Quirky accommodation, great location.
Suited our needs very well for 2 couples. Great location for exploring Co Galway & Co Clare, and good selection of local pubs and restaurants within walking distance. Excellent Friday market in Kinvara. Communication from Tony (and Bernie on arrival) was excellent.

Enjoyable visit
Warm and cosy interesting property. Very conveniently situated in the heart of Kinvara..The manager was very friendly and helpful despite our late arrival due to ferry issues. Parking was not a problem even though the road was fairly busy at times.

Beautiful stay in a beautiful cottage
We were over the moon with the property and had the most lovely stay! The check in process was easy, with lady who checked us in was so welcoming & helpful, giving us lots of info about the property and local area. The cottage is beautiful & quaint and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. It has a lot of character (just like the town) and is very cosy. Kinvara is a special place, the cottage is right by 2 shops and a handful of old traditional pubs where we met lots of friendly locals. It's also right next to the harbor and a short walk from the castle which are both lovely, We hired a car, which I would recommend as it allowed us to get around and explore the Burren area and drive to Galway easily - make sure to check out some of the caves in the area ! It's difficult & can be time consuming when choosing somewhere to stay, but we honestly couldn't have picked a better place to stay, both in terms of the property and the location! Thank you for everything :)
