"This place was AMAZING!"
So cozy and comfy. I woke up one morning very warm and looked out the window and saw frost on the very traditional looking Irish landscape. The owners were simply lovely and very welcoming.

"This is a lovely cottage well situated for exploring Clare."
It’s about a 10 minute drive from Ennis where there’s great food shopping for self-catering plus restaurants, bars etc. The cottage is exactly as shown in photos, is nicely decorated, very clean and comfortably furnished, has good heating and ventilation, good beds and bedding, good hot water and towels. There was also an excellent welcome pack that was much appreciated given that we arrived just as it was getting dark. The only downside is the sitting room furniture which is rather bulky for the room size and crowds the room somewhat. It would be fine for four adults and a couple of kids sitting on the floor but would be a struggle for six adults watching a movie for example. The kitchen dining area and bedrooms easily accommodate six adults and are spacious. Other than that, an exemplary stay. Highly recommended.

"Excellent property and lovely owners."
We'd certainly stay again. Maria's scones are highly recommended along with Tony's thoughts on rugby. Everything about Meadow View was perfect.
-
"We had a lovely fortnight at Meadow View."
The owners were very friendly and easily contactable - the house is well appointed and spacious.
-
"Very large, well equipped, and comfortable cottage in a quiet location."
Minutes away from Quinn with a very nice pub/restaurant. Very responsive owners—the one minor problem we had had Maria at our door literally within 3 minutes after sending her a text. And the homemade scones were greatly appreciated along with the other welcoming goodies. Great hospitality.
-

Very peaceful, except for the cows but we liked that! Well equipped with everything you can think of, better than anywhere I've stayed before. Lovely hosts, made key collection easy and close by should you need anything.

"The property was clean and presentable and was plenty big enough for six people staying with the advantage of having a separate bathroom downstairs."
Marie made some delicious scones for our arrival and both Tony and Marie could not do enough for us on the holiday and made us feel so welcome. Irish hospitality at its very best so thank you guys. The property had all the mod cons such as dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer airer's which came in handy. I could not fault the accomodation along with Tony and Marie hospitality made the stay great and we will be coming back.

"Excellent beds, very comfortable."
Pillows perhaps too soft, a choice of firmness would be nice. A bit underequipped in the kitchen for cooking utensils, cutlery and sufficient china and glasses for the maximum number of guests. Very clean and well prepared, very courteous and friendly, helpful owners.
-
"Tony and Maria were lovely hosts."
The care and attention put in to the property condition and guests stay was evident. The house was well equipped and positioned well enough for days out to Galway and Cork and Moher Cliffs. We would gladly go back to this accommodation and consider it one of the best we have stayed at on our travels.
-

"A fabulous house, with everything you could possibly need provided."
Very comfortable and warm. An excellent location for exploring Co. Clare. The owners, Tony and Maria made us feel so welcome and were always on hand if we had any queries. The fresh scones provided for our arrival were very much enjoyed and a lovely touch! We would definitely recommend staying here and hopefully we will do so again during a future trip to Ireland!
-
"Lovely cottage with everything you would need, excellent attention to detail by hosts who are lovely and accommodating."
The area is lovely and central for visits to Doolin cave, Bunratty Castle and folk Park, a little further for the Quiet Man tour as Cong but beautiful scenery on way including cliffs of Moher. Also, lovely food at the Abbey Tavern a mile away if you don't want to cook!
-
"Tony and Maria define what is meant by Irish hospitality - homemade scones, butter and strawberry jam on arrival, lots of towels and linen and home comforts that one often has to buy and bring, a home that lives up to the photos on line, a delightful village environment for walks and food and lots of helpful suggestions about where to go and what to do."
Maria is an artist and Tony a gifted conversationalist - we could not have asked for more.

"The house is in a stunning location, 5 mins drive from the M18, 2 mins drive from Quin and 15 mins drive from Ennis."
Received a very warm welcome from Maria and Tony, and Maria's fresh homemade Scones were delicious, also provided was milk, tea and coffee. The house is very traditional and beautiful from the outside, and has recently been modernised inside to an exceptional standard, lovely lounge, hallway, and large kitchen, and large bathroom, with toilet, separate bath and shower are on the ground floor, upstairs one double bedroom has onsuite, with separate access to it for the other 2 bedrooms, one double and one large twin, the house in a very quiet spot away from the main road into Quin, surrounded by meadows (the clue was in the name) and plenty of wildlife as well as cattle. There is a driveway to the rear of the property with ample parking. Quin has amongst other shops, a Groceries/Bakery shop, pharmacy and 3 bars, we was recommended the Abbey Tavern for food by Tony and wasn't disappointed, after a meal you can walk it off around the Quin Friary. We would definitely stay again, especially as its a great base to explore County Clare, Galway and Limerick. Once again, thank you Maria and Tony for sharing your family home with us.

"Our stay at Meadowview cottage was Absolutely wonderful."
The house was perfectly situated for travel to all the places we wanted to go and it was a beautiful location as well. The house was beautiful refinished and had all the amenities for our family of 6. Maria and Tony were so helpful with all our needs and Maria even provided fresh scones and tea on our arrival. We would definitely stay here again and would recommend to anyone!

"We are from the US and did a vacation in ireland we chose this house for its location."
It was absolutely perfect location, size, cleanliness. The owners were the perfect host did everything to make us feel welcome: having milk, eggs, bread, fresh biscuits. Amazing. We would absolutely recommend staying here and we would definitely stay here again. My husband and kids loved waking up to the cows( they were not loud at all very friendly). Thank you for everything
-
"This large property was reasonably priced, clean, well presented, and had all the amenities that we could possibly want."
Our hosts Tony and Maria had left a welcome pack with the basics and a plate of homemade scones that were delicious. We have stayed in many cottages in Ireland and would rate this in the top 3 for comfort. It is 5 minutes away from Quin by car which is a lovely village with an old abbey, a couple of pubs and shops. We would like to thank Tony and Maria for their care throughout our stay and will probably return. Highly recommended. Thank you.

"We recently stayed at Tony and Maria’s house."
Our first impression was to meet them as welcoming hosts, followed with fresh scones and start up supplies. The house is so homely, welcoming and had everything we needed. We were fortunate to choose this beautiful house newly renovated with care and attention to every detail,, we couldn’t find any fault. The house was gleaming, you could see your reflection in the fridge and bath. It is also a great base for alot of main attractions and we loved getting back to the comfort of the house in the evening. Thank you Maria and Tony. We will recommend and definitely visit again.

"Our family of six stayed for a week, very comfortably."
The owner stopped by several times to check in on our satisfaction and needs. It was close to airport and close to UL. Very satisfied...Hope to go again.
-
"This was an absolutely wonderful and delightful experience."
The house is modern, bright and very clean. Hosts, Maria and Tony could not have been more hospitable. Everything is there for your use including a hairdryer! If coming from US - the only thing you need to bring is a converter to plug in your phone etc. I’ve travelled to Ireland many times and will report that this was the best place I’ve stayed. You will not be disappointed! Go!

"Meadow View is an exceptionally enjoyable experience."
Great views out onto the lanes of County Clare and well located near the old village of Quin with its beautiful old Abbey, so well preserved. The road network into Ennis, a lovely lively town, and onto the motorway networks meant that we could explore the many jewels of Clare and come back to a relaxing, warm and friendly house - strongly recommend this and the accommodating owners who welcomed and introduced us too.
-
"We had a really lovely stay at this house."
Newly renovated, spacious and very comfortable. Everything is provided and the hosts Tony and Maria are very helpful and accommodating if you have any requests. We would definitely stay here again when looking for a quiet break in the countryside.
