We, 2 families with young kids, thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Gleeston Cottage! Although there aren't many attractions on the doorstep in Kilmihil, it is a good base for exploring if you have a car. To the South Kilrush is 15 minute drive: we visited the aqua park and did a dolphin trip there - both highly recommended. We also went to Kilkee beach which is wide and sandy with clear water but lots of jellyfish.
To the north Lahinch and Doolin are a little further away at 35 and 50 minutes respectively but well worth a visit. The highlight of our trip was a trip to view the cliffs by boat and then to Inis Oir for beautiful swims at the clear turquoise and white sand beach where dolphins were spotted on the horizon.
The cottage is spacious, spotless and extremely well equipped and organised. There is a downstairs bedroom and ensuite that may suit people with accessibility requirements.
Beautiful garden with lots of seating and BBQ. A well stocked centra shop opposite the house was very convenient for morning pastries and milk etc. The only takeaway we could find was pretty awful so we catered in most nights.
Communication with the host was easy and great effort has been made to ensure you have everything needed for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. I would particularly reccomended this place for families.
