“Lovely homely house from which to explore west and north Clare” Modern but characterful house, spacious, lots of natural light, great views to both Cliffs of Moher and the Aran Islands. If you're looking for a peaceful break to recharge your batteries, Gorse Cottage fits the bill. Two or three pubs close by in Doolin with good food and music as well. Get one of the local guides (we recommend Mary Howard) to show you and explain the Burren. If you're a cyclist, do the coast road to Fanore and Ballyvaughan, it's a lovely ride.

“An enchanted place” Herons Cove Cottage is an enchanted place directly on the West Cork Coast where we spent two wonderful weeks. The house has everything you need for a short or for a long stay. The setting in Ballydehob Bay is beautiful, you can watch the bay, nature and the surrounding landscape from inside the house or from one of the lovely places around. The beauty of the cottage and all the carefully maintained details let us even forget one or the other Irish rain shower. You very well can explore West Cork from Herons Cove. On the practical side: it was important to have a car as Ballydehob is approximately 3 km away. If you are in for walking, running and similar activities you will appreciate the great scenery, but it can be steep at times. Thanks to Kathleen and Tony for two superb weeks, we are looking forward to coming back again.

“the very best.” such a wonderful holiday... truly needed a rest from home & work. 5 weeks that flew by sooo very fast. 1st couple of weeks on my own & then 1dear friend from wales & 1 from the usa. we were all happy in this beautiful house. Sheila was great host. could not have asked for more. and yes FRESH EGGS. i will be back in 2013. Thank you Sheila for a great holiday.

“Quaint and Quirky” Beautiful cottage surrounded by gorgeous scenery. The property was clean and had everything you could need and more. Sleeps 6 comfortably (Very comfy duvets)! Didn't use the conservatory but did use the games and rackets for outside. Plenty of garden space for outdoor play. Owner was very helpful and communication was excellent. If your looking for a peaceful break surrounded by natural beauty this is the place to go.

“Majestic Mountains” The scenery is stunning; the peace and tranquility unbelievable - the only sounds were from sheep, cattle or the occasional tractor on the mountain road. We had great weather which helped but I'd challenge you to find a more beautiful spot in Donegal. I loved to sit on the front step of an evening taking in the views and feeling calmed by the utter stillness all around. Sean was extremely friendly and accommodating and very easy to deal with. The house is grand - beautiful views from every aspect - the only niggle is that the WiFi is patchy (we could only access it once in 6 days) but having said that, that didn't bother me as I wanted to get away from it all and this location and accommodation hit the mark. The beautiful strand beach is 10 minutes walk from the house and never really packed (but watch out for the jelly fish)! If you are looking for a tranquil getaway in stunning surroundings, this is the place for you. I've visited many locations in Donegal over the years but this one stole my heart.

“Excellent home away from home to enjoy the sunny southeast.” This is a very nice chalet with excellent hosts (Georgina and Ian). The chalet was very clean upon our arrival which was to be expected but what was not expected was the warm homemade bread, homemade jams and several food items. Georgina was very helpful and answered all our queries with ease and good humour. The sunny southeast didn't always live up to its name but there are many indoor activities locally to keep you occupied. Heartily would recommed Windy Neuk for two or three people. Nightlife options are really the local restaurants and pubs.

“A wondrous Holiday!” I miss Knockatinna already, having spent a lovely two weeks in its embrace! It's truly in the country, but only a five minute drive from a delightful village (Glenbeigh - with several wonderful pubs, including the Olde Glenbeigh, with origins dating back to the late 1700's). The house was truly outfitted for "self-catering", with all kitchen accoutrements on hand. Linens, towels, etc., were amply furnished. The house is well heated, but for chill evenings, two fireplaces add to the charm of the place. From Knockatinna we toured the Ring of Kerry, the Dingle Penninsula (greeting Fungie, the friendly Dolphin in Dingle Bay), Blarney Castle, Cashel of the Kings and Cork City as well as Bunratty, Durty Nellie's and the unbelievable Cliffs of Moher. We enjoyed spectacular beaches, the Bog Museum, classic Irish farms and pastures, pristine lakes, and of course, embracing Irish hospitality served up by John and Kathleen O'Shea and their fabulous daughter, Laura. All made for a wondrous holiday which we would love to repeat as soon as possible.

