Family-friendly vacation rentals in Galway

Padraic’s place was the perfect location in the heart of West End, Galway. He was an excellent host who was very responsive and flexible to my needs. The unit was a great 3 bedroom that had all you needed to a visit to this lovely city. I highly recommend it and will definitely be returning.

Our stay in William’s cottage was truly relaxing and we loved the old world charm of the space. The views and the location were amazing and we were lucky enough to get a tour of some of the less known archaeological sites of the area with William who is a really helpful and friendly host. Will certainly be back again…

We had an amazing stay here. Veronica and Justin were fantastic hosts. They were very friendly and helpful. The location is beautiful and the house is so clean, cosy and comfortable. Would absolutely recommend for a stay in lovely Spiddal!

This was a wonderful private place to stay in. It was close to Galway and had a lot of local amenities within 10 minutes.

Barry was an excellent host and easy to communicate with. The apartment was a nicely renovated older apartment and very comfortable. The area was perfect to explore Ennis and walking distance to everything. The location was also great to get out and explore surrounding towns and areas. We very much enjoyed our stay!

Ed was a most gracious host. Offered recommendations in the area and very quick to respond to any questions. Would love to visit again someday

What a fabulous place to stay and use as a base for the Ennis area. Angele was the perfect host providing detailed and helpful information and recommendations. The 2-bedroom unit was immaculately clean, and stylishly furnished. Would not hesitate to stay here again ... 10/10

Fantastic stay! Quiet location and wonderful views! Close enough to Galway for dinners, but far enough out to feel free of the city.

The cottage is in a rural area, very beautiful and quiet, with woods and meadows nearby; it is spacious, with a large living room and a lovely veranda overlooking the lawn. Sally was a helpful and very courteous host. It was a perfect stay.

What a charming cottage in a fabulous location! My husband and I stayed there with another couple and it was very comfortable for the four of us. Comfortable beds, hot showers, a functional kitchen, a quiet location right on the canal, and only a 4 minute walk to the Latin Quarter with its pubs, restaurants, and shops. We didn't bother renting a car, we took the train from Dublin and it was only a 12 minute walk from the station. The Aran Island Ferry departure point was only a 15 minute walk. We loved Galway and if we return, we'll be booking this place on Nun's Island again!

We loved our stay here! Cozy place that made for a great 3 day stay in Galway, which was the midway point in our road trip around Ireland. Everything you need is walking distance but the apartment was very private and quiet. Having the laundry machines was an added bonus for us as we packed light. Hosts were very responsive and helpful. Rory even came out to meet us on the sidewalk as we had a little trouble finding it (our fault, not their lack of instructions lol). On our last night our son got sick (too many oysters) and although we cleaned everything we could, we still managed to ruin a linen or two. They were incredibly kind and understanding. The only minor annoyance is the parking, but we pretty much ditched the car on a free side street and didn’t drive it until we left. Highly recommend getting over to Crane’s Bar on a Thursday night for the storytelling and live trad music. We brought our 10yo and it was really special to experience.

Great hosts, always there to help at anytime, lovely house and great area

My husband and I booked this stay last minute and it turned out to be our favorite of our two weeks trek all over Ireland. Tim and his family are super nice and friendly. We had all the amenities we needed to cook on our own and enjoy a few leisurely days in the country. Amazingly, the patio at the back of the house opens on to one of the farm pastures so we had cows for company one evening. So thankful that we got to share the farm with Tim and his family. Five stars and cannot wait to come back!

Noel was very welcoming, the house was spotless, very spacious, great location and he was responsive before and throughout our stay. Very happy overall!

Charming living space with well equipped kitchen and the most extensive selection of foods for breakfast!

Lovely place, very nice host. Had a great time.

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.

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

Our family loved the cottage. The views and sunsets were just beautiful. It is 2 minutes from Cliffs if Moher and about 8 minutfrom Doolin. It was a nice touch to have breakfast foods for the first morning. The hot tub was an added bonus. We had a great dinner at Russell Seafood and listened to music at McDermotts.

This was our second stay at Mark’s Eden Retreat Cottage. We stayed there last year and loved it so much we came again this year. The size was perfect for a small group of friends on a combined business and leisure trip. We love the spacious kitchen and especially the little fireplace. The surroundings are beautiful and peaceful and just a short trip into town for supplied, pubs, busses, shopping, etc. Last year we used the hottub but this year it was out of service. Mark notified us in advance of this and compensated us for the inconvenience, which I appreciated very much.. Mark is a great communicator! Will stay again. Thank you!

John’s house was nice and clean and cosy. Bit further from Kinvarra than we expected but it was fine as we had a hire car. The house had everything we needed. We had a lovely stay. Would definitely recommend
