"First class allround."
If I were to quibble it would be to say the heating system, whilst very effective has a smell in the kitchen. Other than that facilities, location & useful information excellent. Would definitely think about rebooking.

"Lovely cottage, comfortable beds, good shower and enjoyed the local cows and birds."
Great walks straight from the cottage, but it was a shame about the unseasonal weather. The only problem was the local pub, which was one of the reasons for our booking, has closed.

"We just love it!"
!! It is ideally located in the heart of the Burren, allowing easy access on foot, on bike, by car to everything we wanted. The cottage is well appointed, allowing cooking, eating and sleeping just like home. Supermarket is relatively close in Ennistymon or village shops in Kilfenora/ Ballyvaughan/Lisdoonvarna/Corofin. Fanore beach is unbelievable and trips to Miltown Malbay give access to Spanish Point and White Strand beaches - all Blue-flagged and lifeguarded. Lahinch is good too, although busy. Don't come in the summer as the Burren is just too beautiful for words, even when it rains!!! You won't want to go home!!!

Loved every minute.

"A well appointed cottage in a lovely area of the Burren."
House martins nesting under the eaves and a visit from Fox cubs in the garden. Excellent walking in the area as the Burren is like one huge rock garden. Loads of maps and suggested walks provided, so spoilt for choice.
-
"A very cosy cottage in a quiet area."
Ideal location for visiting The Burren. Very high standard of cleanliness & maintenance. Owner very friendly and helpful. One minor disappointment: the pub mentioned in the listing has since closed down. Overall a most enjoyable stay. .
-
"Very well equipped cottage."
Comfortable, spacious and in a great location in the heart of the Burren.
-
"Spotlessly clean and best equipped property we've ever spent time in (four slot toaster, yes!"
). We lucked out and had glorious weather, beautiful hikes, a wonderful experience all around.
-
"This was a brilliant cottage, everything you need but especially Wi-Fi which can be hard to get in rural Ireland."
A very cosy tv room and the heating works very well in the whole house. Owner always on hand if you need her and genuinely welcoming you to Carran. 20 mins from Kilfenora, Corrofin and Lisdoonvarna and Lahinch Doolin and cliffs of Moher a little further. Brilliant stay here in Carran and would definitely come back. Top marks Theresa

"The property was clean, cosy, comfortable and well equipped."
It’s in a fantastic location for local walks and walks further afield. Plenty to do and see in this special part of the country. Would definitely recommend and hope to return.
-
"A wonderful relaxing place to stay."
...cant recomend it enough. The house is very well equipped but still retains it's authenticity and character. Beautiful walks all around - a place to choose if you wish to unwind and recharge. We really loved our stay here and having stayed in many holiday rentals across Ireland , this cottage stands out as the house and setting we relaxed most in.
-
"A comfortable, spacious, well-equipped cottage and spotlessly clean."
It is well situated in the centre of the Burren with a couple of lovely walks from the cottage and many interesting places to visit in the area. We enjoyed a stroll to the Burren Perfumery which has an excellent cafe
-
"A cozy, clean, and tidy cottage."
Quiet location. Central for exploring 'The Burren'. Everything you would normally need and it all worked. Weather wasn't great, but not a lot anyone can do about that.
-
"Excellent situation in the Burren, lovely cottage, very clean and well maintained."
I would recommend this as a place to stay. We had lovely weather and really enjoyed our stay at Limestone Cottage.

"It is a lovely cottage, much larger than the picture suggests, a beautiful ..."
It is a lovely cottage, much larger than the picture suggests, a beautiful location and everything as listed in the brochure - but the brochure did not mention the absence of Wi Fi or mobile phone signal
-
"Limestone Cottage is one of the best equipped and most comfortable, peaceful holiday homes we have stayed in."
Theresa kept in touch with us while we were there. It's a perfect location for touring Clare and lots of information is provided. We really enjoyed our stay. Thanks.
-
"This is a lovely well equipped comfortable cottage set in a quiet village."
Cottage is larger than it appears in pictures. We had a lovely week there. For us it was an ideal place for touring the Burren area. Pub which serves very good food few minutes walk away. Be aware that the nearest shop is a few miles away. As there is a good sized fridge and chest freezer in property we stocked up on first day so it wasn't a problem to us.
-
"This cottage is a must,definitely worth a visit with family or friends, the cottage has everything you could need,it's so comfortable and spotless clean,Theresa the lady we were speaking with is such a lovely lady and so helpful."
Can't wait to come back again.

