Walls were thin, so you could hear the neighbours. Room was a bit damp. Some appliances need a bit of tlc.

The Location was excellent. Cottage comfortable

The property feels a bit dated with the exception of the lovely showers which were recently renewed. It's probably time to renew some of the furniture and freshen up the place. Ballyvaughan is a nice village but somewhat constrained in terms of choice of restaurants and bars due to closures (as of May 24).

It is a quaint thatched cottage and well located between Ballyvaughan village and pier and within an easy walk of both. It is spacious and reasonably well equipped. We were grateful for the flexibility with the check out time.

Not too much to be negative about, maybe upstairs bathroom in our cottage needs a refresh.

Very spacious and comfortable cottage. Great location to explore County Clare from (and tip up to Galway on a rainy day 🙂). Nice bars and restaurants in Ballyvaughen, would recommend dropping into O'Loclainn's

Great location next to the water and an awesome restaurant (Monks) for our weekend near the Burren and Cliffs of Moher. We really apreciated that it was dog friendly and had nice spaces for the dogs out front and out back. Finding the place was a bit difficult as there are multiple cottages and we arrived late at night but once we found it we were home and very impressed with how spacious and well stocked it was.

The downstairs bathroom though large could do with an extractor fan and the floor/shower curtain in the upstairs bathroom could be more waterproof. Other than those two small details we LOVED the cottage and only wish we could have stayed longer.

They key was literally left in the front door with the outside and inside lights on, heating on and even the electric blanket in the master bedroom turned on! So cosy! When looking for matches one day I called Claire as the shops were not yet open to see if she could tell me if they were in the cottage. 5 minutes later Claire dropped by with a box! The cottage location is excellent with the view from the windows over the inlet and the cottages opposite just superb. Everything is within walking distance and Bishop's Quarter beach just 2-3km away. Monk's fantastic seafood restaurant down the road is a fabulous bonus.

An old kettle kept tripping the electricity - needs to be replaced. Also (minor points) there was no tin opener and only a few wine glasses so had to wait for dishwasher to finish.

Lovely place nice comfy sofas and plenty of room for everyone, Lots of dishes and cutlery. Lovely open fine very cosy. Wine fridge a nice touch! Allowed us an early check in. Thanks

Was just there for two nights and was disappointed that some of the basics weren't there - silly things like some wood to light the fire, some salt for food etc Have stayed in lots of places around Ireland and this was the first that didn't provide these things. No fun finding a grocery store in the dark to source firelighters and wood and salt - had brought groceries with us to cook a meal but really thought the basics would be there

Pretty cottage, quite comfortable, lots of space. Not much in the village itself but only an hour to Galway and close to Alwee Cave and Cliffs of Moher. Lovely seafood restaurant a minutes walk from the cottage

Upstairs bathroom was a little basic. Good break for a group.

Location is great, on the outskirts of the village. House was warm & clean, open fire was lovely. Host was very helpful. Thatched roof was a novelty.

The house would benefit from some maintenance work: repairing radiators, lights, door handles and leaks on the extension. Comfort always trumps quaintness and with some work the house could be restored to an excellent holiday home.

The location was perfect with beautiful views across the sea inlet and further beyond. Ballyvaughan is one of the best spots for a break with excellent restaurants, a well-stocked shop and wonderful pubs and tea rooms. The house was spacious and accessible. We appreciated being able to bring our dogs along with us.
