8.0 / 10.0Excellent·May 2025
The property was a bit tricky to find, as there’s no name or signpost—just number 5. Luckily, we arrived while the host was tidying up after the previous guests, which helped us locate it. The place itself was lovely, though it’s showing a bit of wear here and there. We’ve shared some suggestions with the host and trust they’ll be taken on board. That said, the location is fantastic, and we were blessed with beautiful weather—perfect for relaxing in the garden and exploring the surrounding area. All in all, a very enjoyable stay!

We booked this cozy cottage for two weeks in mid-October. Donna was wonderful. She reached out prior to the stay to chat through the VRBO site and as we got closer she shared things to do and see in Louisburgh and other close towns. We communicated through Whats App once we landed at Shannon Airport (2.5 hours away). She met us at the house to show us how to use the applicances, turn on the water to the showers, lock the doors, etc. She also had flowers and a card for our wedding anniversary (which I had mentioned to her previously) Even a chocolate cake! So kind. Since it was off season, only a handful of restaurants were open during the week (mostly open on Friday and Saturday) but there is a small grocery store in town if you want to get something to cook at the house. A bigger grocery store is in nearby Westport which is about a 15 minute drive from Louisburgh. The kitchen has everything you need - pots, pans, utensils, plates, etc. The TV near the kitchen is a SmartTV. Towels are proved and there are hair dryers to use. The house is in a nice quiet street with easy walk to restaurants in town, McNamara's Pub and the beach (great sunsets when the sun finally came out!). We were able to just relax and enjoy the downtime. Highly recommend this house.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Sep 2024
Attractive home with very comfortable furnishings. Kitchen was well stocked with utensils, dishes, etc. We loved the sizes of the rooms and living areas. One improvement would be to provide an automatic drip or percolator coffee maker to complement the French press and providing small amenities such as shampoo.
A walk into the very small town required navigating unfamiliar narrow country roads potentially in darkness depending on time of day.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Apr 2024
The house is well equipped in some ways - linen, kitchen, etc. but overall starting to look its age so that it's comfortable but certainly not luxurious. Great mattresses, though.Probably good for families. Our one complaint was that it was advertised as having a hot tub which we definitely wanted but it was a mistake in the description.
