The Merchant's House

We had a truly wonderful stay at this beautifully renovated holiday apartment, styled with exquisite vintage charm.

Every corner is thoughtfully curated, from the lovely furniture pieces to the unique pictures/paintings and ornaments — each one adding to the apartment’s character and warmth. The kitchen and pantry were excellently equipped, making it easy to prepare meals just like at home. The collection of old books was a delightful touch, perfect for unwinding in such a cozy atmosphere. We were also lucky to enjoy fantastic, sunny weather throughout our stay, so we didn’t miss having a tumble dryer or even watching TV — we were too busy soaking up the sunshine ! A special mention to Paul, the owner, who was incredibly responsive and attentive. It was a pleasure to meet him at check-out as well — such a great host. This place is a true gem for anyone who appreciates vintage style combined with modern comforts. Highly recommended !

Received such a warm and informative welcome from Paul the owner, I loved my stay at this property.

Such a comfortable home and I love the personal historic family photos on display in the stairwell, gives the house such a warm personal vibe. Can't recommend it and the town highly enough.

Our stay was way beyond our expectations.

We loved our stay there and would love to return someday

We have to say the merchants house was a great place to stay in a great location people were very welcoming would definitely recommend Mr moore

Lovey quirky restored Georgian property, full of character and the house and Kilrush a great base for exploring West Co.

Beautiful house, fabulous period features with all mod cons, lovely stay, recommend to everyone, thank you.

Staying in the Merchant's house was a beautiful experience, it felt so calm, homely and charming.

There is a lovely atmosphere in the house and we cannot wait to book again as soon as we can, it is a perfect place to stay, has everything you would need, really quiet despite its central location in town. The stairs to the first floor is a bit steep and the thread's a bit short so caution needed. We really loved it, Paul and family were so helpful, the very best of people and a fabulous house and stay.

Great location and people.

Just aa few niggles that lets it down like freezer was all frosted up still with food in, condition of some kitchen equipment past its best.. Otherwise great place.

We loved our stay!

The property was very comfortable and well equipped. Our bed was so comfortable and we had everything we needed. I enjoyed the apartment so much I just wanted to stay in and relax . Thank you!

Good place to stay for exploring County Clare and the coastal drive is lovely.

Unfortunately some local pubs/restaurants weren’t open during our stay but we found some nice places to eat nevertheless - and all within walking distance to the property. Hospitality and service everywhere was outstanding.

A wonderful townhouse centrally located on the west coast's "Wild Atlantic Way" The house was clean and tidy with all of the facilities as advertised.

Paul proved to be a great host who couldn't do enough for us. The house is within stumbling (hic) distance of at least 2 pubs which serve food and is conveniently located for shops in the town centre. Despite it's town centre location the area felt quiet and relaxed with minimal traffic noise in the evenings. Everyone we met was friendly and welcoming and we would be happy to stay there again!

Great place to stay We really enjoyed our stay at the Merchant's House.

Really good location in the centre of Kilrush. Great evenings at Crotty's and Buggles for Irish music. We covered the coast from Galway to the Dingle peninsula. Also went to the Aran Isles-beautiful and fascinating. A really good meal at P.Morrissey's in Doonbeg. We liked Kilrush, Kilkee, Galway, Limerick, Kinvarra, Ballyheigue, the Burren, the cliffs of Moher and the cave at Doolin. A great holiday with a great base at Kilrush. A lovely, comfortable place to stay. Thanks to Paul and the family. We would definitely stay here again.

Merchants House provided us with a great base to see Clare.

Paul was extremely helpful with helping us have a very memorable experience of traveling around Ireland. Thank you

We found this accomodation to be far above what we had anticipated and as a result it was a home rather than holiday accomodation.

It is central to the Kilrush town and only a very short walk to the local facilities such as pubs, butchers, cafes,,etc. There is an excellent Italian restaurant just around the corner. The only issue of access is the stairs which older persons should consider. We would not hesitate to return there when we come back possibly next year. The owner Paul was always available by phone and provided all information in the most friendly manner.

An old, beautifully restored apartment with local atmosphere in a lovely Irish town.

Very friendly host with a great knowledge of the history of the town.

The merhant's House has been sympathetically restored but with all the modern conveniences we now expect. Fabulous area to explore both locally and a bit further afield. Nice friendly town and pubs.

Owner of property and his family are extremely friendly and helpful.

They are the kind of people you would want as friends in any situation. This made the holiday that much more enjoyable! Great time for sure!

Wonderful house to stay in, very clean,spacious and you felt that you could experience the history of Kilrush.

The owner Paul and his family were very approachable, friendly and gave us a real Irish welcome.My teenagers enjoyed their daily run to Cappagh and shopping in the local bakery, sweet shops and listening to traditional live Irish music in the street and at Crotty's pub. A holiday we will always remember.
