    The small shower in the upstairs bath-definitely was NOT an issue, though. We are just spoiled Americans with large baths in the States!

    It is a cozy thatched cottage!!! It was centrally located in the vicinity of all of our travels. It is in a small village and convenient to be able to walk to coffee shops or to restaurants and grocery store nearby. There is even a castle right across the street with views from the window’s!! The owner is so thoughtful - the cottage has a wood stove for fires and came and filled it, then cleaned and vacuumed it for us so that we could use it again. There was also plenty of available wood which was replenished daily. We also frequented a local restaurant in the village Pier Head Bar and Restaurant. The owner, Michael, treated us like family, also, and always made sure we were well taken care of. The food was outstanding and the service impeccable!

    It was cozy and comfortable. It felt like Ireland. Was so nice in the middle of our trip to be able to do some laundry and get a little down time. Everything was clean and comfortable. Grocery was within walking as well as the local pubs! The people of Kinvara are wonderful!

    Unfortunately, the great location and high comfort level have their price, but we would still come back anytime.

    We (4 adults, 2 kids) stayed at the blue cottage for the second time already and immediately felt at home again. Except for a few minor kitchen items and some blankets, the house has everything one needs to feel comfortable. Fire wood, (dish)washing detergent and other helpful ammenities are provided.

    Coach tourists coming in the garden constantly and leaving the gate open. This became quite irritating: one group even tried to open the door of one of the cottages! Possibly more “No Entry” signs needed.

    Spacious, comfortable, picturesque. Very well-equipped.

    Amazing location in a quaint little town with a beautiful castle just across the road from the cottages. Very spacious, clean, and relaxing. Casual 10 minute walk to the local pubs and restaurants. Host met us and was very helpful, gave us lots of tips on where to go. Loved it! This would be an amazing place for a small family reunion or friend gathering if all three cottages were rented, because it has a large garden in back. Very beautiful! Castle has medieval banquets you can attend if you prebook too!
