  Loved Aisling Cottage! Didn't meet Sean, but Connie was a delight. The cottage was a perfect location for our daily drives. We went to Clifton, Ashford Castle, Doolin, Cliffs of Moher and of course, the Burren. One of our favorite pubs was in Kinvara, I think the name was "Keough's". I can't remember all we saw. Ballyvaughn had several nice pubs and a neat grocery. The cottage was comfortable, cozy and conventient. Definately would go back.

  This cottage is absolutely lovely. And Sean and Connie were fabulous hosts - friendly and available when needed, but never overbearing. Our stay was absolutely wonderful. The location is a great homebase for exploring the burren and a comfortable nest for hanging around and relaxing.

  My husband, sister and I stayed at Aisling Cottage this past June. We have all been to Ireland before but have never had a trip so enhanced by the kindness of people. Every place that Sean and Connie recommended led us to amazing food, music, people, places, and memories that we will all keep with us forever. The cottage was so much more than we expected, it was such a comfort to be there. It was a first for us to anchor in a place and really get to know the people and the area. The Burren is such a magical place and we will be back to explore more of the most unique landscape I have ever encountered--hopefully soon! Rena and Thomas from Daly's Pub hold a special place in our hearts, as well as Connie and Sean. We all feel so lucky to have had such a grand experience.

  Aisling Cottage exceeded expectations in every way. This was our first vacation outside of the US so we were a bit nervous about many things, but our week in the Burren was extraordinary! The cottage was perfect -- a home away from home. (I wish I was sitting at that kitchen table right now, enjoying a cup of tea.) We had all of the conveniences we needed, and yet we felt like we were away from the hustle and bustle of our busy lives, transported back in time. Our landlords were helpful, friendly, and provided much-needed directions and information and the location was extremely convenient for touring the sites. Waking up every morning to that incredible garden was a special treat. I'll spend many hours to come, thinking about our week at Aisling Cottage, dreaming about the possibility of returning some day ...

  Ah. Well now. To be fair, this cottage is as authjentic as it gets. It feels like home though it isnt; I wanted it to and it did, even though it wasnt. A warm welcome. A great location; well equipped and private. A beautiful garden - wonderful location - great hosts; really great hosts. Go there. Observe. Absorb. Appreciate. Add something. Go. Return. Love the experience.

  This was our first trip to Ireland, but will most definitely not be our last. Aisling Cottage was cozy and charming and the perfect place to stay. It was convenient to Shannon Airport, and was ideal for relaxing after a day exploring the Burren and beyond. It was mere minutes from walks along the shore, to admire a ruined abbey, or explore Bronze Age archaeological sites. We used it as a base for day trips to Inis Oírr, Clonmacnoise, Galway, and Cashel. Seán and Connie were friendly and welcoming and provided wonderful suggestions for exploring and eating.

  Owner response: Hi Tina and Todd, We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay with us here in the Burren. There is nothing quiet like the feeling that we helped to make your trip special. We have been blessed with such great guests so far it really is our pleasure. Until we meet again, warmest wishes. Connie

  Having travelled to Ireland over 2 dozen times over the past 30 years, I can say that this accomodation was the most comfortable and welcoming in my experience. The setting is beyond compare in the Burren landscape, down the road from Ballyvaughan and well within reach of day trips to Galway, Ennis, Doolin. If you love the west of Ireland as I do, then I highly recommend you spend a week in this wonderful cottage, where t is brilliant the owners always available and giving and Ireland surrounds you.

  Owner response: Hi Stan We feel so very lucky to live full time in the midst of this incredible landscape and really enjoy pointing our guests in the direction of the hidden Burren.I always feel that it is so important to get to know the part of the country you are staying in, in order to appreciate and enjoy the experience. We are so glad that you enjoyed Aisling Cottage the music and the sights around the Burren. 'Till we meet again all the very best. Connie

  We received a great welcome and our children felt at home immediately in Aisling Cottage and its wonderful garden. It is a charming stone cottage with cheery paintwork and a feeling of home, with plenty of interesting artwork all around. It is in a great location with all the beautiful sights of the Burren close by. We went down to breakfast to find neighbouring peacocks looking in the windows at us. We have stayed in several houses in the area and this is definitely the one we all plant to return to.

  This is a traditional warm and atmospheric place to stay near the sea in a unique, unspoiled and beautiful landscape influenced by the forces of nature and thousands of years of human settlement. It is very well located for exploring the Burren hills and coast, an area rich in heritage and culture. It is 10 minutes from Ballyvaughan and Kinvara with good pubs, restaurants, and music sessions, closer still to New Quay a small harbour with a nice pub and restaurant. Dalys pub is within crawling distance and 30 minutes drive will get you to the lively, cosmopolitan and alternative Galway City. The owners are involved in the Arts, Music and Culture in the area and further afield, they are knowledgable about the Heritage and goings on in North Clare and are genuinely friendly and helpful.
