This delightful cottage just off the main road of tiny Kinvara is perfectly located for excursions to Galway or the Wild Atlantic Way. The owners have thoughtfully restored it so that there is lots of light and space, including a large dining table in the kitchen, TVs in every room, and a sweet little garden and yard that comes complete with a traditional Irish stone fence. We were blown away by the welcome basket of still-warm local brown bread and scones, as well as the partly stocked fridge of water, milk and butter/jam. Your proximity to the main street makes it easy to pop up to the market and get anything you need, and the owners have supplied the cottage with coffee maker, kettle, pots, pans, dishes, etc. So you can make your own meals — but I highly suggest heading to Merriman, Keogh’s, or Ishka for some of the best, fresh, local food you can get your hands on. We had a vegetarian in our midst and she was blown away by the excellent options for her (better than Dublin!) Parking is very convenient and getting in and out of the town is ridiculously easy. There’s also a petrol station up the road. The house (and Kinvara) have everything you need for a warm and welcoming trip to Ireland’s west coast. On a specific note — Ann Marie is a treasure, as is her husband/boyfriend, who both dropped by to help with a broken light fixture and to check on us. Lovely. Also Bridget was wonderfully communicative and immediately responded to wifi questions and other things. I would definitely book again — but just as a single. Because that house filled with three women who’ve known each other 30 years? Too. Damn. Much. :) Thanks for a lovely stay!
