What an absolutely great place. Kinvara is a friendly little village with multiple pubs and restaurants. The place though was really enjoyable. It feels like a home and you are right in the middle of town. We loved being a local. We had no issues parking and the people all around were awesome. We did not meet Tony but he helped us out tremendously and the lady, Aideen who helps them look after he place was also great. We actually met her at the pub by accident watching the re-finals between Dublin and Mayo. Kinvara is a good base to make trips from, keep in mind though if you have not driven Ireland before, you cannot measure the time it will take by the distance. Most of the roads other then large highways and motorways are small, narrow and will have farm machinery, tour buses and slower cars. Give yourself time. Going to the Aran ferries in Doolin took an hour going， and 35 min coming back. Again, great space and great hosts, would be very good for families.
