Family-friendly vacation rentals in Galway

We had a lovely stay at Juli’s House. Donal is an excellent host, friendly and helpful. The house is really peaceful and lots to enjoy in the area and good places to eat in Westport. We will definitely return.

A perfect place to stay and explore Galway! Walkable, clean, and thoughtfully set up. We enjoyed our stay and highly recommend!

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.

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.

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

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

Pat and Mary Angela are marvellous hosts. When we arrived the fires were lit, the table was set and there were gorgeous scones made by Mary Angela. They are both so friendly and gave lots of recommendations of places to visit. Their lovely cottage is perfectly situated for exploring Galway. It is definitely a home from home. My husband and I along with our 3 adult children and 2 Jack Russells had a great time there and we had everything we needed. We also loved Pat and Mary Angela's cafe and bookshop in Oughterard Village. Well worth a visit. Couldn't recommend this cottage highly enough!

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.

We stayed at Frank's beautiful tiny house for two nights and had a great time. Frank provided more than we would have asked for! :) The house is super cozy and has a lot of sweet details!

We enjoyed our stay very much. The house is lovely and had everything we needed; the location is wonderful!

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.

I had a great time at Kate's house. Very peaceful, beautiful surroundings. It feels out of the way but is very close to the nearest town. A great AirBnB.

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!

Noelines place was beautiful, very cosy and spotlessly clean. she was a lovely lady who was there to greet is when we arrived. It was well equipped with everything we needed. One of the best air bnb stays so far. Thank you Noeline

authentic irish cottage experience! in the middle of nowhere with stunning views around the cottage. the cottage is very cute and cozy. kitchen has everything you need and they even provided some pasta ingredients and orange juice for free for us :) u need definitely a car to get to the cottage. all in all, great stay!

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 wonderful stay at the Semple Mill penthouse. The location is ideal—right in the heart of Galway but tucked away enough to feel peaceful, with beautiful views of the canal and easy walking access to everything from the Latin Quarter to farmers markets. The apartment was bright, spacious, and stylishly furnished, and we especially appreciated the indoor parking, and beautiful, secure setting. One of the unexpected highlights was the private gym equipment—perfect for a quick morning workout before heading out to explore. The hosts were responsive and helpful, and the space was well-appointed with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The only issues were minor (like the grimy electric tea kettle and the large “private” balcony being accessible to the whole building). Those things didn’t affect our enjoyment but are worth noting for longer stays. Still, highly recommended—this is an excellent base for exploring Galway.

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.
