With Seachtain na Gaeilge just around the corner, there’s no better time to highlight the magic of Ireland’s Gaeltacht regions, and the incredible places to stay while immersing yourself in the language and culture celebrations from March 1 to 17. 

Airbnb has curated a list of ‘guest favourites’, full of unique and charming accommodations in Gaeltacht areas. With three stunning Mayo properties on the list, these homes are perfect for those looking to experience the heart of Ireland’s Irish-speaking communities.

On the list and pictured below is the incredible Tranquil Cabin with Sea Views in Achill.

This recently renovated wooden cabin on Achill Island offers stunning views of Keel Lough and the Minaun cliffs. The cabin sleeps six guests, and sits on one acre of land at the foot of the Slievemore mountain on Achill Island. Two beautiful beaches are just a short drive away, making it an ideal spot to relax and unwind.

Next up is the cosy and stunning Cummer Cottage that is pictured below. 

This charming cottage is tucked away in the serene foothills of Joyce Country in County Mayo. The three-bedroom home can comfortably fit five people per stay. It is encircled by the picturesque Lough Mask, Lough Corrib, and the smaller Lough Na Fooey. The area offers a variety of outdoor activities, from leisurely walks and challenging hill climbs to fishing and kayaking adventures.

Last but not least, is the gorgeous and traditional Cartron Cottage.

Cartron Cottage, pictured below, was built on a half-acre of ground in 1850, now a welcoming escape for families and friends of up to four people per group. The cottage is situated in the beautiful countryside of Ballintubber in the Barony of Carra, Co Mayo, providing a quiet place to relax after a day of exploring.

Whether guests are travelling internationally or domestically, 'guest favourites' make it easy for guests to find the best place to stay to make the most of their trip.
