Family-friendly vacation rentals in County Mayo

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.

Very charming and perfect spot if you’re looking to unwind, reconnect with nature and meet some friendly people and animals. Dermot and Monica were very helpful and lovely to talk to will definitely be back again.

Had a fantastic stay at Mary’s. The place is absolutely beautiful, stunning views and so peaceful. We were 2 adults and 3 teenagers. The kids loved swimming in the lake, walking the shore and feeding the donkeys. The cabin was well equipped, had everything you might need and was very cosy and warm. And the hot tub was fabulous! Great to have! Mary was a great hostess. Thanks Mary!

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 had a family break March 2025. 12 family members, the accommodation was perfect for us. Great kitchen/dining room for socialising/eating. Never felt on top of each other 6 of the bedrooms had en-suite shower room and there was also a downstairs cloakroom off of the main hall. All of the 5 double bedrooms downstairs had en-suites and one of the double bedrooms upstairs. We all loved coming back 'home' after a day out. Great outside facilities, plently of logs for the sauna, hot tub. Excvellent views. Beautiful stary skies on clear nights with zero light polution! Will be staying again, already planning our 2026 stay! Marian was extremely responsive both before and duting our stay, as was the local caretaker who responded almost immediatley to a maintenance request we had during our stay

My brother and myself were paying a visit to relatives who live in the area..we found Sheila’s air B&B to be very accommodating..very homely ..warm ..private ..as my brother described it to being like “ home from home “.accommodation was very clean and well equipped .We could not find fault at all . We met Sheila before departing and had a lovely friendly chat and discovered she knew our relatives . We would definitely use this accommodation again if it met our requirement dates .

This is our second stay at Patricias house. The house is really spacious, clean and well maintained with lots of rooms for family activities. The surroundings are really quiet and peaceful but only a few minutes drive to a few lively areas with good pubs and restaurants. Lots to do in the house and garden, the bikes are an added bonus. We have always found Patricia to be very friendly and helpful, a fantastic host. Thank you again for letting us stay in your lovely home.

All I could say is Excellent stay, fantastic and neatly maintained. Centra is nearby for last minute things to buy.

The cottage is perfect for a countryside stay. The surrounding landscape is utterly beautiful and offers a wealth of walking opportunities. We were warm and cozy and enjoyed a couple of picturesque sunsets and the views toward the lough. The home has everything we needed for cooking, outdoor grilling, and relaxing. William greeted us in person to be sure we were settled and his recommendation for a hill walk was another highlight of our stay. Already planning a return trip!

This is my second time to stay in one of Teresa's beautiful holiday homes, and it was just as wonderful as the first. The cottage is cosy, peaceful, warm and fully equipped with everything you could possibly need. Teresa is a fantastic host – warm, welcoming, and always on hand if needed. I can’t wait to come back again ❤️

beautiful old world charming cottage. The cottage is close to a small beach, very private, except for the lovely bulls and donkey in the field in front but 10 minutes away from town so not too isolated from shops and restaurants. really beautiful place to escape for a few days and spend nights cuddled in front of the fire

Great house in a beautiful area. Very clean and everything worked well. Mary was also very helpful and great communication..

Another fantastic stay for 12 of us in this fantastic house with loads of space for adults, teenagers and younger children. Such an amazing location, close to beaches and the most beautiful walks . We’ll be back and I would recommend to anyone who wants to stay in this area, or anyone who does not know the area but wants a break in a beautiful rural house, easily shared with friends or other families.

We stayed 2 nights at Donal's Place. It was more than we expected and was perfect for our needs. Spacious house, very well laid out with everything you could need provided. Everything was very clean, with lovely bed linen and great spaces to sit and relax both in the house and the garden. The views of the mountain to the front of the house were stunning and the beautiful seafront was a short walk away. We had a lovely dinner at the Venue both nights, a five minute stroll away. Donal was very easy to contact and we found him to be very pleasant and informative. The neighbours too were very friendly. We all had a great weekend with lots to do in the area. I would definitely stay here again.

We asked several questions prior to our arrival and Tanya was very prompt and helpful. John was there to greet us (despite us arriving early), we had a lovely warm welcome and John ensured we knew how we could contact him if need be.

Excellent house in an excellent location. Great host, clear communications and responsive.

Oh my goodness this place!!!! Absolutely stunning location, peaceful and private yet handy for a great choice of restaurants in Clifden. The cottage itself is just totally beautiful, spacious, clean, comfortable and the views are unreal. We’ve never spent so much time wanting to look out of windows!! The deer and the ponies were a bonus. Mary was great at communication. All in all my favourite Airbnb. Thank you so much for letting us experience this fabulous property in a magical area.

Very comfortable. Beautiful surroundings and view. Didn’t want to leave.

Had a wonderful stay. Great host. Beautiful house so deceptive there was so much space. Lovely pub next door. Peaceful and Quiet. We will be back.

A very spacious and comfortable apartment with a gorgeous view, sheep included. Close to town but feels like countryside. Town is a pretty 20 minute walk away. Regina is a devoted though not intrusive hostess, with lots of good suggestions for places to visit. Nearby Westport has natty shops and fine food. Try Hotel Wyatt — try their magnificent mussels. The region is a seafood haven.

It was perfect! Very clean and SO charming! Easily walkable into the village. Exactly what we were looking for!
