Family-friendly vacation rentals in Westport

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

We had a wonderful three-day stay at Mary’s place! The surroundings are beautiful, and the location is convenient with great access to the town. The price was very reasonable for everything that was offered. Even though the weather wasn’t perfect, the hot tub and sauna made our trip so much more enjoyable — they turned rainy days into relaxing afternoons. Sitting by the dock with a cup of hot tea, watching the water, was one of the most peaceful moments of our stay. Thank you, Mary, for providing such a cozy and lovely getaway!

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

A beautiful house with a lot of attention to detail in the peaceful irish countryside. We had a lovely stay in this cozy home, even if it rained the whole time through!

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.

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…

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 ❤️

couldn't fault this wee gem! great for the pups and so close to the beach! we will defo be back! 👌

Niamh's place is a very well restored old coastguard house that is unique to ireland . ideal for cozy living on the western seaboard of ireland. it very well appointed with everything you need for a short or long holiday. located within 5 minutes walking to the local seaside village of Cleggan. friendly locals and great pubs for a pint and food. local visits to the connemara national park and kylemore Abbey are must. if you are into walking or hiking its perfect and of course a gateway to innisboffin island. magical.

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.

Great place and wonderful host. I would highly recommend Maggs’ perfectly located home - we could walk to everything. Maggs was extremely helpful and responsive to our questions, and also proactive in sharing tips and information about the area and fun things to do. Thank you for hosting us Maggs!

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.

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.

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.

myra,s place was close to the centre of westport 10 minutes walk on arrival very friendly and good chats,house was clean and tidy and having a kitchen was a bonus, I would highly recommend myra,s place

Lovely apartment in spotless condition. Stayed for the weekend with 2 kids and it suited us perfectly. Would definitely recommend this property.

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.
