Wonderful place, with a wonderful view. Location was excellent adjacent to shopping and prime downtown. Clean with few complications.

Spectacular apartment in Clifden, Connemara
By far our favorite host. Elizabeth went over and beyond for us. So helpful when we were in a bind. We loved the place, very clean and tidy. We had a wonderful stay at her home everything was within walking distance. Park your car right in front of the apartment and walk to the town. She also did a great job recommending places. Highly recommend

The Amazing Panoramic Penthouse- Free Parking-
Beautiful spacious place. Enjoyed the sunrises / sunsets from the balcony. Would definitely stay here again.

Anchorage Apartment with Quayside view
We stayed at Linda’s apartment for three nights during a family gathering and had a fantastic experience. The location is ideal, situated right by Westport Quay with stunning harbour views and just a short walk to Westport House. Nearby amenities, including the Helm Bar, Westport Coast Hotel, and a convenient Centra shop, made our stay even more enjoyable. The apartment itself was spacious, immaculately clean, and fully equipped with everything we needed. Overall, it’s a fabulous place to stay with a great location and excellent facilities. Highly recommend!

Luxury Galway City Penthouse
Although the pictures are highly accurate they don’t convey how beautiful and relaxing this place is. Definitely the perfect location within 5 min walk to the key area in dwtn Galway yet super peaceful.

Sunny Boutique Apartment
Roxy was a fanatsic host and the apartment was in the perfect location to explore Connemara or just chill in beautiful Clifden. Would definitely recommend a stay!

Roslea Lodge, Luxury farm stay with stunning views
I cannot recommend Carmel's property highly enough. We are a family of 6 who had a fabulous time celebrating our son 21st. Carmel had left fresh eggs, homemade brown bread and to top it off fresh milk from their diary farm. The location is remote but amazing. It is only a short drive into Westport. We got a taxi into town Saturday evening, Pat lives next door and he brought us in and we just had to give him a call when we were ready to go home. The views of Clew Bay and Croagh Patrick are just breathtaking. We were truyly blessed with fantastic weather which made it even better. We will definately be returning to Carmel's place. Magic Memories were made. Thank you Carmel & family.

House by the sea in beautiful Westport Quay
Beautiful location and exactly as portrayed in the photos. The check-in was extremely easy and Mary was very responsive. I would definitely stay again if I'm back in Westport

Big Lovely House with Perfect City Centre Location
A beautiful house and so close to everything. Lots of recommendations too. A wonderful big cozy house, perfect for families! Does what it says on the tin.

The Old Bakery
We loved staying in The Bakery. The Photos don’t do it justice. Spacious and pristine. Maeve was very quick to respond to any queries we had. She had also left Lindor chocolates, biscuits and fresh flowers for us which was just lovely. Roundstone is so picturesque, with a couple of lovely pubs and the walk on the nearby beaches on Christmas Day morning was just stunning. Would highly recommend staying here.

Spectacular ocean views minutes to Cliffs of Moher
Fantastic stay, views were so beautiful

Galway Bay Wellness 2BR House on the Seashore
We had a perfect stay at Theresa’s place. It was comfortable and relaxing in a beautiful place and Theresa was a wonderful host - binging treats for the kids and some homemade bread for us. The beds were perfect, kitchen fully equipped and with a beautiful view. We recommend fully and hope to come back ourselves.

Spiddal, near Galway. On the Wild Atlantic Way.
We absolutely loved being able to call this place home during our visit to Ireland. Sheila and Redmond were very responsive and friendly in making sure we had everything we needed and more. The location was beautiful and conveniently walkable to the pier, shops and pubs. Our girls especially loved the little playroom - perfect for our family trip!! We’ll definitely be back!

Cong Holiday Let
We had a lovely stay beautiful setting by the river .The house was warm and cosy on arrival . Hugh was there to meet us with instructions on heating and Anne had left us beautiful homemade brown bread which went down very well with a cuppa after our long journey . It’s only a couple of minutes walking distance from the picturesque Cong village

Lake view Apartment Kilaloe
Fantastic place,felt right at home, the Christmas decorations were a lovely addition,the children loved the ducks and surroundings, everything within walking distance, house beautiful and fantastic host, will definitely be back.

The Quay Westport Ireland 2 bedroom
Christines place was amazing. The view was fantastic and the location was great- close to lots of restaurants. It was loosely walkable into Westport city Centre but up very steep hill. The only other issue we had was one of the doors was hard to open/close in the bedrooms. Other than that the place was stunning and we had a great time!

Cosy 2 Bedroom Apartment in Galway City Centre
Location, location, location! The space is a bit out dated but it was perfect for four adults in the heart of Galway. Fruit, milk, and juice on arrival was a lovely touch. Excellent communication, comfy beds, coffee, and great travel tips helped make our stay so nice.

Exclusive Luxury Seafront 2 Bedroom Apartment
Apartment was beautiful, very spacious and the place was spotless. Handy access to the town centre. Bed was very comfortable also. over all a lovely experience would definitely recommend and come back in the future:)

Stayed here for 3 nights with 3 other people. Loved the place, amazing views and beautiful surroundings. Olivia was always responsive to my messages as well. I would definitely stay there again if I am in the area 😊

Curlew Beag
Thanks for a wonderful stay. Sean & Ross were lovely hosts and made me feel very welcome. I enjoyed walking to the castle ruins, hiking Diamond Hill (less than 15 mins away), swimming at Renvyle beach with the sauna afterward, and hiking on Inishbofin. This place is magical - only wish I could have stayed longer!
