The village of Cross, whilst small, is a thriving, welcoming community which can be witnessed in the friendly local pub, just two minutes' walk from your Cross cottage. The nearby seaside town of Kilkee is only a short drive away from your coastal cottage in Clare, and is home to a plethora of shops, pubs and seafood restaurants, each boasting delicious treats to tempt you, and traditional Irish music can be heard nightly in many venues. Kilkee also offers a thalassotherapy centre to cater for your every whim. Kilkee's superb strand of sandy beach sits next to an indoor waterworld, providing an exciting place for children, or why not take them to enjoy dolphin watching from the nearby village of Carrigaholt? This Cross cottage rests amongst natural rugged beauty near breathtaking coastlines, and has many nearby attractions and activities to please the entire family.
The quiet village of Cross is located along the breathtaking Loop Head Peninsula, a slender finger of land that extends into the Atlantic Ocean, embracing some of Ireland's supremely stunning coastlines.

The cottage was well equipped and well situated for exploring the peninsula. Lovely garden and kitchen-sun room too.

Beautiful view from the house. The property needs a deep clean and some TLC!! Owner made very little effort in preparing the property for us and announced on our arrival that there were no TV channels other than Netflix. It was clear he had no intention of sorting that out! The toilets and shower need a deep clean as does the fridge!!! Dirty cutlery in the drawers and shelves in cupboards need to be cleaned!!Beds cheap and mattress very hard. The estate of 7 houses looks deserted - we saw only one occupied and paths and gardens very neglected. This house and garden could be fab if some effort was put in by the owners. Cross village had a lovely pub and friendly staff. Absolutely beautiful walks around the area! Overall we really enjoyed Clare but property leaves a lot to be desired. Very disappointing considering price paid!

The garden is very well kept and scenery is stunning when sitting in the kitchen/living area. Feels like a very peaceful place and perfect base to explore south Clare.
