Our family of 6 (2 adults + 4 kids 5-16) had a great week here in late July/early August. The seemingly small cottage is very spacious inside; the kitchen/diner providing a great hub for meal times, the living room a cozy resting place at the end of each day, and the upstairs bedrooms in particular are very big. With large gardens front, side and rear there's plenty of space for the kids to run about safely, and for the grown-ups to sit in the sun. We were blessed with mild weather so didn't need the heating on, but one night had a lovely fire of peat briquettes just to enjoy the coziness and the wonderful peat aroma.
This is a great base to explore the Burren, Glaway as well as the rest of Clare; there's plenty of places to eat and drink in Ballyvaghan and surrounding villages, but for us, the best bit is the wonderful beach so close by at Bishops Quarter, just cross the road and follow down the lane. Great walks along the dunes, and the kids had hours of fun catching crabs from the little bridge. We got to the beach every day without fail - even on the couple of days when the wild wind blew off the Atlantic.
A super stay in a superb location. A true home from home nestled in between the hills and coast of rural County Clare.
