    • Staying at Ballyreen was a magical experience for our family. My wife and I brought our 3 children to Ireland and the stay at Ballyreen was amazing! There is complete peace and serenity, with no house between us and the Atlantic Ocean. Having never been to Ireland, we loved the look of the Burren, and we chose the right location. We traveled to other parts of the country, but found ourselves loving the Doolin area more and not wanting to stray far. The Cliffs of Moher are very near and Lisdoovarna has a nice market and some nice restaurants. Although our vacation is over, I feel as though my thoughts remained behind at Ballyreen. Thank you Maryann - it was a wonderful and memorable experience.

    • Ballyreen Cottage was just wonderful - the location was perfect, and the facilities were just what we were looking for. We sat by the fire and made a wonderful curry on the stove and took a walk down to the wild ocean and just had a marvelous time. Thanks!

    • We had a fabulous time at Ballyreen, and the cottage really felt like home to us. We had a couple of cosy nights by the stove with the rain outside - even our 16 year old daughter was charmed by it all! I enjoyed "chatting" with the cows over the garden fence. We all felt that it was the best equipped holiday house we have ever stayed in, and the library of books was much appreciated. I also loved being able to pick some fresh herbs from the garden. We felt quite sorry for the people in the new-build holiday cottages around Doolin, which looked quite soul-less compared with Ballyreen. We would come back in a minute!

    • Staying at Ballyreen Cottage was like stepping back in Time to the days when my Irish ancestors still walked Ireland. The views from the hill overlooking the Burren and the Aran Islands were perfect. Doolin is a very sweet town. And all of the back roads from the cottage led to villages, castles, ruins, and magical places where the "little people" must still be in residence. Because the entire experience was simply enchanting.

    • Staying at Ballyreen cottage does good things to the soul. It is a healing place that, with the surrounding environment of the burren, ocean, and vast open space, exudes relaxation and serenity. Our week here was the highlight of a 6 week trip through Ireland, Italy, and Portugal... Maryann, we cannot thank you enough.

    • We booked three cottages throughout Ireland for our vacation and none disappointed, but Ballyreen reigned supreme! The location was just what we wanted and the cottage more than met our expectations. We were thrilled with the amenities and all the touches of Provence as well! It was our cozy refuge from the rains and a quiet oasis in the sun with a cup of tea - we would recommend Ballyreen in a heartbeat!

    • From the moment you set eyes on Ballyreen cottage, there’s a smile on your face. It charms you at every turn. Attention to detail is evident everywhere. And what a surprise when you walk a few yards to the crest of the hill to be greeted by the most beautiful view... Sigh. We didn’t want to leave.

    • Driving up road towards Ballyreen Cottage, the anticipation grew. We were not disappointed at what we found. The cottage is everything it boasts. The house is in a lovely, private location. The quiet is wonderful. The hike down to the rocky shoreline is well worth the effort. Serenity at its best. The cottage is tastefully appointed, quaint and comfortable. Everything that you need to set up housekeeping is available. The beds are comfortable and inviting. There is a great selection of books available, good cookware, fluffy full towels and a drawer full of helpful information about the Doolin area. I highly recommend a stay at this charming cottage. If you are looking for peace, quiet, talented decor and the occasional mooing of a cow, this cottage is the place to stay near Doolin!!
