"Excellent holiday cottage in a superb remote location."
Seriously well equipped (could do with an oven-proof casserole though) and nicely decorated. Highly recommended for those who like holidays in a wild, remote spot with a cosy retreat to return to at the end of a bracing day-alternately just stay indoors in this brilliant cottage and admire the scenery through the kitchen window!

"Description doesn't mention there is a hair dryer."
Dust, perhaps from the wood stove.

"Spacious and comfortable, lovely setting, we were so fortunate with the weather, sat in the garden every evening, warm and a little tanned."
Quiet and peaceful with only bird song and the occasional walker, horse rider passing.
-
"Beautiful cottage in a lovely remote area, it was exactly as described in the listing."
The finish and furnishings were all of a very good quality, and the beds very comfortable. We enjoyed watching the local wildlife while we were staying there! I would certainly recommend The Farmhouse to anyone who wants a peaceful and relaxing stay off the beaten track!

"Had a lovely week at this property."
So quiet and peaceful. This is our third visit and I’m sure it won’t be the last. We had everything we needed and we loved the cosy evenings by the log burner. A great place for walking and beautiful scenery and conveniently situated for Doolin, Lisdoonvarna, the Cliffs of Moher and many other places and attractions.

Was looking for a "quiet and peaceful" cottage and this was exactly what we got, right on the edge of the burren, owner had the fire lighting for us when we arrived, could not fault this beautiful

"We loved our stay in the Farmhouse."
Gorgeous propety with everything you'd need, set in the tranquil County Clare hills. Loads of space, fab rooms and the property was absolutely spotless. Thanks for the adventure, we'll be back. :)

"The house was really comfortable and well maintained and was everything it was advertised as."
The only slight negative was really poor WiFi which was tricky with it being so rural and no landline / mobile network so it felt quite isolating and made planning / booking things / searching stuff difficult. Other than that we had a great holiday.

"Fantastic property, had everything that we needed and more."

"We had a very nice stay in the house."
The surroundings round the house in the Burren were amazing. Also the pick-up of the key was arranged perfectly in Lisdonvaarna. we could follow a car through the small roads to the house. The interieur of the house was very good furnished. We like to rent the house another time again.

"I would highly recommend ; Hogans Irish Cottages as a number 1 staycation A refreshing break, I'll be booking in the future of 2022, for sure."
Well done Hogans, top quality well presented property in pristine condition, beautiful scenery.

"Key collection - Expected to be met at the property but had to arrange a detour to meet the property owner at his place of work some 30 miles from the property to be given a postcode."
Was promised a call to see how we were settled and to be given instructions regarding the central heating controls but we never received that call so couldn’t control central heating. Cleanliness - overall clean but there was broken glass under the dining table so spent 30 minutes sweeping the floor to avoid our 1 year old stepping on any broken glass. Property is lovely in a lovely location but had this been a hotel I would have complained about the broken glass and lack of interest in us once we were in the property.

"Lovely holiday cottage with excellent modern facilities in beautiful location."

"An excellent stay that didn't disappoint."
We were fortunate in that ours was the final week long booking before the pandemic lockdown and indeed, Ireland was locking down all around us during our stay. But this cottage is situated in a rural, isolated spot on the west coast of Clare and was ideal for the circumstances. The cottage is modern but with comfy and cosy touches that made it feel very homely. A few small points for the owner to consider for improvement. The mugs were stained and some were chipped - a new set needed. Also, a 'Welcome Pack' with information on arrival would be beneficial to explain for example the garbage disposal/recycling set-up as we wanted to do our bit but were slightly confused as to what went where and when it all went. Also to explain little things like the control for the skylight in the main en-suite double. I slept the first night with it open and the early morning light woke me earlier than necessary. I texted the owner who swiftly responded to say that the control panel was on the door frame - as it was white on white, it wasn't easy to see. I appreciated the owner being so responsive but felt guilty for having to disturb him in the first place. An information pack on arrival would answer these little questions. But in all, excellent and highly recommended. If we were to ever visit beautiful County Clare again, I would definitely consider a return to the Farmhouse.

"This cottage was absolutely out of this world set in perfect location."
Showers are of the highest quality beautiful views throughout. Owner was very nice and accommodating as we had to cut our trip short due to some unforseen circumstances, he had offered to arrange 3 nights later in the year for us to take as we had to leave 3 nights early, true gentleman
-
"The cottage was amazing, it was clean and tidy."
It was so homely we have got to our own home and it doesn't feel like home anymore and we are missing how open the cottage is! The fire is perfect for a cold evening and the bedrooms and bathrooms are so prefect. We will be staying back here again. A few little broken bits in the house but couldn't fault as been so busy I cant imagine when they would have had time to fix them!
-
"It is such a beautiful cottage and place to be."
The house is really modern and has everything you need. We had no problems with the communication to the lessor. And i also have to say, that the cottage has a perfect location. Near to Doolin and Lisdoonvarna, but nevertheless absolutely quiet and privacy. Perfect! All people were so friendly, doesn't matter where we were. You don't have to speak perfect English to understand. When they noticed that you are not from there, they spoke slower. My family and I are avid of all these beautiful impressions. The house, surrounded by beautiful nature, the beautiful and small villages, all the kind and friendly people, everything were quiet beautiful. We hope we will come back as soon as possible.