“Mrs” Just spent a wonderful weekend in McEvoys self catering in Kilnaleck Cavan. We were a party of 6 adults and a 2yr old. Everybody was catered for. Excellent facilities. We had great fun in the games room. Would highly recommend this property.

“Holiday” Very clean and very good value for money well lovely every minute of are stay michelle and her family were helpful and very nice people the cottage was warm and clean thank you michelle x

“Sun, sand, seashells and a very cozy cottage - pure recreation!” We very much enjoyed our stay at The Dunes. The hosts thought of everything a family might need or enjoy during their holidays. From postcards to dvds for children, from electric heaters to knitting books, from a radio to a fully equipped kitchen, from a maritime bathroom to toilet paper - we didn´t miss a thing.

“Holiday Cottage” Perfect place to stay. House is so nice, clean, fully renovated. Pat is such a great person, always gave advice where to go and what to see, such a beautiful place is Kerry. Very highly recommend to anyone. Huge thanks to Pat.

“Excellent holiday home!” Brilliant property! It was a lovely surprise to find a welcome card with contact details if needed, tea, coffee, biscuits and wine for our arrival! The house contained everything we needed from washing up liquid & washing powder to well known makes of shower gels, shampoos, conditioners etc. Was large enough for 2 families (including one person with disabilities) with 2 lounges a large kitchen and a games room, a downstairs bedroom & bathroom. The kids loved the games room and the garden and the garage was equipped with bikes, a go kart, dart board, punch bag etc. The house is bright, modern and clean. Although the house is in walking distance of the town we used hire cars to travel and visit the more well known sites & towns. The owners had also left a folder recommending places to visit, eat etc which we found really useful. Would definitely recommend! Lovely house with considerate owners! A thumbs up!

“A brilliant week in a lovely house in a beautiful location.” The views from the front of the house out over the Atlantic and the wee islands there will live in the memory. The house itself has everything you could wish for, lots of space and light, quiet corners - and all the practicalities well sorted too - good showers for instance, and an impressive cooker! Apart from the natural beauty round about (the shoreline walk from the house is magic) we found good shops, pubs and cafes all within a few minutes drive. I can't fault it and heard no complaints from any of the gang that was there for the week. Thanks very much to the owners! Cheers, Bob.

“Amazing and relaxing holiday” We spent in Doire Farm a really beautiful holiday. The house is perfect, you find all you need: the kitchen is fully equipped: the dishwasher and microwave oven are present! There are also washmachine and dryer. Anne and Patrick are absolutely kind and warm hosts. They make you feel at home. From this place you can reach easily the most beautiful places of the south west of Ireland. We hope to come back...

“Perfect holiday let” My cousin & I booked 24a for 4 nights as we were attending a family wedding in the area and we couldn't have made a better choice! The house itself is wonderful, very comfortable and homely with everything you need, including some much welcomed provisions of bread, milk, tea, coffee, cheese, ham and biscuits. The location is ideal, next to train station and 10/15 minute walk to the harbour with all its great pubs and restaurants. The host Mary is an absolute delight, very helpful and welcoming and a font of local knowledge. We could not recommend this place more highly.

“Just Perfect!” Everything about this house was just perfect: the location (in the middle of everything, but still quiet) and size (2 bedrooms, 2 baths) was just as advertised , and still very cozy. We didn't cook much, but the kitchen was nice-sized and fully equipped, and the living room was just large enough with very comfy furniture to relax in after a long day of touring. Both rooms also have great wood-burning stoves. We did not get to meet Kathleen, but Steve met us at the house (and he even saved a parking spot for us!) and gave us a great tour of he house as well as something good info on local pubs, etc. In summary, we can't recommend this property well enough!
