2 Bedroom Cottage in Ballyvaughan

NOTE: We normally rent from Saturday to Saturday, so please try to honor those days if at all possible. If you MUST make an exception, please ask to see if we can work it out for you.
We feel we have one of the best views in Ireland, located right on Galway Bay on the 'Wild Atlantic Way', and in a picturesque, friendly little village only 1 hour from Shannon Airport. The cottage also has great views of the famous Burren Mountains out back. We know you would enjoy your stay here as much as we have so many times for 28 years.
The owners have lived in the cottage full time for several years and have made many improvements inside and out during this time. The cottage is completely re-wired, and new kitchen cabinets installed. We also have made an effort to present this as a typical 1950's cottage. Because of this you may find some inconveniences, however we have tried our best to make you comfortable. The cottage has a queen bed in the master BR, and two single beds in the small BR, so it comfortably sleeps 4. The living room has 2 Futon couches, which could sleep 2 more adults, but, with only one bathroom and the cottage being quite small, it is too tight for more than 4 people, unless you are VERY friendly!
Ballyvaughan village is a one mile picturesque walk along the coast, and has a variety of shops worth visiting as well as a number of fine pubs and restaurants. Centra market also has a wide range of food you can purchase if you want to cook at home, and the cottage is equipped with most every cooking utensil you might need. Traditional music can be heard at some of the pubs in town on certain nights - you'll have to inquire as to schedules, etc. Music starts around 10PM.
The Ballyvaughan area is a mecca for walking and a Burren trail map is available at Centra Market in the village centre. There is a fine beach off the road to Kinvara about 2 miles outside the village known as Bishop's Quarter. The College of the Burren (Art College), off the road to Lisdoonvarna, has a walking trail as well as a restored castle worth seeing. Rainy day activities include Ailwee Cave, not far from town, which features prehistoric bear dens in addition to impressive stalactites and stalagmites. It also has an excellent gourmet shop worth visiting, with Burren made cheese and other tasty treats.
For the golfers, Lahinch is only a half hour drive, and the Galway Bay golf course in Oranmore features a fabulous setting on the Bay and is only a 45 minute drive as well.
If you are not driving or don't want to drive, there are two efficient taxi services in town, and there are bus schedules in the cottage to Galway and other areas with return times. These leave from Centra Market in town. We are sure that you would have a great time here and enjoy the cottage and the area as much as we have!.

Summary: We loved everything about our stay in Ballyvaughan!The cottage is so cozy, perfect for us (family of four), with the most amazing views across Galway Bay. Photos just don't do it justice.The town itself is so friendly and is just the perfect base from which to explore the West Coast of Ireland. Everywhere in Clare is within easy reach, as well as further North into Galway and Connemara.Just a perfect spot. We will definitely be back!

Summary: Lovely cottage with amazing views and in a great position to explore the local area. Best day out taking the Doolin ferry to Aron Islands and Cliffs of Moher. Plan this for a calm day unless you are a good sailor! All facilities were as expected and comfortable with great selection of dishes and utensils in the kitchen. Would recommend.

Summary: A beautiful, happy cottage that has plenty of dishes, glasses, utensils, books, a large refrigerator, plenty of books, WiFi, wonderful view and a quiet place to enjoy life. The convenience of a washer and dryer was really special. Ok, the shower is a bit tight, but it IS bigger than some I have been in, in Italy..😳. Love Ballyvaughan and the cozy cottage! Hope to return. Thank you for making this available.

Summary: Our stay was wonderful. The cottage was well equipped and the location could not have been better, We did not rent a car and had no problem navigating from Dublin via Galway by train and bus. Mr. Connolly the taxi man even gave us a free ride to the bus stop as we had too much luggage to walk. The property manager and the owner made sure we were well taken care of. We highly recommend staying here!

Summary: Unfortunately, we needed roadside assistance on the way from Dublin to Ballyvaughan. Therefore, we arrived later at the cottage than expected and did not meet the manager when we arrived. We only spoke in the morning and evening on the phone. We felt a bit bad when we learned after our arrival that our sent messages with updates about our situation were not received, so calling her in case of an emergency might be better. Check-in, however, went smoothly. Mr. Considine sent a very detailed email with directions and a lot of information about the cottage and Ballyvaughan beforehand, so we were prepared well ahead. The cottage itself is small but cozy and beautifully decorated. The beds are comfortable and everything is clean. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need for a weeklong stay, and you have a washer and dryer in the shed. And the view! You have a gorgeous view of Galway Bay, and you can sit in the beautiful front yard and enjoy the ever-changing scenery. It is only a short walk into town where you find several restaurants, pubs, cafés, and a small grocery store. The location of the cottage is fantastic to do some hikes, and the drive along the coastal road is spectacular! Besides relaxing, we visited Doolin, took a ferry to the Aran Islands, walked along the Cliffs of Moher, visited Galway, Kilmore Abbey, Connemara National Park, and the Burren. We enjoyed our stay very much in this lovely place. Highly recommended!
