"We had a great stay here, very comfortable with outstanding views."
The cottage was well equipped and well situated for exploring the peninsula. Lovely garden and kitchen-sun room too.
-
"Location very good for seeing Clare."
Beautiful view from the house. The property needs a deep clean and some TLC!! Owner made very little effort in preparing the property for us and announced on our arrival that there were no TV channels other than Netflix. It was clear he had no intention of sorting that out! The toilets and shower need a deep clean as does the fridge!!! Dirty cutlery in the drawers and shelves in cupboards need to be cleaned!!Beds cheap and mattress very hard. The estate of 7 houses looks deserted - we saw only one occupied and paths and gardens very neglected. This house and garden could be fab if some effort was put in by the owners. Cross village had a lovely pub and friendly staff. Absolutely beautiful walks around the area! Overall we really enjoyed Clare but property leaves a lot to be desired. Very disappointing considering price paid!

"Lovely holiday cottage, with all the comforts needed for a home from home."
The garden is very well kept and scenery is stunning when sitting in the kitchen/living area. Feels like a very peaceful place and perfect base to explore south Clare.
-
"Excellent property exactly as described in the brochure."
Had a very enjoyable week. Weather helped! Don’t know what it would be like in stormy weather!
-
"The house owners were a pleasure to deal with."
Everything was made easy. The house exceeded expectations. It was also well located and, therefore, a perfect base from which to explore Co. Clare.
-
"Great location with a beautiful patio and garden looking out over tbe Shannon estuary."
Perfect for exploring the sights of Co Clare and to relax in the evening on the patio.
-
"Brilliant house absolutely spotless and very spacious."
Big back garden. Couldn't have wished for a better place. The house was recommended by a friend who was there last year and it definitely exactly as she said it would be. Lovely little village will definitely come back. Ray was so nice and a pleasure to deal with.

"The cottage was spotlessly clean, very well equipped and very comfortable."
The location is beautiful and we loved the views over the estuary from the kitchen and patio. The owners were friendly and met us on arrival to explain how things worked and to give us advice about where to go in the area.The beach was further away than we expected - my husband jogged there and it took him 20 minutes. But it was very easy to drive to Kilkee beach which was gorgeous. Although the village of Cross itself is small, it is easy to get from there to all parts of the Loop Head peninsula and we really enjoyed being a bit off the main tourist track.It is such a beautiful part of the country - we will definitely be back and my children have already asked to visit the same cottage again as they made friends with the neighbour's children and dog. They also loved picking and eating vegetables from the plot in the garden. Many thanks for a wonderful holiday.

This homely Cross cottage has three comfortable bedrooms, two of which boast en-suite shower rooms, with the third directly adjacent to the family bathroom.
The kitchen with breakfast bar and dining area is bright and airy, catching the sun all day long, whilst the sumptuous sitting room with open fire provides a cosy space to kick back and relax at the end of your day.
Through the French doors in the dining area at this Cross cottage is a well-maintained lawned garden with furniture; here you can enjoy some alfresco dining with the backdrop of delightful unspoilt sea views.
The village of Cross, whilst small, is a thriving, welcoming community which can be witnessed in the friendly local pub, just two minutes' walk from your Cross cottage.
The nearby seaside town of Kilkee is only a short drive away from your coastal cottage in Clare, and is home to a plethora of shops, pubs and seafood restaurants, each boasting delicious treats to tempt you, and traditional Irish music can be heard nightly in many venues.
Kilkee also offers a thalassotherapy centre to cater for your every whim.
Kilkee's superb strand of sandy beach sits next to an indoor waterworld, providing an exciting place for children, or why not take them to enjoy dolphin watching from the nearby village of Carrigaholt?

About the location
CROSS, COUNTY CLARE
Carrigaholt 2.8 miles; Kilkee 8.7 miles.
The quiet village of Cross is located along the breathtaking Loop Head Peninsula, a slender finger of land that extends into the Atlantic Ocean, embracing some of Ireland’s supremely stunning coastlines, and awarded by The Irish Times as the Best Holiday Destination in Ireland, 2013. The village has a pub and a shop, and is mainly recognised as one of only three communities on this stunning headland. Rinevilla Beach is just a stone's throw away, whilst Kilkee Beach and Haugh’s Beach, a hidden gem, are both superb, friendly-family destinations for those who fancy sunbathing, swimming or quiet walks by the shore. The neighbouring villages of Kilbaha and Carrigaholt are home to friendly pubs that serve delicious food, along with the award-winning restaurants, and you will also find the Loop Head Lighthouse, a popular attraction in West Clare, which has been inspiring tourists for many years. The area is famed for its rugged seascapes, excellent seafood and raw natural beauty, and provides a perfect location for discovering Clare’s enchanting coast.
