Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Leinster

We stayed two nights at Natalie’s cottage and it was so relaxing and peaceful. The cottage was pristine, and had everything we could need. It is in a great location to various sights and hikes. Natalie is a great host!

Hi Louise, thanks again for everything at the house this week. Yours and Michael’s place is very special, and we all enjoyed the animals and garden as much as we had hoped. Good luck with all you are doing here!

Lovely quiet two night stay in Orlaith's cottage. Beautiful peaceful surroundings, with lots of walks and things to do around. Orlaith (and Buddy the dog) were extremely welcoming and helpful. The cottage is a great size and has everything you need.

Such a nice place, would definitely stay again.

As a solo traveller I felt safe in the cottage and in Skerries. This cottage is such a beautiful peace of Ireland and I was grateful to stay. Hoping to return next year.

I absolutely loved my stay at the lodge. It really is the most gorgeous place and is surrounded by woodland to one side and rolling hills to the other. I needed somewhere to escape to for a relaxing weekend away and this couldn’t have been more perfect - it’s so cosy, comfortable and the attention to detail is just wonderful - it felt like home (a very beautifully styled version of home) and I didn’t want to leave. The gardens are lovely too - lots of different spots to relax and enjoy the sunshine and the sound of the birds and the river. Ken was a lovely host - he organised some food and drink for me for when I arrived so that I didn’t have to worry about shopping. He shared recommendations of things to do and checked in with me during my stay to make sure all was ok. I really did feel thoroughly spoilt!

Our stay at River Cottage felt less like checking into an Airbnb and more like stepping into Anna and Luke’s thoughtfully curated retreat. Nestled beside a usually gentle stream, the cottage offered a rare kind of quiet. We found ourselves unwinding in ways we hadn’t expected. As if the place itself were helping us silence the usual rush of thoughts. The sauna and cold plunge, discreetly positioned at the water’s edge, added a touch of simple luxury. They blended seamlessly into the natural surroundings rather than standing out as flashy extras, even when lit up at night. We explored the surrounding area by car and found Sligo to be the perfect complement to the cottage’s peaceful seclusion. My wife and I already feel drawn back to this little slice of Ireland - eager for another chance to recharge in the calm that Anna and Luke have created. We’re also looking forward to seeing their next ideas come to life.

Very well furnished house, amazing views of the Irish Sea. Wonderful & proactive host. We highly recommend.

Jim's place was everything we hoped for. Jim is such a kind, friendly man who makes you feel so welcome. We loved browsing Jim's many collections & meeting all his animals. The outside seating area was a huge bonus & as the weather was so good, we could have happily spent our day there. We only had 2 nights at Jim's but really hope to come back sometime and spend longer there

Our stay here was head and shoulders above any place we have stayed in before. The hosts were genuine in their welcome. The place spotless and had all we needed. It is truly hard to fault. Incredibly good value compared to other places in the area

We had a lovely time at Caroline's place, it had everything we needed.. very cozy.. comfortable bed and a very peaceful nights sleep.. thanks Caroline!

We had a fabulous few days staying at The Stables. Breda and Joe have a lovely country property. We love the goodie left for us from Breda. Scones and bread both home made. The cottage is so well equipped with most things you’d need to get by but a Centra only a few minutes away has lots of options. The bed was so comfortable as were the pillows and the fluffiest feather doona. The cottage is heated but we felt we didn’t need heating on as it’s very warm inside anyway but great if it turns cold. A bonus is the washer and dryer, we’d not been able to wash for several day so felt like all home comforts were covered. We loved the kitchen and dining area, great for preparing our meals. Breda has a vegetable and herb garden which she was happy for us to use, I made good use of salad stuff and herb. We got to meet Joe who was brings the horses back into the sheds, we got to see an 8 day old foal, such a highlight for me coming from Australia’s beach scene. We highly this place Fiona

Vivienne was very friendly and accommodating. She went out of her way to make sure we were settled and comfortable and was very happy to help with suggestions for things to do in the surrounding area. We had a lovely visit

Beautiful place that had everything we needed. Quiet location that was well situated for us to go enjoy outdoor activities. Lovely hosts, and sweet pups. Thank you so much for hosting us!

Herbert was a wonderful host. Place was beautiful.

Family with kids stayed at Bridget’s for a week. When we arrived, Bridget greeted us out front with home-baked biscuits and bread and a fresh bowl of fruit. The home had a back patio which made it convenient for our kids to play outside. It was clutter free and easy to maintain cleanliness (especially with kids). It also had space in front of the unit to play and walk around in grass and with flowers. Bridget was kind and responsive throughout the trip. She provided us with a pack n play and high chair. She also had eating utensils for little kids available. The home was easy to feel comfortable in and we would certainly book again. Only heads up (that has nothing to do with the actual booking) is being prepared for winding roads leading to the Airbnb. Don’t ride in the back of the car if you have motion sickness.

Had the best few nights here. Maria was so lovely and welcoming. The views were amazing and the place was spotless. We loved feeding the ducks and playing with the puppy. Can’t wait to come back

Absolutely beautiful place, felt really homely and had everything we needed. Maureen was extremely warm, helpful and accommodating.

Lovely accommodation and very friendly, helpful hosts. Definitely stay again.

Lovely property, especially the shower room. Nice and cosy, would ideally suit a couple but we had 4 adults and there wasn’t an issue. Cormac was a great host, even when I had to ring him at 7:30 on a Saturday morning after locking a phone in the property

Wonderful peaceful retreat outside of Dublin. It had everything we needed. We loved the surroundings. The hosts were so friendly and responsive!

Glady's was the perfect host and so welcoming. She was in touch with us and answered any questions we had regarding the location and check in instructions. We had a wedding in The Heritage Hotel in Portarlington and the location was perfect.

2nd time staying at Elaine's en route to/from ferry while bikepacking. The suite is spacious, bright and very nicely furnished in a peaceful location. Elaine leaves a generous array of tasty breakfast options which is particularly appreciated when leaving early to make transport connections. Highly recommended and I will be returning.

We had such a lovely time at the Creamery House. The view is absolutely breathtaking, and it was such a treat to wake up to that kind of beauty. We were lucky to spot bunnies, a cat, and lots of birds during our stay, which our daughter loved. The beach is just a couple of minutes away on foot, and the landscape all around is stunning. The outdoor space was peaceful and perfect for relaxing, and the house itself was really cosy, comfortable, and tastefully furnished. It felt like a true escape, and we'd love to come back! Valentina
