Large Holiday Houses in County Galway

County Galway, on Ireland’s rugged west coast, is where the Atlantic meets the raw edge of Connemara’s boglands, mountains, and lakes. Galway city offers a vibrant counterpoint with its pubs, live music, and market stalls, while the surrounding county stretches out into quiet fishing villages, sprawling sheep-dotted fields, and craggy shoreline. The Aran Islands are a short ferry ride away, and Connemara National Park lies to the north, offering space to roam and views that go on for miles.

County Galway is ideal for extended family gatherings, milestone birthday trips, wedding parties, school or university reunions, and groups of friends travelling together. 

Stay here for access to Dog’s Bay near Roundstone, where white sand and turquoise waters look more Caribbean than Irish. Visit Kylemore Abbey and walk the walled Victorian gardens. Explore the Twelve Bens for mountain hikes, or take a boat out from Clifden for sea fishing. Galway city’s Latin Quarter has cobbled streets lined with buskers, oysters, and pubs serving Guinness to the soundtrack of trad music. In quieter corners like Kinvara or Spiddal, you’ll find pottery studios, thatched cottages, and the sound of Irish spoken in daily life.
