  • "Good clean accommodation for exploring county Clare."

    . The whole cottage is hard flooring so yu may need slippers or those socks with non slip soles?.... The owners are very helpful and friendly without being intrusive...

  • "Nice host and great accomodation with a top view."

    Best for 4 persons, but 1 or 2 more should also be no Problem. You can do lots of activities from here (jogging, cycling, daily trips to the cliffs, Galway, Limerick, Bunratty, ....)

  • "We had a lovely time staying here with our two children."

    The cottage is spacious and very comfortable with everything we could need. The peace and quiet is something that is hard to equal. Other than the birds or the cows munching there is an amazing silence in the garden. There is lots to do and see in the area. We stayed for a week but could have done with longer. Wonderful beaches, snorkelling, boat trips and sight seeing all with easy distance. We recommend this property highly.

    Great location for touring the area. Quiet and peaceful setting. The host is very welcoming, helpful and answered any queries really quickly. Provided local tourist map and pointed out places we might like to visit as well as info on local restaurants. Would definitely book again if staying in the area.

  • "Mary was a very helpful hostess."

    Cottage was an excellent and quiet base for our holiday in the area, situated on a hill with superb views overlooking the water in the distance. Facilities excellent and cottage extremely comfortable. Conveniently situated for Kilkee, Kilrush and the Shannon Ferry, which we utilised several times to gain access to Kerry.

  • "It is perfect : a stunning view, a marvellous house and a so nice host!"

    The location is very good, between Kilrush and Kilkee (we have appreciate a lot the O'Maras Pub at Kilkee!). The house is very nice, bedrooms are beautiful and beds are very good, the kitchen has a view... you will enjoy to wash the dishes! And Mary, our host, is too nice : we found in the house enough to make the first breakfast and she brought us eggs of her farm! We surely will return in this house, and probably for a week.

  • "The cottage was lovingly restored with many original features retained or restored."

    It was decorated very tastefully and there were lots of nice serving dishes and glasses so we entertained friends one evening. There was a lovely relaxing drawing room with an open fire and the host provided fuel for same. This cottage is great for children as a field out front but without road access to play games and bug hunt! A concrete yard in the back ideal for scooting. The hens and cows also provided more entertainment! As it rained a few days while we were there we were very lucky to have such a nice space to play board games/cards and prepare meals. The hosts were wonderful checked into make sure we had everything we needed, recommended places for swimming and dinner out. They also dropped over homemade brown bread and lemon drizzle cake straight from the oven which was a delight! I would highly recommend this cottage if you want somewhere very peaceful in nature yet only an 8 min drive from hustle and bustle of Kilkee and Kilrush. We will definitely revisit.
