About this house rental

The Core House is situated in the beautiful coastal village of Ballyvaughan, in the heart of the Burren. Surrounded by limestone mountains on one side and the sea on the other, Bishops Quarter sandy beach and our family farm are only 1km away. The village has a supermarket, convenience store, restaurants, pubs, tea room, coffee shops, walking trails and one of the oldest caves in Ireland, The Aillwee Cave. Childminder and farm tours are available upon request.
There is a rental property attached to the side of The Core House ("The Core Lodge") which is a 2-bedroom house and is available to book on VRBO also.

We spent the month of July at the Core House in Ballyvaughan. It was amazing. The home has everything you need for a comfortable home base for seeing the sights of the Wild Atlantic Way and Tara was responsive when we had questions/issues. We also found the small town to be charming and the Guinness to be cold. We especially enjoyed meeting Margaret, the bartender (probably grossly underselling her role) at O'laclainn pub - highly recommend.

The Core lodge is located at a beautiful spot. The views are breathtaking. Tara our host was so gracious she left use home made bread, milk and treats. I would highly recommend the Core Lodge for your vacation.

This property is wonderful. The setting is beautiful! Tara and her family are great hosts. Grandkids enjoyed the cows, donkey and farm visit. Our three generation family loved Ireland and will be back. Thank you for a special memory.

This is an excellent property, have nothing to complain about. Well equipped kitchen. Few minutes drive to Ballyvaughan village. We had 3 adult couples, 2 kids and one baby. 4 en suite bedrooms suited us perfectly. Large kitchen with washing machine and drier. Sitting room with ample seats. Large dining room with another sofa. Location perfect for exploring cliffs of moher; Ailwee caves and caherconnell fort. Also an hour from Bunratty which is worth doing. Fanore beach 20 mins away, lovely sandy beach. Few options for food in the village, Monks was amazing. Tara the host was responsive and very friendly. I’d highly recommend.

Despite the poor weather we had a great stay at The Core Lodge. Tara was a responsive host and her father is a true gentleman, our kids visit up to the family farm was one of the highlights of our time in Clare. The house is spacious and well stocked. There was no bother from the friendly dog and resident of the small attached abode. Recommend highly to eat in Linnanes Lobster Bar nearby!!

We had a wonderful staycation in Tara’s beautiful house. Plenty of space with 4 lovely en-suite bedrooms. Tara left us a welcome package of wine, scones, milk and home made jam. Very thoughtful of her. The children loved all the space and especially the front garden. Tara very kindly replaced our towels after our first week and we also enjoyed a lovely visit to her family farm. This is a beautiful house in a wonderful location and when the weather is very good, spectacular sunsets.
