What a wonderful stay we had here at Shorehaven. It was the perfect place for a relaxing few days to end our touring in West Clare. Mike and Tina were great hosts. Clear communication. Well appointed kitchen, thoughtful amenities, and immaculate. Sweet and comfortable cottage on the water. And literally, ON the water. The sound of waves right outside, and spectacular sunsets. Several seating areas outside and in the “sunroom” for relaxing and taking in the views. Good location for quick run to shops etc, , nice area for walking, and great spot for touring wild Atlantic way. Will be returning!

What a great place to stay on the water. It's quiet this time of year, which was what we were looking for. We still saw a lot ... The Cliffs of Moher aren't far, and the cliffs at Kilky are even nicer, IMHO. Our hosts were excellent. They had left some snacks as a welcome gift and were helpful with a late checkout. We will definitely stay there again.

The conservatory with ocean views is the star of the show. It was lovely to sit and watch the ocean and the birds. It must be amazing in the summer. There's plenty of kitchen equipment. A well-stocked convenience store is a 10-minute walk away. The house is a great base for visiting County Clare. There are lots of attractions nearby. SatNav does better on the bigger roads in the area. Good communication with the hosts. We would stay here again.

Why they chose this property

Quiet and peaceful on the village outskirts, this cottage, backing onto the Atlantic Ocean with its ever-changing moods, is a fully equipped 3 bedroom property, perfect for your stay.

What makes this property unique

Unrestricted ocean view of the Atlantic with its ever-changing moods and tides. Laze away in one of Shorehaven's hammocks or shoreside seats while lapping waters soothe away your cares.
Your biggest decision of the day could be, 'Will I have another beer...or opt for a glass of wine and some cheese...' :-)
