Great accommodation to stay in. Very clean & comfortable with everything you need for your stay. Margaret is a very warm & welcoming host. Beautiful quiet surroundings & fab views.

Apartment in Kinvarra
4.96 out of 5 average rating, 28 reviewsJohnston House: Historic Village Retreat
Johnstons is great! Kinvarra is such a charming town and this place is a great spot for exploring it. Lily and Richard were very easy to chat with, and had lots of great local recommendations. The apartment is huge and filled with art and posters reflecting the history of the building. It also has easily one of the best stocked kitchens I’ve ever seen in an Airbnb. And of course Aunt Agnes.

Una and Anna could not have been more friendlier, helpful and accommodating hosts. So responsive and keen to ensure we had a great stay. Which we did. Rose Cottage is the ultimate get away if you wish to be surrounded by nature on the shores of beautiful Loch Derg. The house is beautiful and characterful, and has everything you need to make your stay memorable. We very much hope to be back. Oh, and our two dogs loved it!! Thank you so much Una and Anna!

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.

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!
