Absolutely beautiful cottage in the Burren. Everything was clean and well kept, good communication with owner, gorgeous garden, overall a very comfortable 3 day stop for our party of 4 visiting from the USA. We especially loved the welcoming treats left by the host. The location was perfect for our stops at the Cliffs of Moher, Burren Perfumery and Galway. Would highly recommend!

We really enjoyed our stay and Connie was a great host. The location is central to many great activities while still being rural and remote. Note that most restaurants are 10-15 minutes away down some tricky roads, so save the cocktails for when you get home.Showers are very small and beds are cozy, but it's all part of the charm if this beautiful cottage

This was such a beautiful cottage with a fantastic garden. Plenty of room, and our host was very responsive when we couldn't get the stove to light (totally our confusion being in a new country). We enjoyed chatting with our host when she came to help us out. It was also very helpful to have the washer and dryer in the rental. We truly enjoyed our stay here and would stay again!

Delightful tranquil house and garden. Glorious use of colour and style. Connie such a friendly helpful host and a mine of local information and contacts. Lovely conversations together. Would love to return. Locally Oir and monks had great food. Caher Bridge Garden with Karl Wright is so inspiring and worth a visit if open as is Burren perfumery. Thank you Connie for a lovely time.

A delightful, colourful and warm stay.

The Burren is such an exceptional landscape, and at the end of the lane was an estuary with curlew and other wonderful birds. The cottage itself was delightful, very colourful and warm - and excellent hosts on hand next door.

Myself and my family had a wonderful week's stay at Aisling Cottage in the Burren. The house was stylish, well-appointed and comfortable with a marvelous atmosphere and the gardens were large and beautiful, perfect for two energetic young children to run around in! Check-in was well-managed with the owner living close by and she even went so far as to bake us welcome brownies on our arrival - a very classy touch. A great base to explore the beautiful Burren and farther afield. Highly recommended.

Dear Donna my sincere apologies once again.

Our Week at Aisling Cottage

Our stay at Aisling Cottage was one of the highlights of our trip to Ireland. It was close to all the places we wanted to visit in the Burren. The cottage was comfortable and had all the necessary conveniences covered for our family. The garden was lovely. Connie was a gracious host. Tea and delicious sweets were available when we arrived. We would definitely stay there again!

Delightful Cottage

The first thing I have to note is how good the tap water tastes! I was pleasantly surprised how crisp it tasted. The cottage and Connie were so wonderful, left my family feeling like we were in a fairytale. The bright colors inside and full garden in the back made our visit so beautiful and happy. I would highly recommend staying here!

Perfect Spot!

Our family had an amazing stay at Connie’s cottage! She is so wonderful. The cottage is literally right on the Wild Atlantic Way. We used it as our home base in the west of Ireland and drove up and down the coast to see so many different parts of the country. The cottage is so charming and very clean. Connie was happy to answer questions and give us suggest of places to go and things to do. We would 100% go back!

Fabulous purple cottage

The purple cottage is the perfect base for a west Ireland stay. Connie is a wonderful host and the property could not be more charming. Walk from your driveway down to the water in the evening after a day of discovering all that the Burren, Galway, and Doolin have to offer. A truly lovely experience. Thank you!

Just off the road to The Cliffs of Moher but tucked away. Very little road noise (especially in evening and at night). Very comfortable indoors and lovely garden outside- shared with second let. Lovely cakes on arrival - thank you! Kitchen was OK though matches needed for lighting stove.
