Tidy and comfortable

We enjoyed our stay, and found the cottage to be tidy and comfortable. It's an easy walk into town for supplies or a meal. It was a great home base for day trips, and the host was very responsive.

Beautiful area - friendly village, if you are going there make sure to meet Shauna the proprietor of the Wild Atlantic Hotel and pub - she is a walking knowledge on tourist information and great craic. Coffee served from 7am. Best pint of Guinness and best coffee we tasted on our trip. The house is very well insulated and the fire is great for heating up the place on those rainy days. Joe was very good with communication and addressing any of our queries. We had a wonderful time and would recommend - the cost of the electricity would be the only issue - a bit pricey.

Great family accommodations in Ballyvaughan

We loved our 4-day stay in the Caher Cottage in Ballyvaughan. There was plenty of space for our family of 5 (3 teenagers) and ample outdoor space to hang out as well. A very short walk (5 minutes!) to the pubs and shops in the village, a short drive to the Cliffs of Moher and Galway City. We tried almost all the pubs and restaurants, and got groceries at the SPAR in the village and cooked in the cottage. It was a fantastic place to stay, highly recommend!

The cottage location and amenities were excellent. Easy access to groceries, pubs etc. owner was easy to contact, friendly and responded promptly. The cottage, although roomy and homey was in need of some updating- showers, bedding. The mattresses were very soft and not supportive. Just a little updating and attention to detail/cleaning would have made this property 5/5 for me.

Cuisine très vétuste,peu de materiel pour cuisiner, les equipements succints et peu entretenus. L'ensemble du logement est mal isolé, la fenetre de la cuisine est impossible a fermer (d'où une consommation électrique excessive), la lunette des wc de l'etage cassée, pas de chauffage (signalé), literie avec matelas abîmé( ressort cassé).Logement sale dans sa globalité

Dejligt hus i skønne Irland

Vi nød opholdet i det hyggelige, velindrettede hus. Savnede bedre/større gryder, pander og skåle for madlavning til 7 voksne. Rengøring af bl.a loftsvindue påkrævet. Vi kommer dog gerne igen

location à eviter

Aucun accueil dans cette location globalement mal entretenue et sale. Mouches mortes, toiles d'araignees, moisissures diverses... Vaisselle douteuse, insuffisante et disparate. Eau chaude aléatoire avec compresseur trés bruyant. Mico ondes vetuste. Porte de la machine a laver cassée. Matelas souillé (Nous avons des photos de tout cela). Nous avons alerté le propriétaire et ABRITEL, sans retour pour le moment.. Le paiement de l'electricité nous a été soumis à un prix stupéfiant (0,52€ le kw/ au lieu de 0,25€ en moyenne en Irlande) Nous n'avons pas payé. Rien n'indiquait de le faire dans notre contrat. Nous aimons l'Irlande depuis 20 ans. Jamais en Europe nous n'avons vecu une telle deception. Nous revendiquons un dédomagement à la hauteur du préjudice subi... ABRITEL a promis d'y repondre. Affaire à suivre. Cette location devrait être retirée du marché. Les plaintes sont nombreuses et pour certaines, anciennes ! Bien cordialement P. ROLLAND

Could have been a lot better.

Location was very good, description was misleading. Not clean, beds very uncomfortable. Cottage felt cold & unused for 1st 3days, Had to get a replacement electric kettle & microwave. Eletric stove old & very slow. Information book was dated 2013 as was some items left in kitchen cabinets. We booked this before Covid, & should have been in Cottage #5 ? No explanation why we were changed to next-door. Not sure if it would have been cleaner/ better. Hot water couldn't coupe with showers & banged loudly when refilling. We were VERY disappointed, the Cottage could have been good if taken care of.

Good location, terrible mattresses

The good: Lovely location, very central to Ballyvaughan. Fine big back garden, great for kids to run around. The bad: Mattresses were terrible, you could feel every spring on each bed. The cot mattress was particularly bad and covered in stains. Overall the place needed a deep clean and the showers needed updating

We had a really enjoyable holiday in Caher cottage.

The cottage was very comfortable and clean and met all our expectations. The good weather meant we could enjoy the garden and uninterrupted views of the burren.

Great stay in a lovely location

Caher cottage is a great rural cottage in a perfect location for exploring the Burren and Co. Clare. The cottage is nice and spacious and for a group of eight was perfect. The owner responded quickly and professionally when contacted. Would highly recommend!

Ohje

Positives zuerst: die Lage keine 500 m vom Wild Atlantic Way entfernt ist super. Die Aussicht auf den Burren ist ebenfalls sehr gut. Allerdings muss man in dem Haus schon Glück mit dem Wetter haben, damit man möglichst viel woanders unternehmen kann. Zunächst waren wir (6 Erwachsene) etwas erstaunt, dass keine persönliche Schlüsselübergabe stattfand. Das Zurechtfinden in Haus und Umgebung blieb komplett uns überlassen. Der Vermieter ist trotz allem ein sehr freundlicher Mensch. Trotzdem: schon von Außen sieht man den Instandhaltungsstau, Innen wird es leider nicht besser. Da ist der viel zu laute Wasserboiler, der jedesmal, wenn sich jemand in die Dusche traut noch eins der kleineren Übel. Kleinigkeiten summieren sich hier zu einer Warnung: Glühbirnen waren defekt, Elektroinstallation teilweise lebensgefährlich, Spinnweben im ganzen Haus, Duschvorhänge, die nicht wirklich sauber sind, ein kaputter Kühlschrank (funktioniert zwar, aber man kann nichts in die Tür stellen), kaputte Waschmaschine (Glastür gebrochen), muffiger Geruch überall... Wir waren froh, dass wir a. gutes Wetter hatten (s.o.) und b. als wir wieder weg gefahren sind. Schade
