An enticing, detached cottage in the spectacular Burren, this 19th-century retreat offers welcoming accommodation close to the west coast of Ireland. Sleeping four guests, the two-bedroom hideaway is situated 5 miles from the pretty seaport of Kinvarra in south-west County Galway. Just 3 miles from Traught Beach, it is well-positioned for coastal walks that take in spectacular views out across Galway Bay. Those who enjoy the great outdoors will also find opportunities for hiking, mountain biking and water sports in the area. Return to the cottage afterwards to soak up the sunshine in the enclosed garden or bask beside the oil-fired stove in winter. This cottage is a perfect choice for a small family with older children.

Enter the cottage to find carefully renovated, homely accommodation that has been arranged across a single storey. The open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner features everything you will require to ensure your comfort throughout your stay. There is a TV for watching your favourite programmes after your busy days out and a table at which you can dine or play games together. The kitchen area is equipped with all you need to help you cater for your party with your own ingredients. The property includes a double bedroom and a twin, where you can enjoy a relaxing night’s sleep. There is a family shower room.

Had a great stay at the cottage. The hosts were great, there to welcome us and show us how everything worked and also on the end of the phone when we needed them. House was lovely and warm, despite the cold weather. Enjoyed a local walk and a visit to the local pub. What more could you ask for.

The cottage is picture perfect from the outside and is in a stunning location. I found the inside a bit old fashioned and some of the equipment could do with updating. The owners are very kind and knowledgeable about the area.

We had the most enjoyable holiday this week. The cottage is a a beautiful location with everything you need. Our children, aged 4 & 7 loved it! The owner was so friendly and knowledgeable and gave us lots of local tips. Kinvara is a lovely little village to be close to. We would highly recommend the cottage to families!
