Amazing location, secluded and thus very silent and calm. The views are great. The house is very well equipped and the hosts are super attentive. The bread and other food provided are a really nice gesture.

Shockingly beautiful
Highly Recommended! Top location, spotlessly clean, and absolutely perfect! The property is authentic and ideal for families. We had a wonderful stay and can only highly recommend it to everyone.
L’emplacement isolé et dépaysant. Très bien situé entre les falaises de Moher et Galway. A quelques kilomètres d’une plage magnifique. Logement très chaleureux.
Léger bruit constant durant la nuit (peut etre le système de chauffage ?)
Lovely accommodation in a quite area. Off the beaten track.

Très beau lieu Très bel emplacement Bon rapport qualité prix
La maison super cosy ; tout est mis à disposition pour qu'on se sente comme à la maison. C'était propre et très fonctionnel. Notre hébergement préféré d'Irlande !
Un petit point noir pour la literie chambre double et la vmc juste au dessus un peu bruyante
This cottage was in such a memorable location and it would be a recommendation if you were looking for something that will be distinctly memorable to the Burren area
N/a - excellent accommodation
The location I. The countryside was an experience; but, we enjoyed the adventure, along the the proximity to Doolin and the Cliffs of Mojer.
Signage was a little weak, but we did arrive in the dark!
Excellent
Loves the location . The cottage was so lovely.

Die Lage war sehr ruhig.
Das Cottage war wirklich nicht gut geputz. Die Bilder hier bei Booking scheinen älter zu sein. Es sah dort bestimmt vor Jahren schön aus. Aber man sieht, dass schon länger nichts gemacht wurde am Cottage. Heizkörper tropften und alles roch muffig nach Feuchtigkeit. Tatsächlich fanden wir den Grund dafür schnell. Das Cottage hat ein Schimmelproblem. An den Fensterbänken sieht man es am Besten, aber auch am letzten Tag als wir die Bettwäsche abziehen mussten, fanden wir Schimmelflecken auf den Decken. Die Toilettenspülungen in beiden Toiletten hatte kaum Wasserdruck wodurch man bestimmt bestimmt 3x spülen müsste, damit etwas Klopapier weggeht. Die Mikrowelle und der Ofen waren nicht geputz. Es war zwar eine Spülmaschine vorhanden, aber das vorhandene Geschirr war nicht spülmaschinenfest. Somit konnte man die Spülmaschine nicht nutzen. Die Eigentümer hatten viele Regel und es wurde daraufhingewiesen, dass man alles sauber hinterlassen soll. Sowas ist eigenartig, wenn man selbst nicht putzt. Ich würde dort nie wieder buchen. Ich habe nicht direkt nach dem Urlaub diese Bewertung formuliert, sonst wäre sie noch härter ausgefallen. Ich wollte mir Zeit nehmen um noch einmal zu reflektieren. Man zahlt sehr viel Geld und erwartet durch die Bilder ein tolles Haus und ist am Ende total enttäuscht. Schade!
It felt like a home away from home. Very comfortable.
I would have liked to have met the hosts.
Cottage bellissimo immerso nella natura. Posizione eccellente per le scogliere. Molto grande e con ogni comfort.
Lovely, cosy cottage, tastefully finished. Beautiful location.
Check-out time too early
Just the most gorgeous rustic looking place on the outside with all the comforts on the inside. Stunning location. Very kind and helpful hosts. Which we could have stayed longer. What a stand out place.
Not a thing
The location is amazing, the cottage is lovely and the facilities are great.
Quaint
Bit remote
If you want to spend just the night the property is good
The property is quite remote, and if you wish to dine out, you'll need to drive approximately 7–8 km starting with narrow single-lane roads. We also encountered a leak in the toilet, which left the floorboards damp wet. There was no hand wash provided in the bathroom initially—we had to request it from the host, who did send it promptly via her son. However, we expected such basic essentials to be in place upon arrival. The TV is very small. There’s nothing to do outside for children, so families should be aware of this. Overall, the property might be suitable if you're just looking for a place to spend the night, but it’s not ideal for an extended or activity-based stay.
Gorgeous property off of the beaten track! Homely, comfortable and very clean! The landscape and views surrounding are breathtaking! Beautiful and quiet, perfect for a family stay! A short drive away from local amenities and Fanore beach is very close aswell! Hosts were very accommodating, left us a travel cot for our baby and a few little bits in the kitchen - cereal / tea / milk etc! We met Pat and he was lovely to chat to! Loved walking around and seeing the farm animals too!
No complaints! We really enjoyed our stay!
This was the most quaint and lovely stay we had during our trip to Ireland. The setting is magnificent. The property is isolated and peaceful.
Nothing. Everything was perfect.
Beautiful setting and cute cottage!
Spacious, private farm cottage with everything you may need. Gorgeous area for exploring, walking, running or just relaxing. Warm and peaceful.
Beautiful home with great amenities. Some food on arrival which was key for the kids.
This was my favourite stay in Ireland. The beautiful cottage, country air, cows, walks, greenery and the unique rocky landscape. Clean, warm and comfortable and had everything we needed.
Nothing.
A lovely cottage on farmland. Clean and cosy with some basic provisions available.
This is a lovely, comfortable cottage.
Everything was what we expected and more.
The character of the cottage old gem
Everything
Perfect stay. Warm, clean and in the most beautiful location. We're already planning coming back next year
It was beautiful and well put together. Lots of space and very quaint.
It was a bit far from restaurants & other attractions.
Loved the location and experience of staying here, very quiet and idyllic. Had the cutest greeting committee (pup and kitty)! The homemade bread was a delicious and a thoughtful touch. The washing machine and fireplace was a great bonus!
The house is great, it just needs a really deep and proper clean, it’s very dirty. The checkout time is earlier than all places (10AM) so it makes for a rushed departure. Also note that this is also an Airbnb so be aware of that, you are required to clean, sort garbages and strip the beds before you leave.
Lovely cottage in a really nice place!
Excellent stay. Beautiful comfortable home in a gorgeous secluded setting, but a very short drive to Fanore beach and the coast road to Doolin and Ballyvaughan. We really appreciated the extras in the house. My kids thought the visit from the gorgeous dogs and cat was the best part of our stay! No phone signal but excellent WiFi. We'd love to stay here again soon
Very close to Fanore beach. Two very friendly collie dogs. Lovely kitchen well equipped. Very peaceful .Unique experience eventhough I come from a quiet rural area.
Mattresses could be better. No phone coverage or TV channels.
Beautiful location, well stocked air bnb.
A nice old farmhouse on the outside, a confortable, near new home in the inside. Very cosy, you have everything you need, also some food for a quick, light breakfast. It is located at the end of the world, so it is an absolutely quiet and relaxed place to chill.
Some small animals seem to live under (inside) the roof, in the evening and night they were running back and forth. This can be disturbing for some.
Beautiful scenery!! Comfortable and cozy cottage :)
Cute Cottage! Easy check-in process and great for families.

