Oranuisce Thatch Cottage Ballyvaughan

Loved the authentic and cosy cottage right by The Burren National Park—such a fantastic spot, and only about 30 minutes from the Cliffs of Moher, making day trips really easy. The setting is peaceful, and the nearby ocean besch and village are both beautiful and charming. The host was genuinely nice and welcoming, which made the stay even more enjoyable. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a real Irish cottage experience in a stunning location.

The cottage felt too small for a family of four with grown boys, and only having two double beds made sleeping arrangements cramped. There was hardly any space for clothes, which made it difficult to settle in comfortably. Kitchen facilities are lacking—there is no dishwasher, not enough plates, cutlery, or even a proper dish rack, so cooking and eating in is not recommendable. Although a washing machine exists, it is not permitted to use, which was disappointing for a longer stay. Overall, the property is charming but not very practical for families needing space and basic amenities.

Splendida casa tenuta perfettamente ed arredata con estremo gusto. I letti davvero comodi. Il bagno un pò piccolo e con l'accesso dalla cucina (poca privacy data anche dalla porta senza serratura). Nota di merito al proprietario: si è rotto lo scarico del water ed ha mandato in giornata un idraulico a ripararlo nonostante fosse domenica.

Il check in ed il check out andrebbero rivisti. All'andata non abbiamo trovato nessuno: abbiamo telefonato più volte ma nessuno rispondeva. Ho anche chiamato il servizio clienti di Booking.com (e qui voi di Booking.com dovreste essere bacchettati a dovere per la poca cura che avete dimostrato nei confronti di noi clienti: mi avete tenuto in attesa per oltre 20 minuti senza poter parlare con nessuno, con un disco che prima diceva che non poteva rispondere nessun operatore in lingua italiana e poi neanche in lingua inglese: non è corretto né professionale questo atteggiamento e mi aspetto da voi delle scuse per il disagio subito ). Nel frattempo, fortunatamente, il proprietario ha mandato un messaggio spiegandoci dove poter trovare le chiavi. Al check out, invece, ci ha scritto 2 volte dicendo che la donna delle pulizie non trovava prima gli asciugamani e poi 4 scodelle quando in realtà c'erano. Forse dovrebbe gestire meglio i 2 check.

Cute little house which is good for a short stay with family.

The bathroom and the kitchen are both cramped. TV reception poor, we relied on streaming from our phone.

The property was lovely and as advertised.

It would be helpful to have gates on the garden to ensure that dogs don't access the road.

Really quaint thatched former fisherman's cottage.

The bathroom wc was very poor at flushing. Kitchen was 'tight' and pots, crockery etc came from a jumble sale. There was a definite lack of room to hang clothes no drawers or robes. Dangerous bend to back car in/ out of. needed Lookout to give the all vlear...a mirror opposite the drive would help. By spending a few Euro this place could be vastly improved...like replace the wooden rail the shower curtain jams on...replace "split" bathroom door. Remove duct tape from floor edge. Cut thorny rose bush by paring space...rips knitwear.

We were there for a weeknd Bank Holiday, place is great if somone would like spent time on country side. House is very clean and instruction to get to the house was giving very clear. I realy recomended this place if you would like take rest from city

Comfy beds, neat bedrooms, central location for where we wanted to go, nice theme within the cottage, lovely views😊

First impressions of property-gardens were disappointing(grass not cut, weeds as tall as the outdoor tables, furniture broken-very different from advertised images) Had been looking forward to being able to relax outdoors and enjoy the views but the space was quite unpleasant. Toilet didn’t flush properly. Mouldy full baby bottle left under sofa, giving the impression that a thorough clean wasn’t done prior to our arrival. Mouldy door frame. For the price some basic common courtesies such as some milk for a cup of tea on arrival and enough tea or coffee for our entire stay. Clothes hangers and somewhere to hang even just a couple of items of clothing would have been handy and even an extra roll of toilet paper would be nice. I appreciate that the property is an old, thatched cottage and to be honest that was its appeal, I had been happy to pay a premium price but expected my return to be a comfortable and clean living space. The photos and information on the website are misleading and some information just wrong.
