“Cottage is superbly located within a few minutes walk of town centre and it's many amenities.”

Wonderful sea views from front of cottage, particularly at sunset. Have stayed here two years running and will be back again.

“Was perfect vacation cottage.”

Nuala and Mike made us feel welcome and were there if we needed anything during our stay. I'd recommend this rental as one of the best. The only thing I would add is operational instructions to the appliances would be helpful. But, regardless I'd rent it again for sure.
Mr Bartram August 2019

“There were lots of good things about Rusheen cottage.”

It was generously equipped with things such as washing machine and dishwasher tablets ( not always the case) and there were teabags, salt and pepper and a few other things in the kitchen cupboard, which was nice. Some holiday cottages are stripped bare before your arrive! Towels were plentiful and the owner kindly offered to replenish them halfway through the holiday, although we did not need her to. The cottage has lovely wooden floors and furniture throughout and a warm ambience. The use of heating is included in the price and we did need to use it to dry our wet clothes and to warm up after rainy outings, of which there were many. We were glad the heating was not metered. The garden was, as described, enclosed and we enjoyed that. After a few days however, our dog realised he could jump over the wall and run off, so we couldn't actually give him the run of the garden as we had hoped. The main disappointment for us was the location of the cottage. Presumably since it was built twenty years ago, a nearby estate of houses has sprung up in front of Rusheen cottage, between the cottage and the sea, so the sea can only be viewed over many modern, identical rooftops. Rusheen Cottage itself is thatched and built of old stone. But it was a shame to find the surrounding area dominated by so many identical and much less attractive new houses. For that reason, we wouldn't go back even though the cottage itself has many good features.

“Excellent location, friendly greetings and a wonderful stay.”

“We had a wonderful stay at Rusheen Cottage.”

Nuala and Michael, the owners, are so welcoming and accommodating. Michael built the cottage himself. Such a talented man! Lahinch is a beautiful place and the cottage is situated perfectly with sea views. Would highly recommend.

“Cottage is ideally located, only a short walk to beach, shops, bars etc.”

Also within a short drive from many tourist attractions, stunning scenery and famous Burden landscape.
Mrs Fisher October 2018

“1) All of the beds were horribly uncomfortable.”

2) The electric fireplace was a disappointment--we wanted a real fire as we've had in other cottage rentals. 3) The Jesus picture with automatic red light under it was disturbing, and would not return to this cottage for this reason alone. Otherwise, the property was gorgeous and the kitchen well appointed. The location and views spectacular.
Mr Oates September 2018

“My family members, friends and I spent a most pleasant holiday in this beautiful cottage throughout September, and enjoyed every minute of it.”

This was the view held by each one of us. Our hosts, Nuala nd Michael were most congenial, supportive and made us feel 'at home' immediately. Their local knowledge was also invaluable which they readily shared. Rusheen is ideally located to obtain the very best of Irish culture in traditional music, poetry and folklore sung and spoken in both Gaelic and English in Lahinch and in several other surrounding towns. It is also close to many beautiful internationally famous landscapes, such as The Cliffs of Moher, The Aran Islands, The Burren, Doolan Caves and Loop Head. Golf, fishing, surfing, walking and horse-riding are all local options, not to mention good food and beverage from several hospitable venues. Shannon International Airport, Galway and Limerick are only just over an hours drive away. This cottage and its location has a great deal going for it and we hope to be back there again in the future.

“The bed downstairs was extremely soft and uncomfortable and we kept rolling into the middle.”

The sheets wouldn't stay on the bed. The shower downstairs kept changing from scalding hot to freezing cold even though I was not even touching it. The shower upstairs was better. There weren't any extra blankets so we pulled one off the bed upstairs to warm ourselves while sitting on the couch. The downstairs bathroom had barely any toilet paper left, and there were no extra rolls. We pulled some from the bathroom upstairs but it had a single roll too. There was a ripped opened bag of coffee in the cupboard - no idea how old it was - that only had one tablespoon left. The decor was very odd...I can't even call it eclectic. Just random stuff to cover the walls and shelves that didn't match or look like it belonged in a cute Irish cottage. The place simply was not warm and inviting as you would expect a cottage to be. And though it's cute on the outside, it doesn't even seem to belong where it is located among these other houses. On a positive side, it was clean, easy for check in, and in a convenient location to see the touristy sights. We were disappointed in our 2 night stay, but thankfully we stayed at another Sykes cottage later on in our trip that was much better.

“The cottage was perhaps a little end of season tired.”

Only little things such as threadbare towels, sheet that no longer fitted snugly on downstairs bed, cracks in some of the bowls. Grass was also too long for children to play on and given the weather we had a tumble dryer would have been useful. However it was very comfortable, warm and in a convenient situation. Finally, we have become used to a little welcome pack of local produce and a vase of flowers, at home and abroad; not necessary I know but a nice touch and welcome, especially when you arrive about six hours later because of ferry delays (we wouldn't use the Swift again, it was cancelled going and ran slow coming back!).

“Glorious in sunshine, cosy when windy and rainy.”

Rusheen was quaint, very clean and very well equipped and maintained. We were myself, husband and daughter (aged 37). We arrived on an early flight, got our hire car from Avis, who were, by the way, were very good. The manager of the cottage was very helpful and texted us as soon as the cottage was ready, so already plus points. We all slept extremely well in the very comfortable beds. We were there to visit friends, when they came to visit it us, the kitchen dining area coped very well, plenty of plates and cutlery, with a very good chinese takeaway from the Pearl Garden. We had one very good sunny day, so we took advantage and had lunch outside, enjoying the excellent views of the bay in the distance. Garden chairs were available in the utility room, again another plus. Weather then turned, but we were very cosy. Just a couple of points, if walking back from town in the dark, you really need a torch for the last bit up the track. The living room would benefit from a lamp for better lighting. Yes we would recommend Rusheen Cottage and if available would return.

“un cottage de charme très bien placé”

Un très joli cottage typiquement irlandais, très bien équipé, situé un peu en hauteur avec superbe vue sur la mer. La propriétaire très accueillante. Les draps de bains sont fournis ce qui évite de se charger, propreté irréprochable et décor chaleureux. Une salle de bains/wc attenante à la chambre du bas, et une autre aux 2 chambres du haut. La cuisine est bien équipée, manquerait une poêle un peu plus grande. Calme et à quelques minutes à pied du centre du village et ses commerces, de la superbe plage et du golf. Tout est fait pour y passer un excellent séjour. Locations de vélos et car à proximité pour se rendre aux villages pittoresques tels que Doolin, Enistymon, les falaises de Moher et le site étonnant de Burren etc...
