Around the eye-catching exposed stone fireplace with a wood burner are comfortable armchairs and a sofa. On the other side of the room is a central circular dining table with three chairs. Completing the interior is a family shower room and two bedrooms – a double and a single. Outside, is an enclosed garden with furniture.

The cottage being just off the N67 is ideal for exploring not just the local area but south to bunratty castle and folk park and the Cliffs of moher. North to Galway city too. The owner was so helpful and came down straight away when I had trouble working the oil stove. I travel alone and would recommend this cottage to solo travellers and couples.Read more Hide

A great little find. Ideal for a quiet getaway, Kinvarra only a few minutes away with plenty of facilities, and a choice of beaches nearby for a walk or swim. Exactly what we wanted, thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

Loved the outside space. I had five weeks when I was able to sit out and eat alfresco. Kinvara is a friendly and lively town with lots to see and do. Music and the arts are central to the life of the community. Loved it
