We have just got back after a wonderful week in this property the views and space are amazing. House is beautiful an 8 min walk into Ballyvaughan. Seamus met us at the house on arrival to let us know what to do with everything and also gave us lots of advice on where to go and what to do - which was a game changer. A week just doesnt seem long enough to explore the wonderful area and Ireland. We will be back Thanks for a fab week The Murphys, Smyths, Sharples, Kneales & Lathams

Ballyvaughn is the perfect location to enjoy hill walks, beaches, and small town ambience. Sycamore house is the perfect place to come back “home” after a busy day.

Three generations of our family (youngest aged 4) spent a week in this spectacular house in Ballyvaughan. Everything about it exceeded expectations - from Seamus’ friendly welcome onwards. The house is vast - loads of space for 4 families, each bedroom with its own en suite shower (and a separate bathroom too, great for the little ones). The kitchen is so well equipped, everyone could be seated for meals - the sitting room, too, is large and comfortable, with seating for all. The setting of, and views from, the house are stunning - a beautiful long garden reaches down to the water’s edge. A walk along the shore takes you to a small pier (where many happy hours were spent crabbing) and on into the village itself. There’s so much to do in the area. This stretch of coast is beautiful. The sea, the cliffs, the burren….we were spoilt for choice and would love to return.

we had a good time, everything worked and the place is beautiful.

Wonderful visit...beautiful property.

My extended family was looking for a large house on the west coast of Ireland. Sycamore House filled the bill. The property is beautifully situated overlooking Galway Bay in the tiny community of Ballyvaughan. The house is roomy and comfortable. The kitchen is large and reasonably equipped. Seamus is a gracious host and cared for our needs. The house had two quirks. First, the back door lock did not function properly and we had to leave it unlocked for most of our stay. I rather think that Seamus has repaired it by now. Second, the ornamental hood over the stove is a hazard for tall folks -- which most of our group were. At least four of us hit our head multiple times as we prepared meals. That being said, these are small problems. Overall, we greatly enjoyed this property and highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for lodging on the edge of the Burren.

Three weeks in this wonderful home with family and friends visiting. House and owner were both fantastic to us.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. Plenty of room for our family of 10 (ranging from 10yrs-46yrs). Seamus was very friendly and the home was outfitted with everything you need for your stay. Our family loved spending our nights by the fire in the living room and enjoyed looking out over the beautiful views of the bay during the day. Would definitely recommend this home to others!
