Marvelous Cottage + Irish Hospitality

My husband, infant son, and I just recently stayed at this lovely Mountshannon cottage for a week whilst touring Ireland. The accomodations were lovely, as were the helpfulness and hospitality. The peat fire burned upon our arrival, and the place was clean and stocked with coffee, tea, and delicious homemade apple tart. True Irish kindness at its best, for certain. I would highly recommend this cottage to anyone who seeks comfort and tradition at the right price.

A taste of Rural Ireland,

James was the consummate host. While the unit could be called country cottage simple, the welcome was all one might expect in the form of warm Irish hospitality. Situated on the outskirts of Mountshannon, you do need transport, but with car in hand you will be able to visit the highlights of the region. just bare in mind local 'R' roads can be narrow with high hedges, and meeting commercial traffic might test your nerves. However, think cautiously, drive slowly and all will be well. The nearby Lough is very picturesque, and you can walk to a small port where the view is across to Holy Island. We had one mishap, while enjoying the the best of Irish hospitality, but we all caught Covid.... However, James and the neighbors could not have been kinder, supplying us with books, games and veggies from their garden to sustain and aid our recovery. Thank you. Rod Sandra & Miss Flora

A little slice of heaven

Our stay in James's cottage was pure bliss. Its located in the most idyllic spot with a 4 minute walk to the lake and a view to the mountains. The cottage itself was lovely and private but James and Anne were always on hand with a friendly hello or to answer a question. Myself and my family had a wonderful week there and would go back in a heartbeat. Thank you for everything.

Erholsamer Aufenthalt

James war ein toller Gastgeber. Wir kamen recht spät an und im Kamin brannte ein Torffeuer für uns. Das Häuschen ist gemütlich eingerichtet und wir haben nichts vermisst. Die Dusche ist für irische Verhältnisse riesig und der Wasserdruck hervorragend (beides schon häufig anders erlebt). Es sind tatsächlich nur wenige Meter bis zum Ufer des Lough Derg und die Umgebung ist wunderschön.

Cosy cottage in Clare

We had a great stay in the cottage and would definitely go back. The cottage itself is cosy and has everything you need to just relax. The bed was really comfortable, the shower had good pressure and the kitchen had everything you need. One word of warning though, when the grill is on the buttons for the hob get really hot but that's just knit picking. James himself is a complete gentleman and was very helpful and attentive without being in your face all the time. All in all we had a lovely week in the cottage and were very sad leaving. I would definitely recommend it as the perfect base for sightseeing in the beautiful Clare countryside. Thank you James and I hope to see you again

Excellent Cottage

My wife and I visited this cottage near Mountshannon for 3 days in June of 2012. It was a great base to visit County Clare and the West Coast. On one of the days it rained and rained, but we enjoyed a relaxing day in the cottage. The owner is a great guy, very warm and friendly. He even helped me with the rental car when one of the tires blew out. I would highly recommend staying here.

Cottage at Mountshannon

"I spent a charming week at Mount Shannon. The cottage was clean and cosy, nicely decorated and comfortable, with possibility of listening to music and a warned bed. My hosts were welcoming and attentionate. I could feel at home when invited to dinner or to touring. And we did a lot of touring discovering wonderful sceneries and spending a good time; I recommend the location and the hosts for a nice stay with only good surprises."

Top O' the Mornin to Ya !...

Top O' the Mornin to Ya !!! I had the pleasure of staying in this lovely little cottage in Apr/May of 2009. Mr. Kinney was so very kind, after our long flight, we arrived to groceries in the fridge as he knew we would be tired. The views were outstanding, hospitalilty neverending, and accomodations very comfortable for me as I used the cottage as my home base for daily travels. Some of the most friendliest people I have ever met in Ireland. Will definately be back to the Emerald Isle!!!