Location is amazing.
Booking.com check in and out times don’t align with the owners demands. This is irritating as you lose 6hours. Can’t be in before 4pm and must be out my 10am. Also: A lot of rules posted about how to leave the place, basically fully cleaning it before you leave. There are radiators leaking in the property. It was cold with heating turned almost to zero when we arrived. The tv is mounted in a weird corner making it unviewable for 90% of people on the couch. The living room door doesn’t close so there’s no separation if someone is in bed. The water pressure is so low as to make flushing toilets and washing teeth difficult. The beds are the oldest and most unsupportive I’ve ever seen. Bed linen is old tired and not hypoallergenic. There is a dog walking about the yard. Fine for me, but my wife is terrified of dogs. There are branches from an overhanging tree rattling against the roof constantly, so sleep is even tougher.
Fabulous, well appointed cottage very close to the burren and wild Atlantic way. Hosts did an amazing job. Would advise to make a note of key code before heading to remote County Clare where signal is intermittent.
Lovely cottage house. We had everything we needed for our stay.
Beautiful inside out, very quiet so we alll got great sleep , everything we needed and more . Including turf so we could light a fire. Thank you for a magical experience
The stove, fireplace, kitchen appliances + resources were great. The surrounding area was beautiful and the building and the facilities were more than ideal. Plus the two doggies that swung by were a pretty sweet deal :)
Hard to think of something we didn't like!
Awesome cottage with everything you need, awesome location just would advise not driving to it in the dark if not familiar with the area, narrow and very dark roads with little to no phone service
Property was perfect it was just the drive in at night time.
Lovely location and surrounds. A beautiful part of the Island. Cottage was warm and well lit on arrival.
1. Bedding was full of dust- one daughter had an acute asthma attack while sleeping, second one had acute urticaria/hives. 2. Mattresses are old and non supportive. 3. Mould in bathrooms. Poor attempts were made to cover it up with paint, but there’s lots more mould in there than meets the eye. 4. Check in and check out time- Booking.com advises 12h00 and 12h00. Owners sent me a message that check in not possible before 16h00 and check out not later than 10h00. Once I informed them of the details on booking.com, they advised it was booking.com’s fault and that I should take it up with them or cancel the booking if not happy. Surely, they advertise on booking.com and should address this with them- it’s not my job as a paying customer.
The place is nice. Rooms are quite good. Sitting room with the fire stove was very nice. The place was warm and cosy.
In the master bedroom and in the bathroom there were a few spots of mold, which is normal for the humidity close to the ocean, but I am sensitive to it.
The turf fire. The cottage is beautiful, and the view is stunning.
Nothing .
Private and accommodating
Far and rough roads!
The location, the view, the shower, the food provided, so kind!
A bigger or more signs from the road might help.
Lovely quiet location set within the Burren and close to the fantastic Fanore Beach. A high array of kitchen equipment and food stuff. Comfy beds and lovely bathrooms. Property was immaculately clean.
Place is in a perfect location very cute You look out and you can see the Burrens Room qere were all clean
Check out is @ 10 where all other places we stayed at were 11am. Sorry was not able to fill out the survey since we arrive late .
