Set in rural County Clare, this homely bungalow is perfect for a tranquil escape in nature while still within reach of the charming city of Galway. Spend your time away exploring the nearby beaches, cliff-top walking trails and Burren National Park. Also worth a visit is the UNESCO Cliffs of Moher. Enjoy evenings by the wood burner and al fresco dining in the garden with two other guests and one canine companion.

Settle into the cosy lounge/diner with neutral tones, wooden furnishings and tiled floor throughout. 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.

Spend an evening eating your way around Galway (16.5 miles) and visiting the city’s historic attractions.

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

We had a very nice stay in this beautiful cottage near Kinvarra. Located in a very calm and inviting area it was the ideal starting point to go on trips and visit some of the stunning places in your country. We thank you for hosting this sweet cottage that we could always look forward to return to at the end of our day.

Had a wonderful week at Mickeys' Cottage, Ballyclery, Such a quaint, cosy cottage, perfect for my daughter and me. Lots of rain but comfortable and had everything we needed. Very easy drive to Kinvarra, a most charming village! Spent a few days in Galway, also easy access. Warm, cosy and comfortable, an idyllic getaway!

Staying in the cottage was a pleasure. The place was very comfortable and together with my dog we really enjoyed evenings by the fireplace. Amazing way to unwind. Very good location, walking distance to Kinvara and 30 min drive to Galway. Very nice and friendly owner . I would strongly recommend this holiday home.
