"The cottage was great and everything was as described."
The owner answered quickly when we needed further information. Everything was fine.

"We had a great week at the Dolmen Cottage!"
The cottage was clean and tity, except for the toilet. We had to clean the toilet before we could use it. Everything else was great. We especially enjoyed the sheep around the house. We woke up every morning with the sound of sheep, my favorite kind of sound. We wanted to go to Lahinch Beach, but when we spoke to our host he told us that Fenore Beach was more quiet and less touristic. So we decided to fo to Fenore Beach, and it was fantastic! Great advice! The chocolates on the table were a very nice touch, many thanks!

"This is our second time staying at Dolmen cottage."
It is in the most peaceful location and a great base for discovering the Burren. The cottage itself is very comfortable and clean with everything you need. We also didn’t see any issues with damp or mould. No Wifi (as is made clear on the site) but no issues outside of the cottage. A good opportunity to take a good book and switch off for a few days.

"We have just had an amazing week at Dolmen Cottage."
It is in a very private, peaceful location but in a perfect central position for exploring the area. It is clean and airy, with no sign of damp in the bathroom and no more flies than you'd expect to encounter in the countryside. The water problem had been solved and we also had a good mobile signal with EE in the garden. We would certainly book the cottage again.

"The place was dirty and seemed to be infested with flies."
All of the floors were dirty. There were many areas suffering from damp especially the bathroom which had disgusting blinds covered with black mould and damp. The shower was so bad my wife couldn’t use it with the mould on the tiles. This distressed my wife enormously as she has medical conditions. Because of these factors we left a night early. Lastly we didn’t appreciate the fact we were not informed the water was not drinkable, and green. In summary this house was not a clean and habitable state.

"Very well located to visit County Clare region."
All necessary accomodation are included and very good communication with the owner.

"Super Cottage in a great location for touring Co."
Clare. Really cosy, great facilities with washer, dryer & heating. Loads of towels. Great kitchen facilities with plenty of the basic food items e.g. cooking oil, salt, pepper etc... Only small criticisms are as follows; - chest of drawers in main bedroom are too difficult to open/close especially for elderly guests - More details on how to use the grill as the pictures/icons are worn off on the actual nobs from wear & tear - A more comfortable sofa would be nice to relax on in the evenings. I think sofa beds are not very comfortable as sofas in general.

"Visited with two very young children, who both loved it."
Great location, quiet and remote, but not too far from local attractions (within walking distance of two of them). Clean, well stocked, and light and airy inside. Kids loved playing in the garden. Owners are really helpful. No WiFi or mobile signal, but if you walk up the road a bit there is signal, if needed.
-
"A really comfortable and quiet cottage."
Perfect with childs. Nice walks nearby appreciated. It's the place to be to discover the Burren area. Some wifi would have been appreciated to plan our excursions, but on another hand it t was a complete turn-off to be totally disconnected. Thanks for all.
-
"Fantastic cottage in remote, but handy to facilities, location."
No WiFi so you can get away from modern life and relax. People we met were extremely friendly and food in the places we ate at were extremely good. To sum up we would go back and there are few places you can say that of.

"This is a lovely cottage."
It has been totally refurbished internally but externally it retains the typical rural cottage look. There is a large garden area which our dog loved: unfortunately, as we were there in mid December and during storm Barra, it was too cold, wet and windy for the humans to enjoy being outside. Situated in the heart of the Burren, it is a perfect base for exploring the fascinating history and landscape. Travel times to Galway and Limerick are not too long and the coast is easily reached - Lahinch is less than 30 minutes travel. I recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful and rural stay without sacrificing good household amenities.

"The kitchen wasn't clean, used towels were still in the sink when I arrived."
Some spoons and knives were dirty. The dishwasher did not work.
-
"A very comfortable well equipped home."
Our family had everything we needed. It was great that we could bring our dogs too. Plenty of space for our family of 2 adults, 10 year old and 2 teens. Would highly recommend. Thank you.
-
"Dolmen cottage was a fantastic place to relax and to explore the Burren."
Family of 5 with kids 14, 12 and 7 had an amazing week at the cottage. Caherconnell fort across the road is great especially the sheep dog demo, and the magical Poulnabrone Dolmen a short still up the road which is an amazing place to watch the sun set. Clean tidy cottage with plenty of space, quiet and very private. Will visit again.
-

"Dolmen cottage is just lovely!"
We really enjoyed our holiday- if you are looking to switch off and enjoy some quality family time - this is perfect! Only wish we had booked to stay longer!

"Lovely cottage in great location for the Burren."
-
"The owners are superb and looked after our every need."
They made this holiday very special for us and we will be booking again. The cottage is in a great place for exploring the area and is just perfect if you are looking for a private, secluded location. Outstanding service, property and location. It felt like our own home for 8 days. Thanks for some very happy memories!
-
"Absolutely gorgeous cottage and great booking facilities, would definitely use again as someone who was a bit nervous of booking a last minute holiday this made the whole experience very relaxing and did not disappoint."
-
"Lovely cottage with everything we needed in good order."
However they do need to think of having wi-fi available if possible - especially when mobile signal is intermittent.
-
"The house is well equipment, has a great layout and was lovely and warm"
-
"Dolmen cottage is in a very idyllic location."
.suitable for families or couples..very well equipped and spacious...centrally located to various historical sites within the Burren.
-
"We particularly appreciate the fact that the owner of the cottage visited us on second or third."
Then when there was a minor problem with the water,he imediately. came out again and resolved the problem.
-
"Fab cottage in splendid isolation."
-
