Spacious apartment in Newport

HayleyRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Thank you Mary and co for allowing us to stay at your place. The place was spotlessly clean, private and quiet with beautiful views of the river. The thing that really stood out to us was how amazingly well equipped the place was - they had everything you could possibly need including an airfryer! The beds were super cosy and comfortable and I loved that there were so many lamps so that you could have cozy lighting. We would definitely book again when visiting family in Newport, if you’ll have us.

Anchorage Apartment with Quayside view

ThomasRating, 5 stars3 months ago
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!

The Old Bakery

RoseRating, 5 stars2 months ago
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.

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.

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!

Gated, Neo-Georgian, River Views

CormacRating, 5 stars3 months ago
Our time at Stormont House was absolutely wonderful! Such a beautiful home in a gorgeous spot on the river. Frances was welcoming and responsive, and made sure that we were comfortable. This was the perfect spot for my family to stay while visiting our extended family in Tipperary—there’s was lots of space to host, and we spent many lovely hours sitting around the spacious kitchen table drinking tea and catching up with everyone. We are all hoping to be able to stay at Stormont again soon!

Special place, with private walled garden, for 2

AlbertRating, 5 stars3 months ago
We stayed for four nights in November. We had such a great time, the accommodation was spotless and so relaxing. Rachel has left lots of lovely touches in the Air bnb, such as the record player, gas fire and extremely comfy bed. Rachel was so friendly and easygoing and also respected our privacy. The private garden backing onto the air bnb was very tranquil and we could say hello to Peter the cat each morning! I would recommend this Air bnb to anyone who wants time to de-stress in County Mayo. The location was perfect for us as you can easily walk to the local pubs and restaurants , and you are a little further away from the busier town of Westport. ( 15 min drive away) Thank you Rachel for an unforgettable stay and if we ever come back to County Mayo we will be sure to stay with you again!

The Quay Westport Ireland 2 bedroom

DedeRating, 5 stars4 months ago
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.

Bayview Penthouse in Salthill

JamieRating, 5 stars2 months ago
This was our second stay here and it was as nice as the first. The place is spacious and modern with a great Balcony. We love the location close to Galway but in a quiet area with a wonderful view and a quick walk to O'Conners, one of our favorite pubs. There is an aquarium right out the door and an arcade just around the corner which would be a great benefit for anyone traveling with their kids!

Curlew Beag

LivvyRating, 5 stars5 days ago
Great stay in rural Ireland - so beautiful and peaceful right by the sea. Loved the little touches like milk in the fridge! A small but suitable kitchenette and really enjoyed the sauna. Definitely need a car to get around and plan ahead for dinner out of peak season. Highlight of TodiFinnegan, the excitable but gentle guard dog!
