This lovely home located just 10 minutes outside of Ennis was the perfect home for our large group of 9 adults. Communication with the host was prompt. Check in was great and got late check out no problem. Home accommodated all of us with enough bathrooms as well. The guest house with the hottub was great for one of our couples. You have sheep in your backyard which is very Irish. If you are touring around the west coast this is a perfect location. Would recommend this lovely home for small or large groups. Thanks so much for everything.

We took my mom for her 70th birthday, Ennis Retreat did not disappoint . The house was perfect, the views from the home were breathtaking . Quick trip into the quaint town of Ennis. Short drive to the Cliffs and about an hour to Galway . Mark is a perfect host, responds so quickly to any question. I would recommend his home to anyone looking for a little country but close enough to the pubs, cafes and restaurants . - One minor suggestion, house needs a full length mirror for us ladies to see our full outfit before going out on the town .. lol

The house is everything it said it would be and more. What a lovely county to explore with rugged coastline, forest walks and tourist trails… Clare has it all. Then to have a tot-tub to come home to in the evening, sheer bliss, what more can I say.

We booked this property in January because it had hot tub and we were planning on an Irish rainy holiday, as it turned out it came in very useful to cool down in the evenings. We were three generation family and plenty room for all. A short run to Ennis for outside dining and had many takeaways outside on the deck in the cool of the evening. The nearby lake was a great attraction for kayaking etc and Lahinch about thirty minute journey. A very enjoyable Staycation

Had a great time lovely house. Love to come Back

An amazing property in an amazing location! The house looks great online but it’s the small touches in person that make it perfect! Would highly recommend and am already in the middle of booking a second stay later this year! Can’t wait to go back!

Absolutely beautiful, spacious property with wonderful amenities.(TV Offerings were great!)The only slight drawbacks are: The back door was a little tricky to open and the deck around the hot tub is quite slippery when wet and/or frosty. We were careful, however, and had a fabulous stay. I would certainly recommend your retreat to my friends. Thank you very much.Jackie Briand

My daughter loved the kid friendly books and toys. We loved being able to spread out. Combined the homey feel of an Irish cottage with modern amenities. Would stay there again!

We enoyed our stay in this property very much. The place is roomy and very clean. Appliances, showers, other amenities were trouble-free. Close enough to Ennis to be convenient but far away enough to be quiet and relaxing. Recommend highly.

Wow!! This place was amazing! A spacious, beautiful home out in the country with all the amenities you could possibly need. This was the third and final home that a group of 8 of us rented during a two week visit to London and Ireland and it was easily the best of the three. As one person said, "Walking through the doors for the first time it felt like home." The hot tub was amazing and just what we needed to relax after the hustle and bustle of the previous 10 days and the house itself was roomy and beautiful. We even got daily visits from Charlie, the neighbour's friendly dog. While you'll likely want a car if you book this place (and the roads are a little tight if you're used to North American driving), Ennis is a short 10 minute drive away and has anything you need. We set up in this location for three nights and used it as a home base while making day trips to the Cliffs of Moher, Galway, and Ashford Castle for some falconry (highly recommended!!!). It was a great location for exploring the western side of Ireland and we would all highly recommend it to any groups looking for a place to stay in the area.

A bit tough to find, but once we did it was a truly wonderful experience! Close to all things in Co. Clare such as Galway, the Cliffs of Moher and the Burren. We will certainly recommend this property.

We loved our stay at the Eden retreat. It was bigger and more charming than i expected it to be. The location was great! We visited several sites in the area with no problem. It was a pleasant 'retreat" from the city. We enjoyed seeing the sheep every day and our visits from Charlie. The view was lovely. We used the hot tub several times and it was enjoyed by all. My husband kept referring to it as the Shire! We would definitely stay there again and recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing space and central point for visiting that area of Ireland. Thank you MarK!

Our group of five recently stayed three nights in the Eden Cottage Retreat. It truly lives up to its name. Booking was easy and Mark was always quick and helpful in his responses to any inquiry. He provided a wonderful overview of the area and excellent directions to the house. The house itself is beautiful, well kept and had all the amenities we needed. It is nestled away so you feel as if you are in your own little world at the edge of a wonderful vista of green hills, yet it's only a five to ten minute drive to shopping and restaurants. The house is also very near the M18, which links Ennis conveniently to Shannon Airport and runs from Galway to Limerick and beyond, making the house an excellent location for exploring the west of Ireland. We were able to easily take day trips to Ennis, Connemara, Galway, the Cliffs of Moher, and we even ventured as far as the Dingle Peninsula. Dingle was about two hours, but it is a beautiful drive and well worth the time, in my view. Had we stayed a bit longer, we may have used the hot tub, which is a nice bonus, but we were there long enough to get a visit from Charlie : ) I would highly recommend the Eden Cottage Retreat and we hope to return someday!

Our family of 9 stayed here for 4 nights. We were all very comfortable and loved how homey the house was. Beautiful country-like location just 10 minutes from downtown Ennis. Would stay here again!

