Farmstay vacation rentals in County Galway

Mary was a very welcoming host- she was responsive, friendly and easy to communicate with, and left a wonderful welcome pack - including her delicious homemade granola. Mary was also very welcoming to our son and his wife who managed to fit in staying with us during part of our week's stay (they slept on a futon). They loved the place too! The flat is just outside Kinvara which is a lovely village, where, on Mary's recommendation, we listened to live trad Irish music and ate pizza one night. It's a great place from which to explore the burren (don't miss the lovely Russell Gallery and the nearby Flaggy Shore!). Thank you Mary!

Séjour très agréable, dans un environnement magnifique et paisible. Logement tout petit et confortable, bien rénové, propre , et joliment décoré. Idéalement situé pour visiter la région, proche d'une belle plage , et du parc naturel du Connemara. Terry a été un hôte à l' ecoute de nos besoins , et l'échange avec lui a été sympathique et amical , nous avons beaucoup apprécié son accueil. Bref , un séjour parfait , nous recommandons sans hésiter !

Lucy is the best host I’ve met since I Started with Airbnb in 2013. She offered so much of her valuable local expertise, her home and her baked goods! She met us at the gate upon arrival and was always available to us. I love her farmhouse home: Rustic, smart, green, clean and filled with so many homey touches and cozy accountrements. The gardens and hot houses are bursting with life and some delicious fruits and veggies are available off the bush. A one of kind gem if you like nature and rustic living. Airbnb should feature this home as a prime example of the best types of experiences available on their platform.

Finola war eine herausragende Gastgeberin! Wir haben uns schon vor unserer Ankunft sehr willkommen gefühlt und sie ist auf alle unsere Wünsche eingegangen und hat uns großartige Ratschläge gegeben. Die Unterkunft war blitzsauber und sehr geräumig und es hat uns an nichts gefehlt. Alle notwendigen Küchengeräte waren vorhanden und es gab eine kleine Auswahl an Müsli und anderen Lebensmitteln. Auch das Grundstück ist wunderschön und Finolas Familie war ebenfalls sehr freundlich. Wir können Finola und ihre Unterkunft ohne Bedenken jedem empfehlen.

A beautiful location and cottage, the wood burner makes it suitable for all weather conditions, and William was kind enough to restock the wood when we ran out. He also offered recommendations for walks and hikes

We loved staying at Triona's cottage. We spent so much time outside, exploring the surroundings. It was great for kids, both our 12 year old and 4 year old were so impressed with it. It was unusually warm when we were here and Triona brought a fan down which made it even more comfortable inside. Definitely recommend, I would love to come back!

My husband and I took our 3 children with us to site see all over Ireland and this cottage was absolutely wonderful. We needed something that could help accommodate our youngest at 2 years old, and our oldest at 12 years old. Not only was the cottage beautiful, but it was well equipped with toys, books, movies, pack n play, high chair, toddler plates, and a trampoline for the older kids. Fiona and her family were very kind and respectful to our privacy while still providing social interaction when we saw each other. Fiona provided great recommendations for bars, activities, etc. It was a great location to enjoy the peace and quiet, while still be close great sights and shopping, i.e. Galway, Aillweee Caves, and Cliffs of Moher.

The location and view were breathtaking - looking out over Fanore beach, nestled against the hills of the Burren. John was flexible and quick to respond. Pet friendly & a small shop + bar nearby. Will stay there again soon. 10/10 would recommend. A true taste of the real Ireland.

Suzanne's place was absolutely perfect. The beds were so comfy and the linen was so soft. The location is walking distance from doolin and the cliffs of moher trail 🤗 there is a lovely terrace with gorgeous rolling hills down to the sea. We had such a wonderful stay, thanks Suzanne ❤️

We really enjoyed our stay. The cottage very comfortable, clean, warm and well presented and communication was excellent.

We had such a lovely stay here! The location is lovely and the house is tucked away so feels very private. The beds were very comfortable me and the house was nicely laid out and well stocked. Aoife was very responsive and helpful and it was great to be met by a real person (Margaret) to let us in and show us around. All in all it was a fab weekend and we thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would love to return again.

