About this cottage rental

Kilbaha cottage is uniquely perched on one end of Kilbaha Bay in Loop Head, with panoramic views over the Atlantic and the ships and fishing boats that pass it's door. Set in ten acres just off the Wild Atlantic Way, it has a rocky cove on the shore and endless scope for exploration, be it with bucket and spade or binoculars.
Loop Head is still a well kept secret and visitors find it unspoilt and deserving of it's many awards. A recent one being the European Destination of Excellence.
The house has recently had an extensive refit, which kept all that makes it special, but adding a wet room, wood burning stove and a new shower area near the sauna.
The three bedrooms are double with the master suite having it's own bathroom.
A separate loft room over the kitchen is a quiet space to read or watch a movie and usually a gathering place for the children.
While there is a wonderful sense of remoteness in Loop Head you are never far from a great meal or a small harbour to pick up your lobster and crab for dinner.
You can see the lobster pots being emptied outside the house by the local fishermen, and drive to the harbour to get the freshest catch imaginable.

Please note our changeover day is Saturday.

Unbelievable views, beautiful home, amazing host. This was our first time getting away as a family in a few years, and it was by far our best vacation ever! Everyone unplugged, relaxed and unwound. The house does not disappoint. Ocean views from all the windows. There are not enough superlatives to describe it. We will be back again!

We really enjoyed staying here in this fabulous place. The setting is beautiful - crashing waves below and a gorgeous view to the sea. The house is wonderful, large with many amenities. It was great to be met by the host's mother to show us around the house. The owners are very responsive to any inquiries. We would definitely stay here again if we return to the Ireland.

We were so impressed by this property. The house is much bigger than appears in the photos, and beautifully decorated. Despite being isolated on a high cliffside with the dramatic Atlantic swells bashing against the rocks just below, the house is very calm and cosy, with a toasty fire for rainy days. Kitchen is well appointed and beds very comfortable. And the sauna was an unexpected perk after battling the wind and rain on Loop Head. We loved our week here, opening the curtains in the morning to a constantly changing seascape, with Kerry and the mountains of Dingle (we think) sometimes visible across the Shannon. The nearest shops are in Kilkee, about 20 minutes drive, and Tesco is 35 minutes away in Kilrush. Not many hiking trails, but the cliff walk from Kilkee and Bridges of Ross is stunning on a clear day. There aren’t otherwise many things to do in this part of Clare - and the beaches around Loop Head are distressingly filthy, including St Senan’s well, a small spring that runs through the property - but if you’re happy just to curl up with a book and a view of the sea, this place is magically restorative.

Our first time to Ireland, and I was very happy with my choice to rent this lovely cottage by the sea. The views from the cottage are truly breathtaking and the cottage is so cozy. Loved sitting by the wood stove at night after a long day of sight seeing. County Clare is beautiful and peaceful. Ciara was a wonderful hostess. If you are looking to see the beautiful country side of Ireland, this is the place to go.

Of course you must be aware that the place is very remote. So no spontaneous walk to the next pub or restaurant. But if you like a relaxing vacation, this is just the right spot no matter what time of the year. We spent a very cosy Christmas time in the cottage. After windy walks around the peninsula we enjoyed sitting in front of the fireplace with a cup of tea or a glas of wine. Would have enjoyed the sauna too (it was one of the reasons we booked this cottage) but unfortunately it was out of order. Nontheless we had an absolut wonderful time. The kitchen is very well equipped. Everything in the cottage is spotless clean. Would recommend the cottage anytime.

Just a beautiful cottage and location. We’ve stayed at Kilbaha Cottage on several occasions, but each time we are still amazed at the beauty of Kilcloher. The cottage is lovely as well. Clean, well supplied and tastefully decorated. Thanks for a brilliant holiday!