"We were only there for 3 nights, going to the Irish Open at Lahinch."
So the location was perfect. Directions to the property could be a little better, as in the middle of nowhere, but we found it eventually. The property was perfect for us and the amenities top class. Cannot Really suggest any improvement

"Fabulous cottage in rural peaceful location very clean and spacious cottage had a great week travelling around weather was ok ish but didn't spoil our time wòuld return to this fab cottage and highly recommend thanks to Clement and John who made sure we had everything thank you."
-
"An excellent stay."
A welcome pack with information about the cottage facilities (eg remote control of the bedroom roof-light), local facilities, bin collection day and where to leave the key on departure would have been appreciated. A visitors’ book would also be useful as recommendations/experiences can then be shared. Having said that we would recommend all of the local restaurants, pubs and cafes we visited! Top of the list, however, was the Doolin Inn for breakfast served between 8.00 and 10.00pm, and the Ivy Cottage for evening meals. The town of Ennistymon is well worth a visit and the Little Fox cafe offers tasty and very different lunch options. All the pubs in Doolin are good but the best draught (local) beer we found was in Fitz’s Bar Doolin and The Roadside Tavern in Lisdoonvarna. The Doolin Inn also sells bottles from Western Herd which is excellent! A ferry trip to the Aran Islands/Cliffs of Moher is definitely a must. We booked on-line a couple of days before we went with Doolin2Aran Ferries once we knew the weather forecast was likely to be favourable. This company is highly recommended.

"The house was gorgeous and we really enjoyed our stay."
Lovely location in the heart of the Burren.
-
"The Farmhouse was decorated to a very high standard."
The bedrooms & bathrooms were a very generous size & 5star rating. The showers & bath were a real luxury after exploring The Burren which was a truly unforgettable experience. The kitchen was fully equipped & all appliances appeared new. The sitting area was very comfortable with a wood burner which made it very cosy at night when we reflected on our day. Family bikes were provided, barbeque & outdoor furniture. The Farmhouse was located close to Lisdoonvarna, Doolin & The Cliffs. We also visited Lahinch, Milltown Malbay & Spanish Point. We enjoyed exploring Doolin & visiting the knitwear & crafts shops & having a cuppa. There are many nice eateries but we enjoyed eating in O'Connor's Pub & our daughter enjoyed visiting the Chocolate Shop. The people in the area are very friendly & helpful in their recommendations. The highlight was visiting the Cliffs of Moher. We had a very clear sunny day & the views were magnificent. Bring a Picnic & take it all in! We were very recluntant to say our goodbyes to West Clare. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Farmhouse Cottage. We would highly recommend it & we hope to return soon again. Thank you to Clement & John who were on hand to show us to the cottage & if we required any assistance. Thank you to Hogan Cottages for a great listing of Cottages & for helping us to find this real gem, "Farmhouse Cottage" Claughan, Co. Clare. Looking forward to returning already. Happy Holidays Sharon Lowe

"This was the best home we've ever rented!"
It was clean and comfortable and had modern amenities. The location was quiet and the view from the street (of the cliffs and ocean) was amazing. Thank you so much!! If it is helpful to know, the bike tires were flat so having a pump in the shed would be helpful. Also, it was super helpful to have the person (who met us in town and led us to the property) show us how to turn everything on in the house because a lot of the switches weren't intuitive.

"Cottage was great, very rural quiet setting."

"Pro's -------------------------- Fantastic Bungalow."
Well decorated and high quality finish. Quiet and peaceful location. Very comfortable. Easy access to major roads for touring the area. Great view of the stars at night (clouds allowing). Sky TV and acceptable wifi (dropped out one morning for a half hour). Cons -------------------------- No soap in bathrooms. No shaver socket (for electric toothbrush). Never found a room thermostat so property was always very warm (although my wife puts this as a plus :) ). Overall: -------------------------- Would highly recommend and will likely stay here again.

"Had a wonderful week this March at Sykes."
Cottage is very comfortable, tastefully decorated and is well equipped. Especially loved the log burner and very comfy bed. Location is beautiful, wild countryside and so peaceful. Walking down the lane gives you fantastic views of the ocean and the cliffs of Moher. Will definitely be returning.

"What a fabulous property, which exceeded all expectations, the cottage was well equipped with everything you could require , home from home, the standard of the property and interior design was far better than expected for a holiday let, gorgeous open fire, and comfortable beds, the people were friendly and welcoming and the area just stunning you can see the sea from the gateway we didn't manage to find a footpath that lead directly to the sea unfortunately but that didn't spoil it ."

The property
Lisdoonvarna 3 miles.
An outstanding County Clare cottage, close to the coast outside the Burren town of Lisdoonvarna and 3.5 miles from Doolin.
Beautifully finished throughout, this cottage makes a fantastic base for family and friends to get together and explore the West Coast.
Set all on the ground floor, the cottage boasts three comfortable bedrooms; two doubles and a twin, offering good flexibility.
The open plan living area keeps everyone together while the meals are being prepared so no one will feel like they are missing out on the planning of next days activities.
After dinner, put your feet up in front of the stove, log onto the WiFi and share your photos with those at home and let them see what they are missing out on.
As the day draws to an end, take yourself outside and sit down with a well-earned drink and enjoy the summers breeze.
Lisdoonvarna will tend to your basic needs with shops, pubs and restaurants for you to visit if you dont fancy cooking, so go ahead and take the night off and let someone else do the dishes.
The surrounding area offers great scenery should you decide to go for a walk or cycle; in the shed you will find four bicycles left by the owner for you to make use of and enjoy.
Or jump in the car and take yourself to Lahinch beach to look out over the Atlantic Ocean.
While staying in the area you should be sure to check out the outstanding scenery and spectacular views at the Cliffs of Moher.
This really is a brilliant cottage that should be booked without hesitation to avoid disappointment.
