Cottage vacation rentals in Connacht

Grace's house was a real treat! Nestled away in the trees overlooking the river made it feel so private and peaceful. The house itself was so cosy, clean and inviting but had plenty of space and different areas to relax. The grounds were amazing and the kids had a ball discovering the swings, hottub and reading shed. The whole place was magical and we were sad to leave. Grace was very responsive to any communication and made us feel so welcome. The house location was a great base for some of the stunning sights Donegal has to offer and we were very close to many beautiful sandy beaches. This house was the best airbnb we have ever stayed in! We can't wait to come back, thanks so much Grace

My partner, doggy and myself had an incredible time at Catrionas. We stayed for two nights and sat in both evenings and enjoyed the amenities. Catriona has three lovely dogs and so many cute farm animals - we were lucky enough to see baby bell as a 3 week old lamb. Most importantly Catriona was very accommodating of our dog who can be a bit funny (being very kind), she was a great host. Her place is the most perfect tranquil piece of heaven! Would recommend it to everyone :)

Absolutely stunning location, beautiful scenery and so private and peaceful. Excellent location for visiting the cliffs and beaches. The local pub offers great food and wonderful atmosphere. Everyone we encountered was extremely friendly. Patrick was a very responsive host and easy to deal with.

The BEST Airbnb we have ever stayed at. Eamonn is the most gracious host. communication was excellent- the best we have ever experienced by a host. He takes pride in his gorgeous cottage. we loved spending our family time there with the most stunning views. The cottage has everything you need and its all TOP class! like a 5 star hotel yet feels like a secluded luxury home! Can't wait to come back!

We had a great stay at this Airbnb. The space was very clean, and the bed was very comfortable. The wood-burning hot tub was a highlight—though it took about 2–3 hours of tending the fire to heat up, it was incredibly relaxing once ready. The surrounding ponds added a peaceful, scenic touch, and we really enjoyed walking around the area. Peter was a responsive and helpful host, especially when I accidentally left something behind—he kindly let me return to pick it up. Overall, a lovely and memorable stay.

We had a truly wonderful stay at this charming cottage. The location is absolutely perfect—peaceful, quiet, and surrounded by beautiful countryside. It was the ideal spot to relax and unwind, with nature right at our doorstep. The cottage itself was cozy, clean, and thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed. It felt like a real home away from home. Our host Mairead was fantastic— She made sure we had everything we needed and had the turf fire lit on our arrival. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. Highly recommended for anyone looking to experience the beauty and tranquility of Donegal!

Wow, where to start?!! Irene just made everything possible. If you need it, she has it. You wanna go where? She knows. So eager to share her space and her favorite places, near or far. Seated right in the middle of nowhere enough for silence & privacy. If what you need is solitude for days, you can have that too. Irene is very sensitive to her guests’ needs. I loved my time there. I learned a LOT. 🤍

was a very nice place for a trip away and Barry was very helpful before and during the trip .

Perfect hideaway location! The house is stunning and so peaceful. Conor is a lovely host. Would absolutely recommend!

We had such an amazing stay! The house was so cozy, we immediately felt at home! Such beautiful surroundings, a very peaceful place! The hosts were very kind, helpful and responsive! Definitely recommend booking with them! We hope to be back as soon as we can!!

We absolutely loved our stay at the cottage. Such an incredibly beautiful and peaceful location. We were so sad to leave and will definitely be back. Thank you Gary

We spent 5 nights in Rory's cottage and loved it. We felt right at home. The cottage is cozy, spacious and bright. It is surrounded by nature and is located in a very quiet and pleasant setting. Rory and Breda provided everything you need to cook and stay in the comfort of home: nothing was missing! and the view is breathtaking. Upon our arrival, Breda had fresh milk and scones ready for us: not everyone does that and we were very pleased to find them. Their local recommendations were very helpful. It was a very nice experience and we will definitely be back!

We had such a nice time staying at the cottage. It was so peaceful, right in nature. Daragh was very kind and gave us a lift to the shops which was really nice. The cottage was perfect and felt very homely.

We had such a lovely few days in this gorgeous cottage. The views are just fab and Theresa couldn’t have been more helpful. We hope to return soon.

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!

great place to get away from it all, lovely patio to eat on when the sun shines. great area for walking. hope to get back again for longer

Our stay at James and Ciara's was just wonderful. As soon as we arrived there were so many thoughtful, luxurious touches that made all the difference after a long day of travel, from lovely smelling diffusers and candles and a roaring fire in the woodburner, to fancy Aesop hand soap and the comfiest pillows and mattress ever. There was also a welcome basket containing some treats such as wine and chocolate and Ciara's incredible homemade Irish soda bread. This is the kind of stuff that really makes a difference when staying in an Airbnb! The place was also spotlessly clean and everything was of very high quality. From the get go their communication was super prompt and friendly, nothing was too much trouble, always offering help, advice and recommendations. J&C are some of the nicest and warmest people you'll ever meet. We also got to meet some of their animals which our daughter LOVED, and the setting and outlook from the cottage is just beautiful. One of the best Airbnbs out there!

Lovely house in the centre of the town. And a private area to sit outside at the back of the throne house. Really appreciated that MJ left milk, a a few beers and some chocolate bars for us

Martina’s cottage was everything we hoped for and more! The terrace, courtyard and scenery were so peaceful and inviting. The kitchen had all that we needed to prepare meals each night, the home was very clean, and the beds were comfortable. Martina was so friendly and accommodating — she even offered to pick up an SD card for us while she was in town, which we thought was so kind. If you’re visiting the area, I highly recommend staying here!

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.

Our favorite place on the whole trip. Absolutely enchanting setting in a stunningly beautiful area. Michael and his family were the best of hosts, welcoming and responsive. If you’re looking for the beautiful soul of Conamarra, this is your place.

David and Tina's little cottage was in a wonderful location and well situated for the Wild Atlantic Way points such as Slieve League and Killibegs. Killibegs is just a short drive from Puffin Lodge and has a variety of places to eat. Tina recommended the best of these on our arrival. Puffin Lodge is very well equiped and cosy, whatever the weather. Hopefully the weather will be suitable for a dip in the sea from David and Tina's private beach!

Our family of 4, from Boston, thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Doolin. We loved experiencing the pubs, the restaurants, the shops and especially the scenery. The accommodations were perfect for us. Super comfy beds, cozy living room and view of the cows made it extra special.

nice and cozy cottage by the sea
