Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Galway

Our stay at the Bog Road Cottage was wonderful. The location was ideal for us as it was outside the nearby towns so was quiet and sat on a great, walkable road that ran through a beautiful area, but it was close enough to easily drive into Clifden or one of the nearby beach towns. The cottage itself was quaint and comfortable, with all the amenities we needed, some nice treats to welcome us on the first day, and nice seating inside and out for some slow mornings and evenings. Sophia was really welcoming and very helpful in providing insights and info on good things to do in the area, and great with communication. We very much enjoyed our stay here.

A big thank you to Piero for the support.

excellent location. check in was seamless. house had all the amenities I needed and more. couldn't fault anything. Will definitely rebook if I need to stay in Loughrea again

Stayed at Anna Marie’s for 4 days. Attended a wedding at Vaughn’s and the house was awesome! The home was well appointed with everything we needed. Anna Marie even stocked the fridge with everything we needed for breakfast included eggs, bread, milk and cheese. We were two couple travelling and there was enough sleeping arrangements that we were all able to have a bed to ourselves (one on a sofa bed; which was extremely comfortable). The patio area outside was excellent as the weather allowed us to eat our meals outside.

Our stay here was the highlight of our two-week trip along Ireland’s Emerald Coast! The home is spacious, stylish, and comfortable—perfect for cooking meals in the unique circular kitchen, taking a bath in the gorgeous clawfoot tub or sitting by the fireplace reading. The views of the Bay and the Aran Islands were absolutely stunning, and with the water just steps away, we felt truly connected to the landscape. Bernie and Val were a wonderful hosts—quick to respond and full of helpful tips, especially for visiting Inishmore, where we had an amazing day exploring by e-bike. One night, Val brought fresh lobsters, prepared them perfectly, and joined us for wine and great conversation. We especially enjoyed the welcome basket upon arrival. Kayaking in the bay was unforgettable, with seals bobbing nearby from the colony across the water. Between the scenery, the comfort, and the warm hospitality, this stay was pure magic. We can’t recommend it enough and would return in a heartbeat!

If you want to be in the thick of things in Galway, this is the place for you! We walked right out our door to restaurants, pubs, & shopping! The open market was going on (Saturday) with fare from local vendors … That was so much fun & we were able to purchase several gifts & souvenirs. Our adult children in their mid 20’s & 30’s loved the styling of the place as well as its easy access to nightlife. Martin’s place is very comfortable & nicely furnished & has a great location. Would recommend!

My friend and I had the most lovely stay with David and Cheryl. They made us feel very at home and cared for with their recommendations for what to do in the area and thoughtful conversations over delicious coffee + breakfast. The home was beautiful and very comfortable + cozy. We hope to be back!

we had a wonderful stay, the house was clean and equipped with everything we needed. Sandra' communication was quick and clear, she had helpfull suggestions like bike rental delivery to the house.

We loved staying at Maria’s place! She reached out to us to help us check in when we ran late. The home was clean, comfortable, and quiet. We slept great and had such a relaxing stay. Thank you!

We loved our stay here. Roy met us on arrival and helped us with our luggage. It’s just a short walk to the cabin, which are facing a lovely wildflower meadow. Like the surroundings they are beautiful inside and out and have a little hob and fridge in the kitchen and some basic cookware. We enjoyed the short walks round the nature reserve in the evenings. There is a very good small supermarket in the town and several nice places in the area to get a coffee, a drink and food. It’s a great location for exploring the Burren. We also recommend the seafood restaurants that are about 15 minute drive away as they are incredible - Linnane’s and Moran’s.

We stayed in Cashel for 3 nights during our Ireland trip. The cottage was lovely — even nicer than the beautiful pictures. We enjoyed watching the bay each day. The beds were very comfortable and the size was just fine for 2 large-ish people. It is close to Roundstone and Clifden. Malachy Bodhran’s workshop is a must see in Roundstone - what an interesting person!

