We had a lovely 4 days 3 nights at John's cottage in Kilfenora. It was just as shown on the site and in fact was even more spacious than expected. Clean, well-appointed. The house is right on the road, which was of concern to me, but the walls are thick, the windows thermal-pane and the town has very little traffic, so noise was never a problem. John and his family live right behind the cottage, so are always available if you need them, but otherwise one is not even aware that they are there, so it feels quite private. We really enjoyed being in a non-touristy town in the Burren. Even though the Heritage Center is right down the road and tour buses stop there, it feels very quiet and sleepy. Walking around the glass covered Cathedral ruins in a drizzle we had the place to ourselves and it felt so peaceful. Nearest grocery store is about 10 min drive to Ennistymon, and a night of music in Doolin is about 15 min drive. Basically you are about 15-20 min to everything in the region!
