Heir Island House

It is on a beautiful island, that you get to via a ferry from the mainland. Claudia and Craig are the loveliest people, the food was great, and it was very peaceful

We got a lovely warm welcome from our hosts Claudia and Craig. The island is very pretty, beaches are beautiful and deserted! Our stay was comfortable and dinner and pizza were excellent.

Lovely cottage and well decorated rooms.

Craig and Claudia are excellent hosts. They were there at the dock to take our luggage. We were celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary and they had a nice bottle of Prosecco, brownies and card for us. The food was cooked with love, and they went out of the way to accomodate us. The island is beautiful and quite relaxing. The Pizza was the real deal.

Great warmth and hospitality from Craig and Claudia. And Pizzas are second to none. Thanks so much guys

The mattress was harder than I'd like. But I did sleep well nonetheless

Mooi, rustige locatie, lekker ontbijt en een grote gastvrijheid. Er wordt echt voor je gezorgd in een omgeving waar er verder nauwelijks of geen winkels, restaurants edm zijn!

Heir House is a wonderful guest house - super friendly, and the proprietors Claudia and Craig go to great lengths to ensure your stay is enjoyable and comfortable. The guest house has an informal and relaxed atmosphere, and is very comfortable. The location is stunning, being right on the coast of Heir Island with sea views all around, and the food is simple and utterly delicious. I strongly recommend Heir Island House for relaxing and memorable stay in a magical location.

Beautiful location, friendly people and very peaceful.

Limited by ferry availability and as I was on public transport I needed to organise a lot of taxi travel .

Beautiful room, beautiful people, lovely food. Watching sunset was magical from house.

The scenery

No shop our boat after 6

Breakfast was wonderful. A very large bowl of fruit. Free range egg. We could take as much time as we liked over breakfast. We had the run of the place during the day.

Having to leave.!

We had to leave after two blissful days

I had the most wonderful time on Heir Island. Not only is the island breathtakingly gorgeous, Claudia and Craig did an outstanding job making me feel welcome. My room and ensuite bathroom were spacious, modern and perfect for what I needed.

Heir Island is a gem, Heir Island House is lovely, super cosy bedrooms and lovely shower, Claudia and Craig are lovely hosts. The food was lovely and great to get Lunch and dinner in the house. The hosts went out of their way to collect us from the ferry and drop our bags back down.

A home away from home. Couldn't have been looked after better by Claudia and Craig. Hehir also is beautiful and great to explore. We spent a morning kayaking to nearby island. Highly recommend staying here!

Claudia and Craig are excellent hosts and I felt very at home there with them and their adorable 7month old Elliot and dog Millie. The house is very comfortable, the food is delicious. Heir Island is a gem, peaceful and beautiful. Easy access to tea and milk and water. Excellent water pressure in the shower. Loved lounging in the hot tub in the rain looking out to sea. Amazing sunsets both nights I stayed. I highly recommend and will be back to try the pizzas when it’s open in the summer!

Nothing, it’s charming and loved.

The warm pink tones of Heir Island House welcome guests to island life, with vast sea views in front, an orchard garden to the back. Home cooked breakfasts and dinners, delicious deserts. Comfortable rooms and facilities and most of all doggies very welcome. A perfect base for walking the island, for getting lost in nature and for unwinding amidst bird song and ocean waves. A house beautifully layered with island and family life, Claudia and Craig, the perfect hosts.

A lovely peaceful, relaxing break. Comfy bed and great food.

Claudia and Craig are exceptionally warm and welcoming, the location is excellent, the food tasty and the atmosphere very friendly and clean

Claudia and Craig have created such a loving and welcoming home . We loved their company and chats about the island and everything in between . The food was excellent, house was so comfortable with beautiful farm house features, we had a fantastic , peaceful sleep and to top it all off our doggies were treated with such kindness and understanding. And , the island is beautiful!

Heir Island House offered wonderful pet friendly accommodation. Claudia, Craig & ofcourse their gorgeous son Elliott were super hosts. Everything about this trip was special from start to finish, it’s such a wonderful island for hiking and swimming.

