ABOUT BAYFIELD HOUSE
Bayfield House isn’t your usual holiday rental—it’s our family home, lovingly restored and full of stories.
Sitting right on the edge of the Wild Atlantic Way, in the tiny hamlet of New Quay, it’s a place where time slows down, the views stretch for miles, and every guest becomes part of its history.
This 200-year-old farmhouse has been in our family for generations. Our great-great-grandparents built it, and we’ve spent countless summers here, swimming at New Quay Beach, walking the Flaggy Shore, and gathering around the big dining table. Now, we’re delighted to share it with you.
Welcome Home!
A place to unwind
Bayfield is a proper home. It’s big, comfortable, and full of nooks and crannies where you can curl up with a book or sip a drink while watching the sunset over Galway Bay. There’s a huge, lived-in sitting room with a wood burner, a bright garden room, and a kitchen that’s seen its fair share of stories (and a few baking disasters).
With six bedrooms (including a separate studio annex), there’s space for everyone—whether you’re planning a big family get-together or just need a quiet escape. Out of peak season, we also rent just the ground floor (sleeps six) at a lower rate.
The gardens roll right down towards the bay, with three acres of space to explore. Sit outside with a coffee in the morning, listen to the birds, and just be—it’s that kind of place.
