“Weloved the interesting surrounding,the cosy house and the hospitality of the owner.”

Thank you!

Thank you!

- Mrs Siebrasse, September 2018

“Well equipped cottage in lovely rural/coastal setting but with facilities nearby.”

Owner friendly and helpful but unobtrusive. Ideal for the holiday we wanted

- Mr Evans, July 2018
“The location of this cottage was a stone throw away from the harbour.”

The cottage was perfect for 2 young girls under 5 they didn't want to go home. Bernie was a perfect hostess and I hope we will cross paths again in the next couple of years.

“Etwas abgelegen im Dorf Ballinderreen, aber für uns perfekt.”

Wir lieben die Ruhe und Natur. Auto unbedingt erforderlich. Großzügige Räumlichkeit. Küche könnte etwas besser ausgestattet sein. Wir waren nur zu zweit, aber das Geschirr ging schnell aus. Tolle Möglichkeit zum abends draußen sitzen, neben einer Pferdekoppel. Zwei völlig ruhige und brave Hunde im Nebenhaus (Haus der Besitzerin). Sehr freundliche Gastgeberin, sehr aufmerksamer Empfang (mit Milch im Kühlschrank und frischem Gebäck für dem Kaffee nach der Ankunft). Genügend Handtücher etc. Auch Infomaterial über die Region vorhanden. Im Ort eine Tankstelle und ein Pub. An der Tankstelle gibt es eine Einkaufsmöglichkeit, erstaunlich gutes Sortiment. Leider keine Grillmöglichkeit. Wir waren bei den kürzlichen Rekord-Temperaturen dort, da wäre abends ein Grill toll gewesen.

“What a beautiful comfy cottage, in such a picturesque area!”

Mrs Larkin was the perfect hostess and we had a perfect holiday. Just a short drive to Kinvara which is very pretty, we can recommend the Pier Head restaurant , excellent food and service. Happy memories.

“Everything about the cottage was perfect, our whole group felt extremely at home throughout the whole weekend, it was perfect.”

Also, the owner of the cottage went above and beyond to make sure we were happy and could do everything we wanted to.

“Cottage spacieux, lumineux et confortable.”

Seul bémolsur les photos on ne voit pas qu'il y a un seuil assez haut (PMR)

- Leblond, April 2018
“The location is very quiet and secluded - a perfect base for day-trips to places like Galway city, the Burren, Ailwee caves and Cliffs of Moher.”

Decent wifi and Netflix installed on the TV was a bonus. The cottage is well-built and insulated so held its heat well through the cold snap evenings.

- Mr Mcbride, March 2018
“This is our second Christmas spent in Sycamore Cottage.”

Once again it met all our expectations and we had a wonderful relaxing week. l Bernie, the owner, is extremely helpful and the cottage was well equipped with everything we needed.

- Mr Bellew, December 2017

“Brill place peace just relax”

- Mr Humphreys, April 2017
“The Sycamore Cottage is in a convenient location just outside Galway, very close to the Galway Bay.”

The cottage is lovely, with everything one could ask for while on vacation. The hostess stocked our kitchen with thoughtful necessities and treats. Everything was perfect! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and recommend it greatly.

- Ms Syed, March 2017
“This is the best fitted out cottage we have ever stayed.”

It had everything we needed in comfort and it beautifully appointed. We stayed there for Christmas 2016 and would happily return again. The location is ideal for trips around Clare, The Burren and Galway. It is placed in the centre of the fishing industry down a quiet back road. The landlady is charming and couldn't have been more helpful in every way.

- Mrs Nicholson, December 2016
“Sycamore Cottage is a hidden gem, tucked away in the backroads of a small town called Ballindeerrin.”

It met all our expectations and exceeded them. The place was cozy and clean, while the owner was extremely amiable and helpful. She had the house preheated when we arrived, and provided us with tea, coffee, and assorted breads for our morning breakfast. The kitchen was fully stocked with dishes and cleaning supplies, and she gave us a heated rack to dry our clothes after the washer. The wifi worked without issue and the local harbor was quite adorable. Our group traveled mostly by bus and by foot, so keep in mind the bus only passes through town every three hours, but for anyone with a car it is a prime location between Galway and Doolin. Don't forget to say hello to the local Golden retriever named Brandy during your stay.

- Ms Monin, October 2016
“This cottage was awesome the location stunning the host was lovely and went out of her way to make sure I was comfortable if I get the chance to visit Ireland again Ill know exactly where I want to stay.”

- Mr Green, September 2016
