Guests that stayed at this property said
Guests consistently describe the cottage as 'perfectly clean', 'fabulously clean', and 'very clean', indicating a high standard of cleanliness throughout the property.
The cottage is appreciated for its quiet area and good location for exploring the surrounding region, though a car is deemed necessary for travel. Its central position allows for easy access to Clare/Limerick attractions.
Reviewers find the cottage to be warm, cosy, and comfortable, with a 'home from home feel'. The provision of a comfortable bed and spacious living areas contribute to the high comfort level.
The property is well-equipped, with a particularly well-appointed kitchen. However, the absence of a TV or microwave and the mention of garden maintenance suggest room for improvement in facilities and maintenance.
The owners are commended for their thoughtfulness, providing extras like dog bowls and children's toys. While gifts are mentioned, it is important to note that such personal touches, although delightful, are not guaranteed.

We loved its location from which you can explore in all four directions (something you canât do when you rent at the coast); we loved the cottage which is beautifully presented (dining table set, including wine glasses and candles, as you walk in - nice touch!), extremely well equipped, very clean, warm and comfortable; we loved that we could bring our dog (there was even dog bowls and bedding provided) and we loved that communication with the owner was easy and uncomplicated. One of the best places we have stayed in!

Very well appointed and clean. Seemed strange not to have a TV or microwave given all the other amenities were so good (including the WiFi), but could not fault the provision from hot water to condiments, towels and even bin bags! Agree with some other comments about the key lock - took 10 mins to figure out how to re-lock it when we were leaving! :) Nevertheless thanks for a lovely stay, the cottage was great and the location was perfect!

We could not fault anything. Spacious, clean, private, its exceptional. We would love to come back and stay in the cottage again if ever we got the chance. There is no television or radio, but there is Wi-Fi which has a good signal so you could watch something on a tablet or laptop if you had one with you. There is also a bluetooth speaker which we used to listen to our music. There are books and games too if you want to make use. We truly enjoyed our stay at Kyleatunna Cottage.
