Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Cork

We originally booked this listing in May of 2020, but sadly were not able to make the trip due to Covid. 5 years later we finally got to stay int he lighthouse and it was well worth the wait! It was truly a magical experience, with breathtaking views and so many special little details in the house to make it feel like home. We spent 10 days in Ireland and this was the highlight of our trip!

What a wonderful, cozy place with fantastic garden and water views! Extremely convenient as a base while exploring nearby areas. Very nice touches with fresh flowers, bread and wine! Hope we are lucky enough to return someday! Thank you Gavin!

great lil spot. I travelled with a todler he had loads of space to run around especially with the back garden. room was child friendly. having a fridge and bit really helped. Sylwia was just a text away if we had any questions. directions to the house before hand were brilliant to help find it. Just 10 minutes from fota wild life park perfect location for exploring.

Amiee’s boathouse was a wonderful place to stay in. One of the best AirBnBs I’ve been in. Everything in the picture is exactly how it is when you get there. Checking in was easy and the drive was beautiful. This place is perfect for couples that want to be in a secluded place but close enough to other towns nearby. Perfect location for hiking and walking. Amiee was an excellent host. She makes you feel like you are right at home. I could tell she was very thoughtful on the boathouse’s presentation. She left us some homemade jam and recommendations for other activities as well. Looking forward to coming back! 😊❤️

A lovely cottage in a pretty location. We walked to the bridge in the evenings looking for wildlife. There wasn't a great deal the week we were there. The cottage was clean, had everything you needed and more. A nice big bed and good shower. Adrian replied quickly and was always available if needed. We loved our week in Fisherman's cottage.

This was our second time staying at Brigit’s and this time we made sure the whole family came along with Jim our dog. The most beautiful and magical place that we all enjoyed so much. We will be back again!

Our second time as one week just isn't enough. Such a comfortable house and fabulous hosts. It's even better than the photos. Can recommend in a heartbeat.

Had a great stay at Karen's. Ideal location only a few minutes from Schull

Wonderful little studio apartment to stay in if you're in the area. Close to some lovely places and stocked with everything you need to live well. Sam and his family were incredibly friendly as well, always offering their support.

Gina's bee-themed apartment was a great place for our one-night stay in Blarney. This is one of the most well-equipped Airbnb's we have ever stayed at - this place has everything you will need - all the appliances, spotless and clean, and the kitchen and fridge are well-stocked for a great breakfast. Gina was very nice and came out to meet us even at the late hour of our arrival. It's a pity we were here for just one night - we would have loved to stay here longer!

For adventurous travelers looking for an experience rather than merely a place to stay, this place and location has a lot to offer. After staying at chalets and places convenient for one night stops, it was fun to drive through Glengariff Nature Preserve through the winding roads up into the hilltop location surrounded by woods with openings looking out over the beautiful hilly terrain. Chopping wood to heat the small apartment heightened the feeling of living as one of the locals for a while. We appreciated Gesine’s helpful notes to get there and enjoyed chatting with her about life in this peaceful place. While day trips taking the ferry to Garnish Island or driving over Caha Pass to Killarney National Park were nice, we are glad we took advantage of the location and spent time away from tourist-filled areas to enjoy quiet, peaceful hikes along the nearby Riverwalk and through some of Pooleen Woods. This was a great addition to our first-time travel experience in Ireland!

We have just returned from a 2 night stay in Kinsale. Kinsale had been recommended by everyone we know who has visited Ireland and we were not disappointed. The studio flat was ideal for us and had everything we needed including a very comfortable bed at the end of a busy day. Enjoyed Kinsale a lot from the music in the pubs to the quaint shopping and enjoying an evening drink overlooking the harbour. We were fed so much food while in Ireland for 16 nights that somehow I managed to resist the icecream shop across the street!! We stayed on a Sunday night and Monday night and we did find that quite a few restaurants do not open on one or both of these evenings so we advise booking ahead and some have online booking. Luckily we found a hotel (The Trident) that would accept us as a walk-in on the Sunday evening though it was Fathers Day so it was very busy. Many thanks to Rory for the clear instructions on everything.

Mary was a true delight and the space was ideal for travellers. All the comforts of home and extremely comfortable. Highly recommend!

Gerard is a great host and really goes the extra mile to make the stay easy and comfortable. The place is in a stunning location overlooking a beautiful lake.

Clean, cute, and cozy! This was an ideal spot for a great starting point into the Ring of Kerry. Wish we could’ve stayed longer!

We had a fablous stay at Gems apartment, it was very comfortable,cozy, very clean, very well equipped and tastefully decorated throughout, lots of extras; marshmallows for hot chocolate, ice in the freezer, make up remover to name but a few. Lovely quiet area and great location. Brendan very kindly provded a taxi service to the concert we were going to. Gem was warm and welcoming and very helpful, we would highly recommend! Thank you

A “must” to stay at! Julie was the ultimate host! Any request was not an issue for her. The place was spotlessly clean, with easy to use amenities. It looked lovely and it felt lovely! We did not want for anything! It was an easy 30 minute stroll to the town centre too. Highly recommended!

Our stay was great! The place was very clean and centrally located within Clonakilty. We spent a night in the Brewery Bar below…great time with local people. Camilla provided with us with some nice starter food…much appreciated! Just be careful of a couple low doorways:) Would stay here again!

We really loved this gorgeous little cabin . It was so tastefully furnished and immaculate . The bread butter and milk left for us were a lovely touch too. Easy parking ,great little outside space and very quiet and private .

We had a wonderful stay with Noreen, perfect location to get to Clonakilty and other lovely Cork towns. The local knowledge that Noreen provided was amazing and we had everything we needed and more. Would highly recommend staying at this property!

An excellent stay! This was a great home base while visiting the Skelligs - a quiet spot but still an easy walk into Cahersiveen, and a short drive to Portmagee where most of the boats leave from. The space was very clean and just as described. The unit is downstairs from a larger home, but felt fully separate and I didn’t hear a peep from anyone else in the building. Having both laundry and the kitchen was convenient - both worked well and were nicely stocked. John was also quickly responsive to any questions. Overall, no complaints at all and highly recommend a stay here if in the area!

Lovely coastal home with beautiful views. The hike was cozy and private. I would definitely recommend this location and would come back for another stay.

A beautiful location — on the water; close to the Heritage Museum and good restaurants; well appointed and extremely comfortable. We loved our host and location.

This is a rural splendour. Private, secluded and relaxing. All the amenities and so much more, highly recommend.
