Stayed Jul 19, 2025Nicely renovated, comfortable and amazing views of the burren and bay. Kids appreciated the TV room upstairs, adults appreciated the larger modern bathroom! Very clean and comfortable and owner was very responsive and helpful. Definitely recommend visiting Kinvara-wonderful little town.

Stayed Sep 12, 2024Loved this sweet, newly painted home! We enjoyed the corner kitchen table with its cushioned benches, wool blankets and lamps! It was an added touch to have fresh flowers and a personalized note of welcome! Quiet! Beautiful surroundings.

Stayed Aug 14, 2024A good location to explore the Burren, the unavoidable Cliffs of Moher and around Gallway. Our place was clean and fully functional and had plenty of space for all ourbelongings. A minor drawback: To few dishes to cater for more than a breakfast for 4 people. Of course we wouldn't do full blown cooking, but doing some noodles and a salad got us to the limit of dishes and potts.

Stayed Jun 27, 2024My step father, mother, brother, and I all stayed at the core lodge. It was a sweet and cozy place. It was super helpful to have an upstairs living room and half bath on the second floor with 4 people. We fit nicely in the home. We left on excursions round Ireland every day so it was a perfect size to come back to sleep at and relax at the end of the day. Tara was very communicative during our entire stay and left us some maps for things to do in the area. Highly recommend rentjng a car and exploring south and east of the lodge. Would definitely stay here again.
