My family had a wonderful experience in Miltown Malbay at the apartment. It was a perfect place to base out of for the month we visited Ireland. Shona and her family were great hosts, with timely communication and accommodating our long stay by making special arrangements with the furniture and setting the apartment up with loads of DVDs and books for our older boy, as well as baby gear and toys for my one year old. When we arrived, Shona gave us some essentials (to tie us over until we could make it to the Supervalue - a 2-3 minute drive) and gave us a great list of places to eat and see (one of our favorites was the Cliffs of Moher- only 20 minutes away) with special tips about the local favorites. She was happy to answer questions and to make our stay as fun and comfortable as possible.
The apartment is very light, and the view is gorgeous- you can see the sea from the kitchen window. We would stay again in a heartbeat!
