Guests say

Seaview Cottage in Ballyvaughan offers stunning views and a prime location for exploring the Burren and local towns. Guests appreciate the property's warmth, cosiness, and internet connectivity. While some guests have had issues with cleanliness and maintenance, others have had comfortable stays and commend the helpfulness of the housekeeper, Josie.

Several reviews mention a lack of cleanliness, including mould, dust, and unclean kitchen appliances. However, some guests found the property clean, leading to a below-average score.

The location is highly praised for its beautiful views, proximity to the beach, and being a good base for sightseeing. Despite some confusion about its exact location, the scenic and peaceful setting is well-regarded.

Guests find the cottage warm and cosy, with a homely feel. Some issues with non-functioning radiators and firm mattresses are noted, but overall, the comfort level is satisfactory.

Facilities are a mixed bag, with some guests satisfied with the amenities, while others report non-working lights, appliances, and a need for maintenance. Internet connectivity is a plus, but the overall state of facilities requires attention.

There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the host. Therefore, this category cannot be scored.

    Have been returning to this property for many years now and just love Clare in the Autumn. The views from "seaview" are stunning and the house feels so "homely". Will be back again.

    La maison, au bout d'un chemin, est toujours très bien située et environnée : des lapins, des vaches, un renard et l'océan avec la baie de Galway. L'intérieur confortable aurait besoin de quelques améliorations ( robinetterie de la cuisine en particulier). Merci à Josie qui a pu remplacer le lecteur de DVD que nous avons trouvé cassé à notre arrivée.

    I chose the cottage as it was pet friendly and my 2 great Danes had the BEST holiday...loved seeing the cows, lamas, sheep and hundreds of bunnies in the fields. There were some issues with the cottage but Josie responded immediately. If you like a firm mattress, then you'll be grand. The bathroom needs some attention and the cottage needs some tlc but despite this, I plan to return. Great value and certainly livable.
