Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Laois

We had a fantastic experience staying at Danny’s Airbnb in Laois. The accommodation was clean, comfortable and exactly as described — even better in person! Danny was a thoughtful and responsive host, making sure we had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The location was peaceful and perfect for exploring the beautiful Laois countryside and we really appreciated the small touches that made it feel like a home away from home. We would definitely recommend Danny’s Place to anyone visiting the area, and we’d love to stay again! Thank you, Kathy, for such a lovely experience!

Nice place to stay. Liked the billiard table! Bed was comfortable and neighborhood was quiet.

beautiful house in a very relaxing area. thanks for having us

Absolutely fantastic house and host. We were late arriving but Elizabeth left a key out for us. The milk and sweet treats were very much appreciated after a long day. The house is very easy to find. Very clean and comfortable. The beds were great. Bathroom is lovely and the shower is fantastic. Our favourite part was definitely the summer house. Such a peaceful and comfy place to curl up with a book. Great location. Lots of food options nearby. The discovery park is great especially the mining museum. Very friendly little town too. We wouldn't be the most sociable people but we even attended a coffee morning in the local charity shop and had a great time.

Ethel was the "hostess with the mostess" - she thought of absolutely everything, from the candles lit upon our arrival to the syrup for our morning coffees. Ethel also left us a beautiful note for our bride to be, as well as a bottle of bubbles and some lindor - a beautiful touch! Her home was so welcoming, and we were blown away by it. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and were so sad to leave!

Review of Pond Beach Resort A truly amazing place for relaxation and rest! Pond Beach Resort captivated us with its peaceful atmosphere, cozy ambiance, and breathtaking surroundings. Every detail here is thoughtfully designed – from the beauty of nature to the warm hospitality that makes you feel at home. The resort is surrounded by stunning landscapes, and the nearby farm adds a unique charm – animals, lush greenery, and a rustic feel create a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. The jacuzzi was an absolute highlight – warm water, serenity, and incredible views make it a true oasis of relaxation. This is a place you’ll want to return to – whether you’re seeking peace or an unforgettable connection with nature and comfort. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a quality retreat in a beautiful setting!

We had a lovely stay with Aidan and Elena at Sleep Bloom. Every aspect of the booking and the stay were effortless. The area is so peaceful and beautiful with gorgeous walks and villages with great eating options. I would definitely recommend this place and would stay here again. I have never stayed in a cleaner place! There are ducks and chickens and a lovely cat and the kitchen has everything you need and even bacon, sausages and eggs from their chickens! Their attention to detail is really appreciated. It's perfect!

An absolute gem of a location. Loads of room,incredibly comfortable and all the amenities that you could want. It's also just a short 5 minute drive to Portarlington, but we decided there was little need to leave the house, as it was so relaxing. Margaret is a wonderful host and really made sure that we all felt at home, and we loved our (far too short!) stay. You simply can't go wrong with this place!

I think this was the most fully set up airbnb I've ever rented. Marian had left bits for a fry, scones, snacks and even dog treats for our pup. There was milk/butter as well as everything needed to cook for yourself, things like oil, salt/pepper, ketchup etc. Perfectly sized tiny home, plenty of room downstairs in kitchen/livibg area. Cosy bedroom and ensuite upstairs. Clean, nicely decorated and slap bang in the middle of the town.

fantastic place, would definitely recommend and will stay again..

Tom and Moira were gracious hosts, great contact throughout with plenty of helpful information. Apartment was a great location for a local wedding.

Convenient and clean space! We had a comfortable stay. It’s worth noting that if you’re a light sleeper like me there is quite a bit of traffic you can hear from inside. Great spot overall’

JJ Place is perfect for a nice get away, ideally located close to Rathdowney, place was cosy, JJ had food in fridge and loads of other bits n bobs to get us started. it was immaculate clean and a lovely stove to keep us warm. full of turf and basket full also.

We stayed here with our 3 children for one night. It is close to the motorway & was an ideal place to stay to break up a long journey. The stove was lighting when we arrived & lots of turf left for us to keep the fire going. Milk in the fridge & a fresh loaf of bread for us to enjoy. The kids loved the box of toys & books there also. Stephen was very responsive to any message. Highly recommend.

Peaceful quiet and comfortable.

very nice place, spacious and spotless, and better than in the photos. Pleasant garden with terrace allowing lunch outside. Helen is adorable, very responsive, her welcome is very warm. The location is very quiet and 5 minutes by car from Portlaoise where are available full of restaurants and shops. Beautiful hiking spots all around.

Excellent stay at Shad’s apartment. Beautiful countryside setting, peace & quiet just as we wanted. It was very easy to find and was a home away from home. It was well equipped with everything we needed & really comfortable. I highly recommend Shad’s apartment. He is a fantastic host, so helpful, friendly & welcoming.

Rebecca is a wonderful hostess, nothing is too much trouble for her. She had stocked the fridge with fresh milk and also provided bread and fruit.

The apartment was in the perfect location for us and had everything we needed.

Had a lovely couple of days in the annex at Coolanowle House. Beautiful big bedrooms and bathrooms. Loved the real fire. Spacious living/dining area with very well stocked kitchen. Lovely peaceful surroundings. Friendly and helpful hosts.

Quiet location. Near Athy and Carlow. Good facilities, including washing machine and fully functional kitchen. Friendly, well behaved dog. Response host. Plenty of parking.

Great host, and great experience throughout - thank you!

Great beds and linens, showers were wonderful. Everything was pristine, Apartment a little stark with minimal furnishings and dishes, also trains run most of the day and early in the morning, sometimes 5 to 6 an hour so if you need quiet to sleep not for you. Location was easily walkable to shopping and restaurants. Would stay again based on cleanliness and amazing showers
