Staycation: 5 incredible Airbnbs in Ireland to check out for the perfect getaway

C'mon summer, counting on you.

We may not be able to jet off for on sun-soaked holidays this year, but there’s some good news: there’s no shortage of hidden gems in Ireland, which would be perfect for a lovely holiday. So, we’ve rounded up 5 amazing Airbnbs that are definitely worth checking out for your staycation this year.

The Gatelodge in Killoscully, Tipperary

This gorgeous cottage looks like something out of a fairytale — and we’re totally in love. Suitable for three guests, with a minimum stay of two nights, this is one you’ll want to book quickly as the available days are going fast.

Cuckoo Wood Hexagon in Westport, Mayo

The hexagon hut is on its own land — half orchard, half woodland — and is located about 5 km from Westport. With a nice view over the natural environment, with wild life and low key farming, it’s no wonder that it’s booked up for the remainder of the summer (but there are plenty of days in September and beyond available).

Draiocht (Magic) House in Boyle, Roscommon

Calling all Harry Potter fans — talk about a dream getaway (and you won’t have to use floo powder to get there). Suitable for seven — yes, seven — guests, each of the bedroom has a theme that touches on the wonderful world of witchcraft and wizardry. You can read more about it here.

The Lodge @ Hushabye Farm in Laois

Not only do you have the chance to stay in a gorgeous stone cottage (in an equally as stunning location), but you can spend time with a cuddly alpaca, too. They have availability from September onwards, so it’s an ideal spot if you’re looking for a gorgeous getaway in the autumn.

Off-Grid Donegal eco-Cottage near Port, Donegal

The ocean-edge home is offbeat, off-grid, and very nearly off the map — and surrounded by absolutely breathtaking landscape. Seriously, just look at those views.
