Stunning Beachfront Cottage Ballybunion

10/10 Excellent
"Our stay at Dolphin Cottage was absolute heaven! Dermot was an amazing host! He was there to greet us and even had a lovely apple pie waiting for us to enjoy that evening. The property is 100% as described and the pictures do not do it justice! Every amenity was thought of and the views are just stunning from every room. I rented this location for my mother’s 75th birthday present… and with it being our first trip to the motherland we were unsure of so much. Dermot had recommendations, suggestions and was eager to assist with anything we needed. I cannot recommend this beautiful property enough! We hope to return soon with the rest of the family! Thank you Dermot and Nikki for sharing your beautiful home with us and helping make this such a memorable trip for my mom and I ."

The boathouse: modern house by the sea

10/10 Excellent
"Our family of 8 just returned from a wonderful trip to Ireland, and our stay at the boat house was one of the best things about it! The house was perfect for our family- everyone had their own private bed and bath, very comfy, with wonderful views from every room. Our favorite things to do were watching the horses, especially the cute little foal being quite naughty to his patient mother, and watching the boats go by on the other side and the tide coming in and going out. Also we loved walking up the lane, all the beautiful wildflowers, not to mention the beautiful flowers at the house. This house is truly a gem, we all wanted to stay longer. Michelle is a wonderful host, so welcoming and had delicious scones and bread waiting fot us. We would stay again for sure!"

Bay View Hotel

Bay View Hotel

8/10 Good
"I'm a regular visitor to the Bay View; at least once a year to pop over to see relatives. I invariably end up in the same room; it's fine. The staff are all really friendly and the breakfast is great. The only quirk with the hotel is its policy of locking the front door at 2300 so, if you come back later, you have to bang on the door to be let in. Seems a bit odd this day and age that there's no external key provided. You generally don't have to wait outside for long but I wonder what's the reasoning behind this quirk? I don't recall any other hotel that operates this system."
