Waterfront apartment accommodation

Spacious apartment in Newport
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.

The Studio On The Square
Great location, great accommodation. Sinead was so easy to contact and check in was also very easy. great stay all round

Beautifully designed apartment for 2 Westport Quay
Thanks Rachel and Ciaran for hosting us for the weekend. It’s a stylish apartment and very clean, tidy, warm in great location for Westport town, Westport house and surrounding amenities. Rachel was very proactive in accommodating us and coming back to any queries. We’d highly recommend it for anyone on break in Westport!

Galway city centre fabulous 2 bedroom apartment
Wonderful place, with a wonderful view. Location was excellent adjacent to shopping and prime downtown. Clean with few complications.

The Amazing Panoramic Penthouse- Free Parking-
Fantastic place to stay with nearby dedicated parking, quick walk to all the action in Galway City, and fantastic views from the living area and balcony! I come to Ireland often and will definitely stay here again when in Galway City! The hosts were quick to respond to queries and provided great advice on things to do in the area, restaurants, bars, etc.

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.

Nice 55sqm apartment in perfect Westport location
excellent place, right on the harbour, good views of the lake, and walking distance to Westport House and its beautiful gardens

Roslea Lodge, Luxury farm stay with stunning views
Carmel was so accomodating. The place was beautifully decorative for Christmas, which was such a nice surprise. Stove was on when we arrived and it was super cosy and homely. Allowed a late check out which was very much appreciated. Would go back in a heartbeat and would recommend to friends and family. Thanks again

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.

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!

Gated, Neo-Georgian, River Views
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
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!
Waterfront condo accommodation

Seaview modern apartment
Excellent everything!!! The place, the views, the setting. Just fab and super close to the bus which was great. 10 mins into the centre of old Galway. Thanks Mary, we’ll 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:)

Marina view 3 bedroom all ensuite apartment
Lovely apartment, any problems Roger was more than happy to help. Would stay again

Bayview Penthouse in Salthill
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!

Luxury 2 bedroomed Killaloe apartment
Excellent location in the town of Killaloe. Accomodations were wonderful with amazing views.

Curlew Beag
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!
