Beautiful little cottage made our holiday

We had a fantastic holiday at Sea View Cottage, we didn't want to leave! ! The house was spotless and has everything you would need, and more. The shower water pressure is great (which I always feel is important!). There is plenty room in the house / bedrooms. It has great character with a beautiful stone fireplace in the centre of the living area. The surrounding views are idyllic, particularly out to the sea, it's lovely to sit outside in the garden and just take it all in. It's setting is one of peace and relaxation. It's just a short drive to the beaches in Carrigaholt and Kilkee, with lots of nice drives and other towns not too far away. This house is a great base for exploring Clare, we'll definitely be back!

I loved the house and the location.. It is wild and windswept, just how I like it. As a regular visitor to this area of West Clare I felt the house was in the perfection location. It is ten minutes away from the hustle and bustle of Kilkee and at the same time gives you plenty of solitude and space to get lost in nature and the wonderful scenery of the Loop Head peninsula. However, despite some of the lovely little welcoming touches on our arrival, overall I was left feeling very disappointed. Personally, I am glad to get away from civilization and leave technology behind when visiting West Clare. But as a parent to young children who need to be constantly entertained and distracted they were very disappointed that there was no DVD player in the house to watch movies at night or during the daytime when it got too squally outside to do much else. TV is the last thing on my own mind when I get to the seaside but my only issue here is that on the page for Sea View Cottage it claims to have a DVD player in the house, but this proved not to be the case. Secondly, the lighting for the living area and kitchen tripped the fuse-box whenever turned on. This was hugely frustrating as only two of the dozen or so ceiling bulbs actually worked to begin with. Lighting is pretty basic and the lack of it was an issue for me and my kids during our stay. It just added to my frustration. The fact that the washing machine was temperamental and was difficult to get working also had me heading for an Atlantic dip to cool my flaring temper. If more effort was taken with the basics this would be a real dreamy spot for a holiday. Sadly I arrived home a day early feeling slightly cheated.

I had a lovey time in Seaview Cottage.. There was a cosy fire on the stove to welcome me and Mary and Éamon went out of their way to ensure my stay was a pleasant one. The cottage was very comfortable and the scenery breathtaking. I would highly recommend Seaview cottage as an ideal base from which to explore the stunning Loop Head Peninsula. The sights are breathtaking and there are some top class restaurants and amenities nearby. Be sure to vist the award winning Long Dock restaurant in Carrigaholt and the spectacular brides of Ross and Loop Head Lighthouse. It was a wonderful holiday and ill definately be back.

Excellently located house, for enjoying the wonderful area, of County Clare.. Far enough away, to ensure quietness, but close enough to avail of all the activities of County Clare and the surrounding counties.

The location of the house was very good.. It was a short walk down to the cliffs and a 10 minute drive into the bustling town of Kilkee where there was a nice beach and plenty of restaurants and bars. The house itself was very basic and we felt needed a good clean and a bit of TLC. It was however a reasonable price and therefore still good value for money.

Dear Sykes.. My sister, myself and my dog had a lovely holiday in Carrigaholt. However, we didn't actually stay in Sea View Cottage for the following reason. When we arrived (late afternoon on 16th) we discovered that there was no water in the cottage. I contacted the cottage owner Mary (who was on holiday herself) to ask if there was a water valve to turn the water on. Mary was shocked to hear that there was no water in the cottage and immediately phoned round her friends and neighbours to arrange for a plumber and a neighbour to call with us. Mary phoned me back and very kindly offered me the use of another property. Mary's neighbour told me that the Council had been working on the water pipes in the area and had damaged a water pipe - which is why there was no water in the area! It was not a problem specific to Sea View Cottage. Anyway, my group were extremely happy with the alternative cottage - it was clean, spacious, warm and comfortable and had all the equipment that we required for our stay. It was very conveniently located for our daily sightseeing around Co. Clare and was within a short walking distance of Carrigaholt and the stony/sandy beach. Mary contacted me later to find out if we were happy to stay there and of course we were. We were so pleased and delighted with our accommodation. Mary was extremely helpful, considerate and thoughtful and despite being 'out of the country' and on holiday herself, she got us sorted out very quickly from when I first contacted her. Excellent!

2 km from lovely, but quiet small town with good restaurant.. Great fish shop by harbour.- fab cab claws and scallops. Ideal for the fantastic Loop Head peninsular, Kilkee and Kilrush. Comfortable cosy cottage. Tea, coffee, milk and bread left for us, and lovely vase of garden flowers. We really enjoyed our stay. Nice work has been done to modernise rooms. Pity about shabby dining chairs and some unclean kitchen equipment. Forget upstairs TV. Areas could have been cleaner, including some towels and pillows. But all in all it is very good value and we would go back. With a bit more TLC a fantastic place.

This is a lovely cottage in a beautiful part of the country, suitable for anyone for any purpose. It is great for either just relaxing or as a base for travelling further afield exploring. Everything in the cottage was just right and everything worked perfectly. We would have no hesitation in highly recommending this lovely cottage.
