We had a great stay in Kinvarra with our dog, Cher. The cottage was cozy but surprisingly large. There was lovely fresh scones and brown bread on arrival and tea bags and milk.
The cottage was clean with 3 toilets and 3 showers. Water pressure in the shower was great. The Bluetooth speaker and Netflix on the smart TV were great for a rainy few hours in.
The cottage is a 2 minute walk from the centre of the village and euro spar. Easy to grab a coffee in the village every morning. Sextons pub is 30 seconds walk from the cottage and we stopped in here almost every night. It is a proper small country pub with a lovely pint of guinness.
If you walk the other way you are straight away in the country side. Within a 5 minute walk we saw donkeys, chickens, sheep and cows, as well as beautiful views of the Burren and stone walls.
You are on the wild Atlantic way so a drive in any direction is amazing. The coast road towards Doolin is beautiful. We brought Cher, the dog, to Fanore beach (35 min drive) along this road. Spectacular beach. We even got in for a swim, in October. You also have to check out the Hazel Mountain Chocolate factory which is a 10 minute drive from the cottage into the heart of the Burren.
All in it was a perfect cottage and location. Benifits of a village with the beauty of the country side.
