Ireland Cottages | Places to Stay in Ireland

April 24, 2023 Karren Gelb

Woven with wild greenery and Gaelic legends, the Emerald Isle is one of Europe’s most prized jewels. Rugged Atlantic beaches and mystery-shrouded sites rub shoulders with the cosmopolitan cities of Belfast and Dublin, where literary history and warm Irish hospitality are always in abundance.

Glencarrig B&B

Mary’s place takes the biscuit (and the cake)

Reviewed By Munrosaxman

Mary is the perfect host at Glen Carrig. She greeted us (two grizzled bikers) with warmth and enthusiasm. The rooms are spacious, well equipped and warm. There are plenty of facilities, such as a games room, although we didn’t use it. Her porter cake which she gave us for our travels the next day was delicious, as is her famed sticky toffee pudding. We had a super breakfast in convivial company with a Polish lady and her cousin. Mary’s baking is legendary and it’s a place I’d love to come back to. parking is super-safe there. It’s a bit too far to walk into Carigaholt, so take a car or bike to the Long Dock for dinner. Great stay in a a very friendly place with lovely views of the Shannon (and the best baking in Ireland). Did I mention the baking?

Ardcrone House

Lovely stay in Dungloe with Sea View

Reviewed By EmeraldIsle1703

We did not find the place straight away, and the lady was very kind to guide us over the phone to her house. (After the Waterfront Hotel from the village, to the left, where the yellow and red wall is). The house is very nice, and the room was absolutely lovely, with sea view, very well decorated and very clean. We had a lovely chat with the lady about Slieve League in the morning after breakfast (very generous breakfast) and her 2 cats are adorable. We would happily stay there on our next visit! Thank you so much!

The Dream Vacation

From the beautiful morning sunrise to the amazing views from the Cliffs of Moher, Doolin is a very special place. The Wild Atlantic Breeze Guesthouse made my family and I feel at home in a quite, beautiful location with amazing views and peacefulness for miles. It was truly a perfect vacation. The rooms were clean, and the owners were some of the nicest people I've ever met. Absolutely will be staying here again.

At the top of the hill with that beautiful view of the channel. A nice walk by a creek down to the town center for shopping and restaurants. Hosts are quiet, gentle people. It was a great stay on our bicycling tour. Nice hot English breakfast in the morning.

A Wee Bit of Heaven

Reviewed By DeenaCarolS

After a three-year delay due to the pandemic, we finally arrived at The Cottages. They exceeded our expectations with cozy accommodations in updated 300 yr-old cottages, beautiful gardens, and views, and an easy walk to the Irish Sea where I found "Wishing Stones" for our three grandkids. The Cottages are nestled between Bettystown and Laytown which has easy access to public transportation (buses) and trains (Belfast & Dublin). Since we did not have a car, this was a plus! Liz & Roger Pickett, owners of the Cottages, and their staff create a warm, inviting environment. We hated to leave!

Hen party May 2022

Reviewed By Cooper2811

There are few occasions when I am stuck for words but it is extremely difficult to find the words to describe Riverrun cottages.. wow, wow, wow!!!!!!!!! From the moment I contacted Geraldine to book a hen party group in until the moment we left today we were treated to over and above 5 star luxury, in all aspects! The smallest of details were thought of, everything we possibly could have wanted was available in the houses. The food.... OMG!!!!!!!!! We had supper freshly prepared on our arrival, continental breakfast the 1st morning, Afternoon tea with prosecco that day and a full Irish breakfast on the 2nd morning. The relaxed vibe of Geraldine, Cara and the girls who are absolutely dedicated to the guests spilled over into creating a relaxed weekend for everyone...if you are thinking about staying in the Riverrun, do not give it a 2nd thought; go for it; you wont be sorry!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well equipped and great view

Reviewed By Rob G

We stayed at the Atlantic View Cottages in unit 7, we were 4 adults and a 7 year old. It was very comfortable and has most amenities required and well stocked. I think the only thing we missed was oven gloves.

Courtyard Irish Holiday Cottages

Weekend delight

Reviewed By oonaghd2022

My family and I have been staying at the Courtyard Cottages almost every year since 2009 and over the years it has become more like our second home. What's not to like about the CC? The warm welcome from Myra, the comfort of the Cottages, beautifully decorated in shades of soft grey. A proper working kitchen, freshly laundered crisp cotton sheets and large fluffy towels. As Coeliacs we were delighted with the gorgeous loaf of gluten free brown bread awaiting us as part of the welcome package. It is this attention to detail on Myra's part that makes you feel so at home. My daughter and I took a mini break at the weekend, despite orange warnings and a howling gale, with heavy rain on Saturday night, we never heard any of it, snug and securely cosy in our lovely cottage. The only downside was having to leave on Monday morning. We are heading back for a week in May and looking forward toward to it immensely. When you find somewhere like the Courtyard Cottages, you don't pass by. You keep coming back!
