About this cottage rental

Welcome, Bienvenue, Willkommen, Benvenuto, Bienvenido, Fáillte, Our cottage is just 1 mile inland from the Wild Atlantic Way, nestled between the Kyber pass to the west, and Slieve Elva to the east surrounded by the Burren hills of the Caher Valley. This unique karst landscape with its alpine flora is a haven for botanists and geologists. The fauna, including foxes, badgers, pine martins and wild goats roam freely over the hills and can be spotted using the binoculars that we provide for our guests. The Caher River is only a short stroll from the cottage offering a tranquil atmosphere for our guests and the Caher Valley Nature Reserve is located nearby. The cottage is perfectly situated as a starting point to many of the walking trails with spectacular views of Galway Bay. We provide maps and brochures featuring these trails.

The cottage is wheelchair accessible throughout so it's ideal for seniors. The master bedroom has a large ensuite bathroom and walk in closet. The main bathroom has a full/power shower and bathtub. Pitch pine floors throughout. Solar panels for heated water.

Our family took advantage of every lovely amenity and nuance of this wonderful cottage. We had puzzle night in front of the peat burning stove, we watched a fox family in the hedges and took the quick trip to the near by golden beach at low tide and investigated sea life. The cottage's kitchen is spacious and well stocked. The rooms are big & well appointed. We had a wonderful time.

We stayed for a week in July 2023 and used this cottage as a home base to explore part of Ireland’s west coast. My 12 year old daughter and 6 year old some both loved that they got their own rooms here, there is a huge bathtub, loads of games to play as a family, and so much space to spread out. The kitchen is clean and well stocked. This place has a washer and a dryer! Your closest beach, Fanore beach, is a great one. There are loads of other beaches to explore in neighboring towns. If you like to hike, this cottage is nestled in the Burren and super close to great hikes. We enjoyed the pub in Fanore, great fresh seafood. It’s not too big a trip into Galway only about an hour. And in the other direction staying here makes seeing the Cliffs of Moher and taking a boat to the Aran Islands very close too. We would stay here again. The hosts are responsive and have a lovely space to share for vacation.

This cottage is perfect. The rooms are spacious. The light is incredible. We were close to lots of really cool things by car. We were also close to more beauty than I’ve ever seen on foot. The area is very rural so make plans ahead for groceries and food. We were able to get enough signal from wifi to check emails and use google/limited social apps. Come prepared to entertain yourself, but there are plenty of books and games to help get you started. The hosts were wonderful and we enjoyed their fresh eggs with Irish butter and toast every morning. We had a visit from a neighboring cow who took a wrong turn and snacked her way back to her friends. This was the perfect spot for us.

The cottage is exactly as the pictures show. It is charming, warm and cozy. The peat fire was the perfect touch. The kitchen had everything needed to make wonderful meals. As stated the WIFI is spotty and there is no cell service at the cottage. We planned for this so it was fine. We would love to return for a longer stay.

Very comfortable, spacious home. Pretty location. Kitchen had everything we needed. Keep in mind this is a remote location so WIFI is not reliable. We were out a lot and didn’t use it much, but you you should also be aware that WIFI usage is limited so ask the owner about that in case it may be a concern for your stay.
