Limestone Cottage

The accommodation was excellent.

The host had supplied everything you could wish for. Contacting the host was simple and had quick responses. A beautiful relaxing holiday home.

We had a great time at Limestone cottage, it was cosy and clean and in a great location, we will definitely return!

Lovely stay as usual

A very comfortable cottage, beautifully presented in the heart of The Burren.

It’s a very quiet location but Carran is situated close enough to visit all the major destinations by car and a brilliant place for exploring on foot. Limestone Cottage was very much a home from home and communication with the owner was first class. Cassidy’s bar and restaurant had reopened (Sept 2025) and was a short walk from the cottage. Overall we were very happy to have stayed at this property and would happily visit again.

Limestone Cottage is in a beautiful location, ideal for walking and visits to the coast nearby.

Only there for a few days, but found the house comfortable and clean. Helpful instructions are provided and the owner kindly left some provisions for us.

A lovely cottage, spacious for a family of three, very comfortable with all practicalities including washing machine, dryer and a cabinet freezer.

Ample parking, on a well used road but still a quiet and peaceful setting. We were able to find walks from the door, the Carran loop for a full day and shorter evening walks. Burren Perfumery is also close by and worth a visit. If you are able to walk up on to the limestone pavements, the wild flowers are absolutely incredible. Very central base for exploring the area. The Flaggy Shore is great for birdwatching; easy walk from Doolin to the northern areas of Moher; Avalla Farm Loop is lovely, watch out for the goats! We stocked up on shopping before we arrived, but noticed some smaller convenience stores at Corofin and Ballyvaughan. Thank you to Therese for an amazing week - we need to come back as more to explore and Mullaghmore still to climb…

Property was very clean, very tidy and well presented with good provision of all kitchen equipment etc.

The beds and bedrooms and toilets / bathrooms all great. No smells or issues with odours. Good job on the recycling. Location is on a fairly busy rural road with relatively fast cars, over the speed limit I would say. Not perfdct for young family and there is limited to no play area as the back area is small. There are no shops for at least 12-15 Km. Plan for that in the day. What could be nice to improve. It was breezy around the house, a small mid height fenced area to stop breeze so you can sit out would help for late afternoon / evening. We found WiFi and mobile phone service are very weak overall but I guess that’s not really a big issue.

A lovely cottage in a beautiful setting.

The cottage was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed. We'd definitely recommend this cottage.

Been 3 times already.

..and booked for 2025!!!!

I fell in love with Limestone Cottage as soon as we opened the door.

The owner had thought of every possible thing you need, even down to fresh milk in the fridge and raisin buns awaiting our arrival. The cottage was spotless, the bed comfy, fully equipped kitchen, and cosy lounges. When our stay was over I felt a genuine sadness. We will definitely be back and would highly recommend Limestone Cottage.

This was a perfect cottage.

Homely traditional setting with all the modern facilities. Well equipted kitchen. The best tumble drier I have ever used (we did do a few things that made us wet and dirty and washing facilities were much appreciated.) Fantastic location. In the centre of the Burren. Easy access to historical sites, Limerick and twenty five minutes drive to my cousins' house. It was a wonderful experience. Just wish we had booked another week.

Stayed many times.

If it wasn't good we would not revisit.

First class allround.

If I were to quibble it would be to say the heating system, whilst very effective has a smell in the kitchen. Other than that facilities, location & useful information excellent. Would definitely think about rebooking.

Lovely cottage, comfortable beds, good shower and enjoyed the local cows and birds.

Great walks straight from the cottage, but it was a shame about the unseasonal weather. The only problem was the local pub, which was one of the reasons for our booking, has closed.

We just love it!

