About this cottage rental

NOTE: We normally rent from Saturday to Saturday, so please try to honor those days if at all possible. If you MUST make an exception, please ask to see if we can work it out for you.

We feel we have one of the best views in Ireland, located right on Galway Bay on the 'Wild Atlantic Way', and in a picturesque, friendly little village only 1 hour from Shannon Airport. The cottage also has great views of the famous Burren Mountains out back. We know you would enjoy your stay here as much as we have so many times for 28 years.
The owners have lived in the cottage full time for several years and have made many improvements inside and out during this time. The cottage is completely re-wired, and new kitchen cabinets installed. We also have made an effort to present this as a typical 1950's cottage. Because of this you may find some inconveniences, however we have tried our best to make you comfortable. The cottage has a queen bed in the master BR, and two single beds in the small BR, so it comfortably sleeps 4. The living room has 2 Futon couches, which could sleep 2 more adults, but, with only one bathroom and the cottage being quite small, it is too tight for more than 4 people, unless you are VERY friendly!
Ballyvaughan village is a one mile picturesque walk along the coast, and has a variety of shops worth visiting as well as a number of fine pubs and restaurants. Centra market also has a wide range of food you can purchase if you want to cook at home, and the cottage is equipped with most every cooking utensil you might need. Traditional music can be heard at some of the pubs in town on certain nights - you'll have to inquire as to schedules, etc. Music starts around 10PM.
The Ballyvaughan area is a mecca for walking and a Burren trail map is available at Centra Market in the village centre. There is a fine beach off the road to Kinvara about 2 miles outside the village known as Bishop's Quarter. The College of the Burren (Art College), off the road to Lisdoonvarna, has a walking trail as well as a restored castle worth seeing. Rainy day activities include Ailwee Cave, not far from town, which features prehistoric bear dens in addition to impressive stalactites and stalagmites. It also has an excellent gourmet shop worth visiting, with Burren made cheese and other tasty treats.
For the golfers, Lahinch is only a half hour drive, and the Galway Bay golf course in Oranmore features a fabulous setting on the Bay and is only a 45 minute drive as well.
If you are not driving or don't want to drive, there are two efficient taxi services in town, and there are bus schedules in the cottage to Galway and other areas with return times. These leave from Centra Market in town. We are sure that you would have a great time here and enjoy the cottage and the area as much as we have!.

Four adults stayed in this lovely cottage perfectly located on Galway Bay. Friends referred us and we will refer others without a doubt. We flew into Shannon Airport and drove approx. 1 hour to the cottage. The morning view of the Bay each morning with coffee/tea was fabulous. Visiting Doolin Ferry to the Aran Islands, Galway, Kylemore Abbey from here was easy. The Burren surrounding us was great for hiking and to see Aillwee caves with the birds of Prey sanctuary allowing the audience to be a falconer during the presentation. The cottage was comfortable for all of us. The Centre Market was a quick trip to downtown and has everything needed to cook-in and the people working there are superb. Mini apple pies in a bag were yummy. Also, pick up some Irish Turkey Burgers too. We absolutely loved these with some fresh Brioche buns from the market. Make reservations at Monk's Pub to secure your selected mealtimes. The food here was very good and the staff friendly. Caution - desserts are big! Leaving the cottage to continue our journey throughout Ireland felt like I was actually leaving home. Had a little heart pang which surprised me personally. This was a memory making stay and magical time for myself, husband, brother and Sister-in-law on our first trip to Ireland.

Nice and cosy cottage for families up to 4 persons. Perfect to calm down after a long day trip. We had a pony family as neighbours, which was the highlight for the kids.

A beautifully quaint cottage on the bay. Cozy and well furnished. The views from the front window were spectacular and we enjoyed the walk in to town. It was convenient to Monks restaurant and a short drive to the Centra grocery store. Bus was easy to catch at Centra if you want to go to Galway for the day. The cottage had written instructions that covered just about everything. It was spotless and fresh when we arrived. The shower in the bathroom is a little tight but we were able to manage just fine. If you are looking for a true Irish cottage to stay in, I highly recommend this one.

We loved everything about our stay in Ballyvaughan!The cottage is so cozy, perfect for us (family of four), with the most amazing views across Galway Bay. Photos just don't do it justice.The town itself is so friendly and is just the perfect base from which to explore the West Coast of Ireland. Everywhere in Clare is within easy reach, as well as further North into Galway and Connemara.Just a perfect spot. We will definitely be back!
