We liked this apartment. It was cosy, clean and comfortable and easily big enough for the two of us. It is also close to Kinvarra village and that was nice because it meant we could walk to local pubs and restaurants, as well as to the supermarket. The one downside was that we could not use any other electricals if we were using the power shower, though once we had been made aware of this, it wasn't a problem.

About the host

Hosted by Kates Cottages

I lectured in Computer Science for a number of years, and when my 4 daughters were reared I turned my attention to hosting guests in this traditional Kinvara cottage. I enjoy gardening and designing knitwear. I am always at hand to offer advice, and help in any way I can with my guests.

Why they chose this property

I love this area of Galway/Clare border & I do have special memories here. Kinvara is a unique little village, very special to me. It is a wonderful base on the Wild Atlantic Way. Every day I enjoy the beauty of nature all around. As I write this I am listening to birdsong, and glancing over at the Burren hills. Horses pop their heads over the stone wall opposite.

What makes this property unique

Actually, I built this property, having fallen in love with the location. It is close to the world-famous Burren hills. This is a unique landscape with stunning wildlife and fauna. My property stands out as it is one of the few holiday cottages that are actually IN the village, so you can walk to everything.
