Very happy to recommend this cottage. It's perfect for a couple and is well-equipped and clean and modern. Situated down a little laneway behind the bigger cottage but perfectly private with its own parking. What can I say about Kinvara? The most beautiful village in Ireland! It's all happening there! And after enjoying fun nights out we were able to walk home within a couple of minutes. Owners great to deal with & very helpful. Coming back this summer!!

Had a great holiday at this cottage and we loved Kinvara. We did not hire a car, (we come from Germany) and it was great as we coud walk to everything. The lady sent us lots of information in advance. We found the door strange as we had to push up the handle to lock it - but the lady came to our rescue! They were very helpful all the time. It's in a lovley location and is really nicely designed for two people.

We come from Western Australia, and we were absolutely delighted to find this little gem of a cottage. I know Kinvara well, my Mum lived at Coole Park and as kids we holidayed on the Flaggy Shore (Burren) every Summer in the Fifties. Kathy was a great host and responded to all my questions pronto. It was a dream holiday down memory lane. Thanks for everything Kathy.

A lovely little cottage. Perfect for a couple. Very clean and well equipped. The owners looked after us very well and were very informative about the area and things to do. Kinvara and the surrounding area is very beautiful and full of history.