Eden Retreat is the perfect place for a family vacation in beautiful County Clare, and a convenient base for day trips all over western Ireland from Connemara to Killarney. Located on a tiny back road in gorgeous quiet country, but just a 10 minute drive into lively Ennis. The property is accurately depicted and described on the Homeaway website. It was well-maintained, beds were very comfortable, appliances all worked fine, kitchen was well equipped, hot tub was awesome, wifi was good, fire place worked nicely, etc. The host was extremely helpful and answered many, many questions via email that helped us prepare for our first trip to Ireland. READ THE HOUSE MANUAL CAREFULLY. It has important information you will need to know, especially if you not used to Irish homes (which have some strange quirks if you are American, as we are). Great for kids: large yard with a play structure, adorable dog (Charlie) who visited each day from next door, cattle and sheep in the pasture, plenty of room inside the house and a nice TV. Accessibility: quite good. One of the four bedrooms (with queen bed) is on the ground floor, also a full bathroom with shower stall. No steps between the gravel driveway and the house. No area rugs. Paved walk runs around the house next to the driveway. Good for someone with a cane or walker. Bathroom rather small for a wheelchair, but the rest of the downstairs pretty good. Wooden floor downstairs, carpeted stairs and second floor. Cab to/from Ennis is about 13 Euros if no one wants to be designated driver. Cabs were easy to flag in town. We had good luck parking during the day at the Glor Irish Music Center, a couple of blocks away from the center of town, 8 hour parking for only 3.90 Euros, less traffic to contend with. Glor Irish Music in your GPS should bring it up. It is quite convenient to all the in-town grocery stores (maybe a five minute walk). The little grocery store on the Tulla Road near the house is more like a large convenience store. Dunnes is a vast store where you can buy about everything. We didn’t visit the others. Despite on-line claims that traditional Irish music happens “every night” in the pubs of Ennis, we found that on weekends they seem to go in for amplified American oldies. The locals told us that Monday through Thursday between around 8:00 and 10:00 p.m. is when you’re more likely to find traditional acoustic music, and indeed we had good luck on a Monday, especially at Cruises.

We could not have been happier with Eden Retreat. There were 6 of us, and we had plenty of room. It was a short distance from Ennis, a lovely Irish town. The house was very well equipped, however we chose to mostly eat out. It has a lovely hot tub room, but again, we never took advantage of it. We had such lovely weather the whole time we were there, so spent much of the time touring around. Mark was fantastic at advising of things to do, and places to eat in the area, and was quick to reply to any questions we had. We would not hesitate to stay at the house again, and in fact, already miss waking up to the sound of the birds in the morning.

Beautiful and clean property and enough room for a large group, Mark was very quick to respond to our needs, we did have difficulty finding an address for taxi service and lost luggage delivery, but with the help of google we were able to find the postcode which we found out was necessary when identifying location.

Eden Cottage Retreat was absolutely gorgeous. The house is located very close to Ennis City center with some great shopping and Pubs. Brograns had great food and had live irish music in the evening. It was about 45 minutes to the Cliffs of Mohr and about 2 hours to the Ring of Kerry. The house is fully equipped for everything you could need. The hot tub was an added bonus to warm up and relax after exploring the Irish country side. The house was perfect for our small family, but would definitely be able to accommodate a bigger group.

Mark was very informative upon our arrival. The house has tons of space and a great lot. Unfortunately, when we arrived the heat didn’t work and the house was REALLY cold. Anna was quite responsive to fix it the first day and when it went out the second time brought in a repair person. The house has some plaster work that needs to be fixed and it is showing some signs of wear and tear. Overall it was a good location and a lot of space for the four of us.

My family and I (4 adults & a 2 yr old) loved Eden Cottage. Mark was a pleasure to work with and responded quickly to questions. The house was spacious, yet cozy and a great place to relax after a day of traveling. The .hot tub was an added bonus for relaxing. Located a short 20 min. drive from Shannon airport, the house is close to the center of Ennis and within a reasonable driving distance to the Cliffs of Moher and other places of interest. We loved seeing the sheep in the pasture up the hill and the daily visits from a sweet dog, Charlie. Eden Cottage was a great fit for our family and our needs and would definitely stay there again if we visit the area.

We stayed here with our family of 5 (kids ages 12, 9 & 4). The house is very spacious and super comfortable and has all the amenities that a family could need or want. The kids enjoyed playing in the yard and LOVED our daily visits from the neighbor's dog Charlie - they would drop everything and run outside to pet him. We used this location as a home base for day trips to Galway, Cliffs of Moher, and Bunratty Castle. The town of Ennis is close by and wonderful to explore - lots of great places to eat. Quiet neighborhood, perfect for families and great home base in order to be able to explore more of Ireland's west coast.

Eden Cottage Retreat was the perfect place for a family group to stay. Larger than it looks in the pictures, convenient to Ennis and the M-18, everything we needed was there and working. Hot tub a terrific bonus after a day of exploring. Charlie the neighbor dog was a welcome visitor.

Easy to get to from Shannon airport and then we did day trips out west and the environs - none of which was too long of a drive. House was very well equipped and comfortable. Kids loved the hot tub. Fabulous week

Beautiful house, we all loved it. Perfect location for Cliffs of Moher & Galway. Would definitely come back and stay longer the next time.

We loved Eden Retreat! It was a great central location to Bunratty Castle, the Cliffs of Moher and Galway. The hot tub was great after a long day of sightseeing. The beds were very comfortable and it was great to have the comforts of home. We were able to enjoy breakfast before we headed out each day and cooked in several evenings. It is also only 25 minutes from Shannon airport.
