Heron Cottage is a welcoming and delightful blend of warmth, comfort, and Irish hospitality. It was a highlight of our family Christmas holiday and a great base for experiencing the west - the Burren, Galway, Cliffs of Moher, and wonderful villages and friendly locals along the “Wild Atlantic Way.”
Helen and Gerry are the best hosts! They are so friendly and charming. Great recommendations for sites, activities, local pubs and dining. They both went out of their way to ensure our whole family had the best time. We truly enjoyed meeting them and their friendly and gentle dog Karla.
The cottage features great design and build quality, comfortable furnishings, all the modern conveniences, breathtaking views, and some unexpected luxury touches like the sauna/spa room. The surrounding country roads and trails are great for outdoor activity and the adventure of driving on the left side of the road. It’s a short drive to stock up or enjoy local pubs and restaurants in Kinvara or Ballyvaughan, and there’s a great seafood place (Linnane’s) just about a mile from the cottage.

Imagine days of experiencing the best of Ireland’s west, then coming home to a glass of wine or a pint by the warm fire in a true “home away from home.” That’s what we experienced at Heron Cottage and we loved everything about it. We’re already planning our next visit.