Very good ! Served when wanted and ordered what you wanted . Fresh and delicious .

All was good .

Big comfortable beds, good size room. Small number of rooms so nice and quiet.

Breakfast is continental only and that wasn’t made clear. Meals are very expensive and on the small side and no other options to eat on the island, which also wasn’t made clear.

The peace and quiet and scenery where outstanding

The windows needed fixing

Claudia and Craig are incredible hosts. They truly did everything possible to make sure that I had a pleasant stay. Room was great- bed was great. From the ferry to the meals to cover my 3 night stay, this island is an enviable stay. I would return in a moment!

De natuur en rust

Niets

If you enjoy good food, a well equipped room, charming seaside views and great hosts- this is the place for you. I absolutely loved everything about my stay at Heir Island House, especially Claudia's and Craig's efforts to make you feel welcome and looked after! And Heir Island is just beautifull :)

A magical stay—like visiting old friends by the sea I stayed at Heir House with my two boys, and it was absolutely perfect for us. Traveling solo with kids can sometimes be tricky, but from the moment we arrived, we felt completely at home. The space is so chill and family-friendly—laid-back in all the right ways, with thoughtful touches that made our stay easy and relaxing. The beach is just heavenly, and the pizza? Truly some of the best we’ve had. But what really made the stay unforgettable were our hosts, Claudia and Craig. They are incredible—warm, welcoming, and so generous with their time and energy. We genuinely felt like part of the family by the end of our stay. If you’re looking for a soulful, easygoing place to unwind (with or without kids), I can’t recommend Heir House enough. We’ll definitely be back.

Claudia and Craig, the hosts, are super friendly and provide all information needed well in advance. We got collected by Craig at the ferry and he brought our bags to the house allowing us to take a leisurely walk. Pizza nights are super busy, so make sure to book ahead.

Claudia and Craig were the perfect hosts, friendly, welcoming and enthusiastic. The house was in a great location, with a lovely garden. Room and bed well appointed - great nights sleep. Claudia is a great cook and breakfast and dinner were very enjoyable

Nothing. Wished we could have stayed longer!

Claudia was wonderful...so helpful and hardworking and. made us feel very welcome. Her cooking was superb...three course supper with wine plus an incredible full Irish breakfast.

Friendly comfortable great location for a hot tub with a view out to sea. Very close to the white sandy beqches to walk to.

Claudia & Craig were wonderful hosts! The island is very peaceful! We brought our dog who was very well looked after. The bed was comfy and the hot tub was a bonus! Would definitely visit again and would recommend to others!

We travelled here for a 2 night break, with our 2 Jack Russells. Out host, Claudia, meet us at the pier and drove us the short distance to her home. The accommodation was warm, inviting and comfortable. Claudia and Craig were very friendly and hospitable and made us feel very welcome. The island itself is beautifully set in magnificent surroundings and the few residents we encountered were very friendly. Definitely a place to visit if you enjoy a relaxing break, with the occasional walk to the beach or to other parts of the island, for example, the west of the island, from where you can see Fastnet Rock Lighthouse.

We may have visited just before the start of the season, but there was little to do on the island after we got the last ferry at 6pm. Anything you might want, or need, you will have to bring across to the island, as there is no shop. Although the food that Claudia cooked for us was delicious (if she offers you the grilled Sea Bass, do yourself a favour and take it), I did think that €22 was a bit on the expensive side for a full Irish breakfast.

There is so much to like about this property. The location is absolutely sublime but it also felt a real home from home. So when the rain came, a cosy afternoon on the lounge sofa, reading and playing games was definitely called for! Claudia and Craig are lovely hosts with great attention to detail, so if the dawn chorus keeps you awake, there are ear plugs and if it is a bit chilly, there are hot water bottles to grab! Claudia is also a brilliant cook and the price of our three course meal was really reasonable. I wish this couple all the very best as they develop their business.

The room we chose, was the smallest and it did feel a little on the cosy side, so we enjoyed the more spacious lounge area. There are a variety of rooms so if we stayed again, we would pick a larger room.

