Family-friendly vacation rentals in Galway

Wonderful spacious apartment just outside of Galway. Very easy to get in and out of town on the 409 bus. Valerie is a friendly, very responsive. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here, both exploring the city and doing a day trip to the cliffs of Moher. We would definitely stay here again.

Laura has a lovely little spot, out of the way. It was a bit of a drive to Galway but enjoyable. She greeted us when we arrived and wax helpful. My daughter loved the tiny house.

Very much enjoyed our stay! Such a perfect location close to the heart of town. Parking at the Cathedral was a breeze and a 3-4 minute walk. Loved having a washer AND dryer - such a plus!! Charming place.

I stayed here with my family (5 of us total) for two nights and we had a wonderful experience. The hosts were proactive with checkin instructions and always responded super quickly to any of our questions. We loved the coziness of the room decorations. They left us a bottle of wine and some snacks and a handy qr code for house rules and things to do in the area. The place is so spacious and we really enjoyed having a washer and dryer in unit. Only downsides were that the WiFi wasn’t great and you have to park a couple streets over. It was slightly confusing at checkin because we didn’t realize the unit is below (door to the side) the main entrance that is pictured. We would definitely stay again though if we’re ever back in Galway and highly recommend!

Beautiful private home with modern amenities. Amazing location (close to Doonbeg golf) and the views and sunset were spectacular.

Charming accommodation & quiet location. Is recommended. We loved it. Would book it again:)

Mary's place was warm and homey. It is an old Irish cottage. She laid out a nice tea with homemade scones and soda bread for our arrival, which were delicious. She also had many things available for personal needs including food items and health and beauty aids. Mary shared advice on things to see and do in the area. We all enjoyed our stay at Bridgie's Cottage.

We loved our stay in Galway! The apartment had unbelievable views and within walking distance to many pubs and restaurants. Highly recommended!

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.

perfect little loft for a night away of peace and quiet.. met eilis as I got there, lovely warm welcome. an absolutely stunning home, and lovely little loft

Patrick was helpful when the satnav took me to the wrong place (Eircode was also not accurate). He was very welcoming and friendly and was happy to advise on local attractions. Good value for money.

One of the best bnbs you can ask for, perfect lakeside retreat. Want to get back to see how the winter there looks like. Patrick has been very responsive to all my queries and had kept the place so well. Thanks again for hosting

You don’t want to pass up this little gem if you’re looking for serenity with a gorgeous view of Lough Derg and the Irish countryside. The home was spacious and accommodating, with everything we needed. We enjoyed playing some games provided by the host, as well as the fun billiards table. My only complaint is we couldn’t stay longer due to our schedule. Would definitely book again. Thanks.

Incredible location without being too loud with the hustle and bustle of the downtown area. We were able to walk all over the city from the apartment. Very comfortable space! Was a little tricky to unload luggage, and lug up the outdoor and indoor stairs… and the lock/unlock doors are a bit confusing. However, Francis was incredibly responsive and has an excellent guidebook that gives instructions on everything from the gate to the door to the shower. Highly recommend!

Fantastic location and spacious, thoughtfully decorated space that is comfortable and inviting. We stayed here for our first 2 nights of our Ireland vacation and the perfect way to start. There was parking for our car and amazing warm shower, cozy linens and plenty of room to stretch out and plan our visit. You basically have your own little apartment that has the coolest vibe (something from an interior design book) and Galway restaurants, music, pubs and shops just outside the door. We drove to Connemara one day as a day trip and returned for a delicious dinner at Ard Bia's restaurant - be sure to get a reservation here as food and atmosphere is amazing. Highly recommend this spot - one of our best AirBnB's to date!

We booked this magnificent home for a portion of our family to attend a vow renewal in the area, and it was everything that we hoped for. With four bedrooms, two living rooms, a huge kitchen and eating space, and gorgeous grounds - the entire group was able to stay comfortably, and enjoy cooking and sharing meals together, without being on top of each other. The furnishings are also very well done. Anne and Maree were extremely helpful, and always available to answer questions. I can highly recommend this listing to others.

We really enjoyed our stay! John was quick and responsive to ask about our check-in and check-out experience. The apartment is wonderful and was very clean. Thank you for a great stay!

We had a great stay at Gerry's cottage. We mainly communicated with Bridget and she was very responsive. The town of Kinvara is beautiful and we enjoyed walking around the area most days. Thanks Gerry and Bridget for a great stay.

the house was very clean and well mentioned. ita close to Tesco store. our welcome was very well and check in was very smooth. Martina is very good host and an amazing house owner. would recommend to all who love to spend time away from crowd but close to nature.

We had a lovely stay at Fiona's. The accommodation was comfortable and clean. It was a very easy check in experience and Fiona had provided lots of info, advice and suggestions on things to do and places to go. Highly recommend

Very good stay at Rory's, who was quite responsive. The apartment is located in a quiet area, the environment is very pleasant and the accommodation well-equipped and clean. As mentioned in the comments, the accommodation deserves a little interior refresh. Thank you Rory for your hospitality!

Wonderful location with walking to many great restaurants and shops. Host was very responsive to any questions we had and the unit was clean, and stocked with all the essentials. Highly recommend this host and unit. Don’t miss out on trying a burger at handsome burger ( our favorite)!!

We had a great stay near Westport and would thoroughly recommend it for a peaceful get away and beautiful scenery.

We had a wonderful stay in the cottage! It was charming, quiet, functional and all around delightful. The space was very comfortable and well-appointed. The local town of Oughterard has some great pubs and anything else you need to enjoy a vacation. We found the location to be a great basecamp to explore the whole region.
