Now, we feature a fair bit of unique accommodation in the where to stay section of this website.
From treehouses on the Wild Atlantic Way with hot tubs to castle Airbnbs and more, we’ve covered a bit of something to tickle most fancies.
Today we’re off to Galway to have a look at a gorgeous little cottage that comes with its very own private pub!
Welcome the very cosy O’Mainnin’s Cottage Bar

You’ll find this little cottage on a quiet property in Glenamaddy, where it’s the perfect escape for couples in search of a night away.
The self-contained cottage has one bedroom, a fully equipped kitchen and spacious lounge area all decorated in a traditional Irish cottage aesthetic.
And, yes, a home bar

Of course, the most unique feature is its built-in bar in the lounge from where you can serve drinks and cosy up by the stove fire.
It’s in a pretty rural area but you’re also just 45 minutes from Galway city and one hour to Sligo, if you want to explore some larger towns and cities.
How the hosts describe it

It comes equipped with a fully fitted kitchen, down stairs toilet and shower room and a spacious Lounge/Bar area. A cosy double bedroom is located on the upper floor of the property.
On arrival guests will be welcomed by hosts and will be given a walk through of the property.’

Hi Keith Any chance of a special on pet friendly places, the quieter, the quaint or beach access would be ideal.

Hey Siobhan!
We've a guide to pet-friendly Airbnbs in Ireland and another on pet-friendly hotels in Ireland.
Hopefully these do the trick!