Nicola’s property was ideal for touring around Connemara. It was very peaceful and scenery was breathtaking. We had a really nice time. The property had all we needed and was spotless. Thanks Nicola

Stunning house with the most amazing views. Bernie and her husband were so helpful and kind. Peaceful location close to a pristine beach. The kids loved all the sheep and horses in the nearby fields. Thank you to Bernie for a lovely relaxing week

Anne’s house was one of our very favorites! So warm and spacious, squeaky clean, well stocked with everything you could possibly need without being cluttered. The photos make the house look a little dark, it isn’t at all- it is light with a cozy feel and nice, comfortable furniture. We thought we could stay forever comfortably enjoying the amazing views. The house is very quiet even in a storm and although we loved seeing the sheep just outside we couldn’t hear them, so very peaceful. The beds were comfortable, plenty of hot water, good flushing toilets, everything was great. Anne made us feel right at home and so welcome. She was so thoughtful and kind, we couldn’t say enough. The walk toward Mount Gable was beautiful and a wonderful recommendation. We would gladly stay here again.

We stayed at the guest house for two nights but I wish we stayed longer! It was such a peaceful little getaway especially after our long days of driving. My three year old absolutely loved checking out the vegetable garden, chickens, and sheep! We cooked dinner one night and enjoyed some wine on the deck and it was magical. HIGHLY recommend this spot.

Excellent séjour en famille, parfait pour visiter la région du Connemara. Gîte au calme, les enfants ont adoré les moutons.

Marian è stata una host davvero cordiale e simpatica. La casa rispecchiava la descrizione, era pulita e in un posto fantastico. Io e i miei amici abbiamo passato un buon soggiorno e se mai ci troveremo di nuovo nel Connemara sapremo già dove soggiornare!

John est un hôte sympathique, bienveillant, disponible. Il a pris grand soin de notre confort. Les derniers kilomètres pour l'accès au gîte sont à faire avec prudence compte tenu de la localisation au milieu des terres escarpées et des moutons mais la vue et l'environnement sont magnifiques. Le gîte est confortable, bien équipé et bien chauffé ce que nous avons apprécié durant cette semaine fraiche et pluvieuse. Depaysant, rafraichissant. A recommander.

Marian and Martin were absolutely delightful! They made us feel welcome and honored from the start. They enjoyed getting to know us but also gave us the time to enjoy our vacation. It was the perfect mix! Heidi (the dog) was brilliant! we all wished we could take her home!!!! What a precious addition to our vacation she was!!! HIGHLY recommend this home!!! Beautiful and all that you need for a peaceful fairy tale vacation!!!

We were more than satisfied with the accommodation. We were greeted by horses and the extremely sweet little dog Minnie, and then by delicious scones in the apartment. The area is beautiful and we went on several day trips to Connemara National Park, Burren National Park, the Aran Islands/Cliffs of Moher and Galway. What's more, the area was just perfect for us and the children. My daughters loved feeding the horses and playing with Minnie the dog. Or, if it rains a little, there is additional room for playing, which is equipped with some toys, table tennis, etc. Maura responded quickly to minor problems and helped us out, and was generally very accommodating. If we ever visit Ireland again, we will definitely stop by here again.

Oh absolutely worth the price. We were there at a very special day of the year and got invited to a lovely get together in the evening. Just lovely people.

We loved our stay here. The cottage was immaculate, all the amenities provided were perfect. We felt very spoilt with the treats our host left us. Only a 15 min drive in to Galway yet we felt like we were in the countryside. So peaceful! Would highly recommend this place, you will not be disappointed!

If you are planning a trip near Galway, THIS IS THE PLACE TO STAY! Mary is an INCREDIBLE host and made us feel like family visiting while we were there. The homemade scones and goodies were the best we had the whole trip and everything about the cottage was perfect. She has a ton of local recommendations (including tyre repair which we did end up taking advantage of after finding a rock on one of our adventures) and checked in to make sure we were ok and to find out if we needed anything. Even on checkout, she let us wait out the rain so we didn't have to load up the car wet. While the location isn't in Galway itself, it's incredibly peaceful and was a great location for day trips down to Cliffs of Moher/Kilkee Cliffs, the Aran Islands, Cong and areas north of Galway. This was a really accessible homebase for everything, with the advantage of coming home to a peaceful, thatched cottage to relax in. If you see this gem available for your stay, book it. It is PERFECT!

Wonderfully serene & spacious country home, very well cared for. Wood and fire starter provided for the fireplace to warm us up for tea & dvd throwback evenings. We had a lovely time at Helen’s sweet place 💚
