Luxurious Retreat on the Wild Atlantic Way

My family and I recently stayed at this amazing home. We are a multi generational group, ranging in age from 5 to 75. This home was perfect for our needs, offering plenty of space to relax and recharge after our day trips out and about. The kitchen was perfect for our group, as were the bedrooms and baths. The backyard was great for my grandchildren to play in and the views of the burren were unbelievable! Our host, Rachel, was a dream to work with! She helped me arrange a marriage blessing for me and my husband at the local church. I highly recommend staying at this beautiful home along the Wild Atlantic Way!

This place was so great for our family. I would stay here again. Our 2 year old loved it! Ballyvaughan is a small little town with a lot to do for kids. It's also centrally located for a lot of activities in the area.

Vaughn Cottage is a very spacious, exceptionally clean and thoughfully layed-out home that was a teriffic accommodation for our family of 13 people ranging from 10 months to 68 years of age. The views were magnificent and we spent loads of time playing on the large grass in the back. The hosts provided us with everything we needed. e recomme

We spent a wonderful week in Vaughan cottage. We arrived and everything was exactly as described on the VRBO listing, with a handy welcome pack with loads of information on the local attractions. There's a big box full of information and ideas for all tastes. The cottage is gorgeous, well cleaned, with comfortable beds and bedding and spacious enough for an extended family of 10 with room to spare. The kitchen and lounge areas are perfect for dining, chatting and can be divided with a sliding door if the kids want to watch a movie. There's so much to do in the local area from walking and surfing to horse riding and exploring numerous historical interests. I would recommend a car for getting the most out of your stay.. Rachel, our host, was super helpful throughout providing timely information and loads of local tips.

Vaughn Cottage was a magical place for our family of 10 - three generations - to celebrate a 55th wedding anniversary. The cottage is perfectly situated, with a gorgeous view of the Burren; beautifully built, with a kitchen area that took our breaths away (not to mention the 4 amazing bath tubs!!) and the property is meticulously maintained. Hiking, kayaking, great little shops and seafood chowder to die for are just a few of the fun local attractions. Visits to Corcomroe Abby AND the Chocolate Factory were special favorites for everyone. Cannot recommend highly enough!! We even saw a rainbow over the back meadow on our last night. Amazing. . . Rachel and her helper Cora are the best hosts ever!

I truly cannot thank the host, Rachel, for all her care, time and planning with my family's trip to Ireland for the first time. The house is gorgeous, accommodating and cozy. Every detail that is advertised for this property is exactly correct even above and beyond what you would expect. We had a large group from ages 10-73 and we all loved our stay. I would like to kindly thank Rachel for everything she provided and did for us. I highly recommend this host and property.

The house was in a perfect location in order to see a large portion of Ireland. The town was just the right size to have restaurants and a grocery store but was small enough to be quiet and peaceful. Would highly recommend this house.

The Vaughan cottage was perfect for my family of 11. The kitchen was roomy and easy to cook it. The sitting room had 3 couches and 2 chairs for playing games and hanging out. There are 3 king bedrooms with bathrooms on the first floor. Upstairs is a family room for 4, a bathroom, and a bedroom with 2 twin beds. The location is great for going into Ballyvaughan to the pub, restaurants, crabbing at the pier, or shopping for groceries. Cliffs of Moher plus lots of villages, beaches, etc. are within a hour of the house. We explored everyday. The housekeeper was very helpful when we called her about the trash. We loved the friendly neighborhood cat and walking to the Newtown Castle in the mornings and evening. The trails around the house were wonderful as was the cave and birds of prey exhibit.

We had 10 family members of 3 generations and Vaughan Cottage was just perfect for all of us! The location was wonderful…beaches, caves, great restaurants, castles, nightlife and Burren hiking. Something for everyone! The home itself is spotless and very well cared for and well equipped. Great to be able to use the washer and dryer. The home was very cozy to come home to after a long day out, lovely and warm, which was very much appreciated if the day happened to be on the chilly side. Be sure to walk to Newtown Castle just a short distance from the cottage and stop in for some delicious food at the cafe there…the castle is free and our grandaughters loved it! Vaughan’s Cottage is all that is described and more! Rachel kept in touch to see if we had any questions during our stay(3 weeks) and always answered any questions I had beforehand very quickly. Vaughan Cottage will not disappoint! Great memories for all the family!

My husband and I had 3 generations of family together with our 3 adult children, son-in-law and 4 young grandchildren at the lovely Vaughan cottage! It was our first trip to Ireland that we will cherish forever! We had plenty of space for everyone in this well appointed and thoughtfully designed home. Everything was clean and there was plenty of room for our clan to enjoy the home both inside and out! Rachel was most helpful with questions as we were planning our trip and provided many ideas of things to do in the area. She was always quick to respond and and provided a lot of detailed information for us! The home is well situated just outside of the small village of Ballyvaughan and there is much to explore in the surrounding area. We were able to take day trips to Doolin, the Aran Islands, Limerick, the Cliffs of Moher and Galway. We also went on many hikes in the Burren area as well as at Fenore beach. There was so much to explore! We had a beautiful time and we hope to be able to go back again!