My family were ‘blown away’ on arrival. En-suites in each of the three double bedrooms plus a separate bathroom. Comfy beds with crisp cotton bedding and cosy duvets. Electric blankets in the two downstairs bedrooms, a top of the range duvet upstairs to snuggle into. The kitchen and utility area are well equipped with washing machine & tumble-dryer. Richard was always quick to respond to our queries and the housekeeper lives nearby. The secluded location along a bumpy lane is off the famous Sky Road with its stunning views. The views give plenty of scope for amazing photo opportunities. It’s a 15 minute drive to and from Clifden for shopping/restaurants. There is plenty to do and see in Connemara and don’t set too much store by the weather forecasts. It can change rapidly from a heavy shower to bright sunshine in a moment. It all adds to the beauty of the area and Waters Edge is ideally located to appreciate it. We loved our time here.

loved our stay at Tracy's. Find it hard to book accommodation that allows pets but Tracy's was perfect, in the perfect setting also. our host was very warm and welcoming, and super friendly. our puppy had a great time playing with tracys pets esp the donkey!! because there was no guests booked in for the following night she let us take our time booking out which was really appreciated. the cottage is very cosy and full of character and charm. Tracy was great at giving us information of local towns, shops, food and things to see and do. Loved our stay and can't wait to get back in the near future

We had a lovely stay at this comfortable accommodation ideally located for visiting the Connemara!

The accommodation was exactly as described. The host responded quickly and was very friendly. We felt very comfortable during our stay and would happily come back.

Gwenn’s place is a peaceful retreat with beautiful views of the countryside and glimpses of the ocean. It has a lot of charm and ambiance and we felt like we were really living in the countryside! Reading in the sun room with the quiet fields beyond was a highlight. The house itself has welcoming, warm rooms and Gwenn is a gracious host. We were only sad we couldn’t stay longer. We would definitely stay again!

Hawthorn House is a stunning and peaceful retreat nestled in the heart of Ros Cíde, offering an authentic experience of Connemara's rugged beauty. From the moment we arrived, it was evident that the property was carefully designed, and meticulously maintained, providing a warm and inviting atmosphere. The house is situated deep in the idyllic landscape, far from the hustle and bustle - a perfect choice for those seeking tranquillity and immersion in nature. Every amenity was in excellent condition, from the fully equipped kitchen to the cosy living spaces that were perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. Irene, the house manager, was an absolute joy to communicate with. Always prompt and accommodating, she ensured that our stay was seamless and enjoyable. If you’re looking for a secluded escape to truly appreciate the rugged charm of Connemara, Hawthorn House is an exceptional choice. We left feeling refreshed and connected to the beauty of Ireland’s west. Highly recommended!

Absolutely stunning house in a gorgeous location. Host was fabulous too. Would highly recommend.

What a beautiful location and place to stay! We slept wonderfully in this peaceful country retreat. The location is about 1/2way between Dublin and Kylemore Abbey, we used it as a stopover on our way towards Dublin after Kylemore. The value would be really great for a large party, for us there were only 5 so we didn’t even use all the rooms (the kids wanted to sleep together, they were excited for the bunk beds). We wandered around the estate a little and even took a stroll around the Friary ruins in town. There is a playground at the entrance to the estate area that the kids loved. We had a great time with the fire pit in the outside area behind the place. It is a renovated old building so it did have some problems, and our impression was that the hosts are new to this process, but what they lacked in experience they made up for in enthusiasm. Rowan was VERY responsive, and tried his best to resolve any issues quickly. We would stay here again.

10/10, Absolutely fabulous and our nicest stay in Ireland to date. Surroundings were so peaceful, the cabin was beautiful, clean and really well equipped. Local village was only minutes away. Most importantly and standout for us was Carmel, who was so kind and welcoming and had absolutely everything you could need. Definitely will come back !!

Sarah and Barry were excellent hosts. We booked for 2 nights and had the hot tub for ourselves the first night. It was fun lighting the fire and keeping it going while the night fell. On the 2nd night we booked the sauna and plunge pools with outdoors shower. So relaxing going from one to another over 2hrs. My wife booked a facial treatment with Sarah on the morning we were leaving and found it brilliant and relaxing. Thanks to Sarah and Barry for a lovely stay.