"Sometimes you see some lovely pictures of holiday cottages and think; ‘it’s too good to be true’."
The pictures and reality in this case matched up to exactly what it promised. Beautiful. Attention to detail was amazing. Dainty. Amazing location close to everything you’d like to visit. And then Theresa and her sister Christina were just lovely and so accommodating. Don’t hesitate to book if you’re lucky enough to get a vacancy
-
"Lovely Cottage and lovely host."
It has everything you need and is furnished with attention to details. It feels more like a home than a holiday house. I would highly recommend it!
-
"Loved this Cottage."
It had everything we needed. We were out all day, was lovely to come back to in the evening. Clean, comfortable beds, loved the pink towels, have bought pink towels when I arrived home. Loved Mr and Mrs Fox
-
"This is a lovely cottage, lovingly maintained by a very welcoming host, in a fine location at the heart of the burren."
The weather took a bit of a turn during our stay as an Atlantic storm hit the area, with howling winds and torrential rain - this is the west of Ireland after all!.Although this brought a damp chill to the air, the open fire soon made the place cosy again. This cottage was all we hoped for, we really enjoyed our stay.
-
"A lovely cottage with all the amenities you need in full working order."
Sited in the middle of Burren upland close to the major holiday destinations. Recommend walking around the village on way marked paths, visiting Birds of Prey Centre at Allwee cave, boat trip around Cliffs of Moher if you want to see where they filmed the Cave chapter in Harry Potter film. Highlight of the week boat trip on Dolphin watch plus much more from Carriagaholt on loop head. Not so enjoyable Cliffs of Moher from the top as so overcrowded or the local pub Cassidy's. Would recoment this holiday.
-
"A very good place to visite the area: poulnarbone dolmen, cliffs of moher, galway, the burren national park, the burren parfumery (2 km)."
..
-
"A lovely, cosy , traditional cottage in the heart of the Burren."

"This is our second visit and will not be the last."
Everything perfect, even the absence of wifi, which allows more time to relax, read and enjoy the unique countryside.
-
"A really fun holiday experience!"
Great cottage with lovely space to relax and enjoy the break away. Really clean and tidy and the owner was very helpful! It is easy to drive to the Cliffs of Moher or Galway and plenty to see. Highly recommend for couples or families!
-
"The lovely Limestone cottage was a really good place to stay in, REALLY clean and everything you could need when on holiday."
The owner Theresa was most welcoming and genuinely friendly. We really enjoyed our stay there.
-
"The location was amazing and we were so lucky with the weather - 2 hot weeks with no rain."
the area was quiet with a pub just up the road - perfect! The cottage was central to all the places we wanted to visit.
-
"This cottage was worth every penny, quaint and old fashioned but completely in keeping with the 'Irish Experience'"
-
"A wonderfully comfortable cottage for country lovers and close to so many interesting places and walks ."
.. I've already booked it again!

"Das Haus hat wirklich eine tolle Lage, zwar direkt an der Strasse, Verkehr ist eh nicht so viel, dafür aber mittendrin im Burren."
Die Einkaufsmöglichkeiten sind etwas weiter weg, es gibt einen Pub 200m vom Haus entfernt in dem man auch gut essen kann. Wir haben die Schönheit der Landschaft und die Stille mit Vogelgezwitscher und Muhen der Kühe sehr genossen. Vom Haus aus sind es maximal 30-40 Minuten Autofahrt zu allen Ecken im Burren ( Wanderwege, Archeologische Stätten, Atlantikküste etc) Eine Vielfalt an Wandervorschlägen sind im Haus ausgelegt. Alles in Allem können wir dieses Cottage nur empfehlen, es verschafft einem Muße zur Ruhe und Gelassenheit. P.S. Neben einem offenem Kamin gibt es auch einen super Holz/Kohleofen Elke und Thomas Frankfurt und Düsseldorf

About the location
CARRON, COUNTY CLARE
Lisdoonvarna 13 miles; Ennis 17 miles.
The village of Carron is the only village in the Burren uplands. The name Carron is thought to derive from the Gaelic word Cairn which means 'a mound of stones'. These cairns or stones can be found on each of the mountains in the Burren. In the village there’s a pub, along with wonderful views over the Burren, and in the area there’s three recognised walking routes. Within reach is the spa town of Lisdoonvarna, which is home to the Spa Wells Health Centre, pubs offering traditional Irish music, shops and restaurants. The town of Ennis is also within driving distance with its narrow streets, market square, shops and restaurants. Other attractions of note are the superb Cliffs of Moher and the Burren National Park. Carron is an ideal base for exploring this part of County Clare. Both the nearest beach and Wild Atlantic way are 7 miles away. Further afield it is possible to reach Galway (28 miles) or Dublin (162 miles) and it is only 30 miles to Shannon Airport.