!! It is ideally located in the heart of the Burren, allowing easy access on foot, on bike, by car to everything we wanted. The cottage is well appointed, allowing cooking, eating and sleeping just like home. Supermarket is relatively close in Ennistymon or village shops in Kilfenora/ Ballyvaughan/Lisdoonvarna/Corofin. Fanore beach is unbelievable and trips to Miltown Malbay give access to Spanish Point and White Strand beaches - all Blue-flagged and lifeguarded. Lahinch is good too, although busy. Don't come in the summer as the Burren is just too beautiful for words, even when it rains!!! You won't want to go home!!!

Awesome!

We had such a good time, the cottage was lovely, the setting was incredible and the owner was so friendly and accommodating. Loved every minute.

A well appointed cottage in a lovely area of the Burren.

House martins nesting under the eaves and a visit from Fox cubs in the garden. Excellent walking in the area as the Burren is like one huge rock garden. Loads of maps and suggested walks provided, so spoilt for choice.

A very cosy cottage in a quiet area.

Ideal location for visiting The Burren. Very high standard of cleanliness & maintenance. Owner very friendly and helpful. One minor disappointment: the pub mentioned in the listing has since closed down. Overall a most enjoyable stay. .

Very well equipped cottage.

Comfortable, spacious and in a great location in the heart of the Burren.

Spotlessly clean and best equipped property we've ever spent time in (four slot toaster, yes!

). We lucked out and had glorious weather, beautiful hikes, a wonderful experience all around.

This was a brilliant cottage, everything you need but especially Wi-Fi which can be hard to get in rural Ireland.

A very cosy tv room and the heating works very well in the whole house. Owner always on hand if you need her and genuinely welcoming you to Carran. 20 mins from Kilfenora, Corrofin and Lisdoonvarna and Lahinch Doolin and cliffs of Moher a little further. Brilliant stay here in Carran and would definitely come back. Top marks Theresa

Great cottage, very clean and comfortable, and an excellent base for exploring The Burren.

Property owner was very helpful and we had everything we needed for a very enjoyable stay. This was our second stay here, and we look forward to visiting again.

The property was clean, cosy, comfortable and well equipped.

It’s in a fantastic location for local walks and walks further afield. Plenty to do and see in this special part of the country. Would definitely recommend and hope to return.

A wonderful relaxing place to stay.

...cant recomend it enough. The house is very well equipped but still retains it's authenticity and character. Beautiful walks all around - a place to choose if you wish to unwind and recharge. We really loved our stay here and having stayed in many holiday rentals across Ireland , this cottage stands out as the house and setting we relaxed most in.

A comfortable, spacious, well-equipped cottage and spotlessly clean.

It is well situated in the centre of the Burren with a couple of lovely walks from the cottage and many interesting places to visit in the area. We enjoyed a stroll to the Burren Perfumery which has an excellent cafe

A cozy, clean, and tidy cottage.

Quiet location. Central for exploring 'The Burren'. Everything you would normally need and it all worked. Weather wasn't great, but not a lot anyone can do about that.

Excellent situation in the Burren, lovely cottage, very clean and well maintained.

I would recommend this as a place to stay. We had lovely weather and really enjoyed our stay at Limestone Cottage.

It is a lovely cottage, much larger than the picture suggests, a beautiful location and everything as listed in the brochure - but the brochure did not mention the absence of Wi Fi or mobile phone signal

Limestone Cottage is one of the best equipped and most comfortable, peaceful holiday homes we have stayed in.

Theresa kept in touch with us while we were there. It's a perfect location for touring Clare and lots of information is provided. We really enjoyed our stay. Thanks.

This is a lovely well equipped comfortable cottage set in a quiet village.

Cottage is larger than it appears in pictures. We had a lovely week there. For us it was an ideal place for touring the Burren area. Pub which serves very good food few minutes walk away. Be aware that the nearest shop is a few miles away. As there is a good sized fridge and chest freezer in property we stocked up on first day so it wasn't a problem to us.

This cottage is a must,definitely worth a visit with family or friends, the cottage has everything you could need,it's so comfortable and spotless clean,Theresa the lady we were speaking with is such a lovely lady and so helpful.

Can't wait to come back again.

