Why John and Adrienne Mc Mahon chose County Clare
John was born in this area of Co Clare and has a lot of family connections there. We like to spend our free weekends there when we can and love to take walks in the surrounding countryside or along the nearby beaches.
What makes this house unique
The number one benefit is quietness away from the hassle of every day life. The scenery is breathtaking and never ceases to amaze one.
Guestbook comments from the owner
Two wonderfully weeks we spent right here. Catching crabs in Ballyvaughan and boating to Innisheer. Dipping in the sea from Doonbeg to Fanore. Exploring Allwee Cave, braving the cliffs of Moher. To Killfenora on Thursdays for the weekly celi and Poll ns Bron dolmen – the oldest one yet. In Bunratty Castle, a trip back in time. Then the beautiful Burren carved out in lime. With monopoly and chess up above in the loft to keep the kids amused when days were ‘soft’. And as for the house: it’s a real Gold Nugget. Thank you so much – go raibh mile maith agat.

Brilliant Location Along the Wild Atlantic Way
We very enjoyed our stay at this cottage which was large enough for the 5 adults in our group. The cottage was very clean and comfortable. The location of the cottage was perfect for our planned day trips: golfing in Lahinch, ferry at Doolin, caving in Ballyvaughn, family visit in Ballinasloe. Some highlights for future guests would include horse back riding ay Mountain View (the owner Peter is terrific), the roadside pub and Burren smoke house in Lisdoonvarna. Lisdoonvarna is a nice little down that we considered home base and frequently daily to get coffee, news paper, provisions and beer/wine. There is a grocery store as you pull into down on the left (MACE?) that sells everything.
We had a fabulous time and loved your cozy cottage! We used the fireplace every night!
The cottage location was perfect for the sites we wanted to see. We loved our stay at your cottage. Maybe someday will be able to come back!
Excellent location, beautiful views, and wonderful house
We had a great stay at John and Adrienne's place, and found everything to be better than we could have expected. The views are lovely and always changing, and the house itself is cozy, attractive and well-supplied. We were so happy with our stay and can recommend this place highly!
Excellent
Perfect location for exploring the area. The cottage is very well equipped and comfortable. The views and immediate surroundings were spectacular. Hope to return!
Wonderful
The place was beautiful and owners were very sweet and helpful
Spectacular
This cottage completely exceeded our expectations. John was an extremely welcoming host with the requisite tour of the facility and furnished us with a complete guide of attractions in the area (and there are many!). Sitting outdoors into the long Irish evening with a bit to eat and a glass of wine while overseeing the exquisite view was just what we had hoped to experience while on our vacation. Should there ever be chance to return to Ireland this area AND this cottage in particular would be first on our list!
Map
Flaggy Shore is half a mile of coastline at Finvarra, County Clare. The shore is at its most beautiful on an evening after a light rain, with the setting sun above. This is when the soft limestone rock, wet from the rain and eroded into fantastic rounded shapes by the sea, reflects all of the colours of the sunset like a giant mirror in the landscape. Small wonder that this place inspired the late Irish poet and Nobel Laureate Seamus Heaney.