Location! The island is fantastic! Greg and Claudia were just lovely! There is no shop or pub on the island, so you need to come prepared.! But this adds to the adventure.

Nothing to dislike!

Well the island itself is the main selling point. The B&B was warm and welcoming, cosy yet modern, in an idyllic location. The hosts are lovely .. attentive if you want, but also happy to leave you be.

I loved Heir island house . Claudia and Craig were very friendly. A great selection for breakfast .The room was lovely The bed was comfortable. Its a lovely place to stay . You wake up to quietness . Its so tranquil . Lovely little beeches on the island .

Friendly staff fabulous location homemade food was excellent.

Very relaxed comfortable stay. Very high quality service and absolutely beautiful food. Claudia and Craig fantastic hosts

That we had to leave!

The hospitality of Claudia was amazing, the food very good, the view on the sea and the mainland is beautiful, the beaches are very sheltered and quiet. I loved to have dinner and breakfast with the other guests.

Fabulous location. Superb hosts.

Amazing location and wonderful hosts

Everything, especially staff!

Loved everything.

I loved everything about my 2 night stay at Heir Island House. Claudia and Craig have created a beautiful, warm, and welcoming guest house, and they couldn't have done anything differently to make my stay better. The accommodation is spotless, clean, and full of character, and the food is delicious. To sum up, I can't wait to go back. Heir Island is magical, and to have such a beautiful guest house to return to after a day exploring the tiny island was the icing on the cake. Well done, Claudia, Craig, and crew, see you soon.

Having to leave!!

The hostages were really friendly and welcoming, and the home made Breakfast and Dinner was really fresh and delicious.

The Mattresses were a bit soft.

Claudia and Craig were amazing hosts. Claudia's food was fresh and delicious. It was great that she has hot additions that you can add to the included continental breakfast and her dinner options were hearty and delicious. I felt that they really went out of their way to assure that you have a good experience. I would definitely stay here again.

I stayed at Heir House for two nights and I was sorry I didn't book longer. I cannot say enough about Heir House. Claudia and Craig are so, so lovely. They are so welcoming and super accommodating. I stupidly brough a tiny suitcase with wheels to an island, which wasn't the brightest idea but they picked me up from the ferry when I arrived and also dropped me back. This place is in a beautiful location, right beside the ocean with spectacular view and lots of lovely places to sit outside. My bedroom was beautiful and super clean. The bed in particular was AMAZING. There's a gorgeous, cosy sitting room to chill out in in the evenings and many, many books available to read. The food was absolutely amazing too. I only had breakfast (which was divine) but one can order evening meals too (which also looked divine). As well as that there is/are always coffee/tea/snacks available 24/7 which I simply LOVE - and I think it says SO much about the place and these wonderful people. You MUST VISIT. PS, the island is absolutely stunning too, and so peaceful.

The hosts were simply wonderful. The food was exceptional, the welcome was fabulous, the room a delight. Simply put a small piece of Heaven.

There is nothing to not like.

Lovely place for relax

Heir Island House is located in a beautiful spot, facing the bay and just metres away from a beach and a short walk from the ferry. We were given a warm welcome from the start by Claudia and Craig who looked after us attentively throughout our stay. The rooms were comfortable and very clean. For breakfast you are offered generous portions and the food was delicious. Although the pizzas are wonderful, as guests we were also given the choice of home made food.

As hosts they couldn’t do more for you to make sure you’re looked after Pizza bianca was incredible, yummy breakfast yogurt pots and fruit salad Really dog friendly, warm atmosphere and board games to play while enjoying some wine in the evening Gorgeous rooms and views Beautiful island, great walks, flowers and swims Reliable short ferry

Heir Island House is such a cool and unique place to stay! The hosts/owners are wonderful, and it's a real experience to take a ferry to this special little island with incredible natural beauty. Highly recommend!

Very high quality food, carefully thought out and well presented. Lunch and the evening meal were equally high in quality and well presented.