Sometimes you see some lovely pictures of holiday cottages and think; ‘it’s too good to be true’.

The pictures and reality in this case matched up to exactly what it promised. Beautiful. Attention to detail was amazing. Dainty. Amazing location close to everything you’d like to visit. And then Theresa and her sister Christina were just lovely and so accommodating. Don’t hesitate to book if you’re lucky enough to get a vacancy

Lovely Cottage and lovely host.

It has everything you need and is furnished with attention to details. It feels more like a home than a holiday house. I would highly recommend it!

loved this Cottage.

It had everything we needed. We were out all day, was lovely to come back to in the evening. Clean, comfortable beds, loved the pink towels, have bought pink towels when I arrived home. Loved Mr and Mrs Fox

This is a lovely cottage, lovingly maintained by a very welcoming host, in a fine location at the heart of the burren.

The weather took a bit of a turn during our stay as an Atlantic storm hit the area, with howling winds and torrential rain - this is the west of Ireland after all!.Although this brought a damp chill to the air, the open fire soon made the place cosy again. This cottage was all we hoped for, we really enjoyed our stay.

A lovely cottage with all the amenities you need in full working order.

Sited in the middle of Burren upland close to the major holiday destinations. Recommend walking around the village on way marked paths, visiting Birds of Prey Centre at Allwee cave, boat trip around Cliffs of Moher if you want to see where they filmed the Cave chapter in Harry Potter film. Highlight of the week boat trip on Dolphin watch plus much more from Carriagaholt on loop head. Not so enjoyable Cliffs of Moher from the top as so overcrowded or the local pub Cassidy's. Would recoment this holiday.

A very good place to visite the area: poulnarbone dolmen, cliffs of moher, galway, the burren national park, the burren parfumery (2 km).

..

A lovely, cosy , traditional cottage in the heart of the Burren.

This is our second visit and will not be the last.

Everything perfect, even the absence of wifi, which allows more time to relax, read and enjoy the unique countryside.

A really fun holiday experience!

Great cottage with lovely space to relax and enjoy the break away. Really clean and tidy and the owner was very helpful! It is easy to drive to the Cliffs of Moher or Galway and plenty to see. Highly recommend for couples or families!

The lovely Limestone cottage was a really good place to stay in, REALLY clean and everything you could need when on holiday.

The owner Theresa was most welcoming and genuinely friendly. We really enjoyed our stay there.

The location was amazing and we were so lucky with the weather - 2 hot weeks with no rain.

the area was quiet with a pub just up the road - perfect! The cottage was central to all the places we wanted to visit.

This cottage was worth every penny, quaint and old fashioned but completely in keeping with the 'Irish Experience'

A wonderfully comfortable cottage for country lovers and close to so many interesting places and walks .

.. I've already booked it again!

Das Haus hat wirklich eine tolle Lage, zwar direkt an der Strasse, Verkehr ist eh nicht so viel, dafür aber mittendrin im Burren.

Die Einkaufsmöglichkeiten sind etwas weiter weg, es gibt einen Pub 200m vom Haus entfernt in dem man auch gut essen kann. Wir haben die Schönheit der Landschaft und die Stille mit Vogelgezwitscher und Muhen der Kühe sehr genossen. Vom Haus aus sind es maximal 30-40 Minuten Autofahrt zu allen Ecken im Burren ( Wanderwege, Archeologische Stätten, Atlantikküste etc) Eine Vielfalt an Wandervorschlägen sind im Haus ausgelegt. Alles in Allem können wir dieses Cottage nur empfehlen, es verschafft einem Muße zur Ruhe und Gelassenheit. P.S. Neben einem offenem Kamin gibt es auch einen super Holz/Kohleofen Elke und Thomas Frankfurt und Düsseldorf

A very nice cottage

Lovely cottage, owner very friendly and prompt with communication.

Loved the cottage location and the simple functional appliances. Great if you want to escape the 21st century and the internet!
