot tub great . All in all we would highly recommended it .

An excellent cottage and location for a family get-away. The cottage has a wonderful view and all of the comforts necessary for a restful break. For us, the hot-tub really made the place stand out.

We had a truly wonderful stay at this charming cottage. The location is absolutely perfect—peaceful, quiet, and surrounded by beautiful countryside. It was the ideal spot to relax and unwind, with nature right at our doorstep. The cottage itself was cozy, clean, and thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed. It felt like a real home away from home. Our host Mairead was fantastic— She made sure we had everything we needed and had the turf fire lit on our arrival. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. Highly recommended for anyone looking to experience the beauty and tranquility of Donegal!

My husband and I absolutely loved staying here!! It was just what we needed during our 6 day road trip around Ireland! The jacuzzi was a huge plus for us! We would definitely return if we’re ever back in Ireland!!

Everything was perfect, nice jacuzzi, very spacious house, everything what you need to stay included (pans, pots, cups..), very clean inside. One thing what wasn’t perfect was smell from cows farm which is very close to house (not whole day, just from time to time), if somebody don’t have a problem with that and like “country side vibes) I’ll say its 10/10 👍

This was a really smooth airbnb experience - Janet was very good at communicating, everything was pristine when we arrived and there were lots of little things extra that really showed Janet has put alot of effort into making the experience top class. As the weather was not so good on one of the days we spent most of it in the hot tub !! - this is a great option and perfect for when we arrived also. The location is perfect for trips around the lough and we all had a great time. Thanks to Janet for making it very cosy and amenable.

We had a very enjoyable stay in the very unusual Round House! As others have noted this is not your typical dwelling and for an Airbnb stay it makes for a great stay. The house is exactly as pictured in the ad. Old, seventies style, quirky, homely, comfortable and with all the essentials you'll need for a fun get away. And of course the views are stunning. We brought our own folding camp chairs and there's plenty of room to sit on the circular concrete walkway around the house itself to take in the view on a sunny day. On the wet days we enjoyed the same view from comfy armchairs inside. The nearby beach is lovely for walks but we just took the car there as it is very steep for walking. There's so much to see in the surrounding areas too. We have shown our stay photos to friends who are also now keen to stay at the Round House. We really enjoyed it. Thank you.

We had an unexpected family emergency and find this jam. Family had to travel in from a couple of different countries and the host was so flexible and so helpful. We love this place and will stay here again. Great views great space for having to work clean functional a hidden jam. Thanks so much.

A very pleasant stay. Beautiful location. Hostess Kathleen was most helpful and had left a lovely surprise for our arrival. Ideal for touring Donegal.

My family loved our stay at Ardcarne Lodge. Brian and his parents were helpful and welcoming, with lots of local recommendations for restaurants and sightseeing, and the lodge itself was utterly charming. We also appreciated the fresh flowers, and the grocery essentials in the fridge. Our stay here was one of the highlights of our trip to Ireland!

If you're looking for a traditional Irish country cottage, with plenty of space, and privacy, you won't go wrong with this. Margaret the host was fabulous from the moment it was booked and really couldn't have been more helpful. The cottage has everything you could possibly need, both indoors and outdoors and it was lovely to find some buns, milk, orange juice and water on arrival. A very nice touch. Thoroughly recommend the host and the cottage. Book with confidence - you won't regret it.

great place to get away from it all, lovely patio to eat on when the sun shines. great area for walking. hope to get back again for longer

We stayed here with our two sons and our dog. The house was so comfortable and cosy. The space was perfect and so well designed and maintained. The gardens were fab and very secure so the dog could potter around and we could leave the door open. The beds were super comfy and the kitchen was easy to use. I’d highly recommend this house to anyone travelling this direction. As an aside, the local area is stunning. We completed many walks and many cafes etc were dog friendly so we could bring her inside which was so easy when the weather was bad. This is my new favourite location in Ireland as it was just so easy and every single person we met was so nice. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this house to friends and family!

We loved our stay with Allan and Joan. They are both so friendly and helpful, and our time felt very peaceful. It was nice to be close to the city, but not in it.

my family and I had a great week at the Coach house, and the house was spacious and very well equipped and clean. the main attractions are outdoors! the lake at the bottom of the driveway! the beach, the private hot tub was amazing and so spacious. the games room was fab! everyone loved it, from the adults to the kids, hours of entertainment 😀 highly recommend 👌

Beautiful and spacious ocean front rental. We had everything we needed and quick access to the Buncrana ocean trail. We had a relaxing time here to celebrate a wedding.

Came to Ireland for a family vacation - 8 adults and a 1 year old. This was our third AirBnb on the trip and cannot say enough about how wonderful it was! So much history but with modern amenities. It was the best part of our trip. Went on many walks - over to the castle and to Harvey's Point stopping at the Famine Pot and seeing great views of the lake & farm animals along the way. Stayed three nights and used the pool/pond and sauna every day. The dining & living rooms were really spacious. We cooked all of our meals - the kitchen is a great set up with loads of dishes and anything you could need. The butcher in town had a great selection. Musical instruments were a huge bonus. It was quite warm for May so we didn't have a chance to have any fires - but the fireplaces would be wonderful for cool nights. There is also the 'wagon' which has a double bed, small kitchen and seating area and an adjacent full bathroom available. Rose was always a message away and super helpful. Loved it!

We were astonished by this place. The house is so deceiving from the front but once you enter it’s completely modern with an en-suite in every single bedroom, you would swear you were staying in the hotel itself. The rooms were spotless and the staff on site were absolutely amazing. Will definitely be back here again soon and will be recommending this place to everyone who is looking for a staycation. Thanks again for a great night away.

We absolutely loved our stay at Rock Farm Slane! The place is so peaceful, surrounded by nature, making it the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle. Our dog, Zoe, had the best time exploring the wide, walkable spaces and taking in the beautiful sights. The atmosphere is serene, and it’s a wonderful spot to relax and unwind. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a tranquil getaway—especially for those with pets who love the outdoors! We’ll definitely be back.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
