“Good comfortable and all as expected”

Well located

“A beautiful cottage on the coast overlooking Barna and Spiddal across Galway Bay.”

Oranuisce Thatched Cottage is an authentic cottage that has been faithfully and sensitively restored with taste. Just a couple of miles outside Ballyvaughan on the coast road to Blackhead. We explored a different beach each day, all within walking distance or a short drive. Hosts, Paul and Teri gave us excellent tips on local restaurants, pubs, the excellent local Centra managed by John, beaches etc. Paul and Teri were always available for any queries by text, despite it being Christmas week. The cows walked past the kitchen window outside the garden wall in the mornings. It was idyllic. Perfect for our small dog, he had a secure walled back yard when he wasn't exploring beaches.

“A little bit of Irish paradise”

So beautiful, tucked away in the Burren with a private beach nearby. Treats left for my puppy too.

“We enjoyed a very pleasant 3 night stay in a lovingly restored piece of Irish history.”

No Breakfast provided, but none expected. The Thatch Cottage has obviously been recently renovated and it has been kept as original as possible taking into account modern convenience.

“This cottage offers a beautiful, authentic location near The Burren and Cliffs of Moher, but is too small for a family o”

Loved the authentic and cosy cottage right by The Burren National Park—such a fantastic spot, and only about 30 minutes from the Cliffs of Moher, making day trips really easy. The setting is peaceful, and the nearby ocean besch and village are both beautiful and charming. The host was genuinely nice and welcoming, which made the stay even more enjoyable. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a real Irish cottage experience in a stunning location.

“Fine for a short stay.”

Cute little house which is good for a short stay with family.

It would be helpful to have gates on the garden to ensure that dogs don't access the road.

We were there for a weeknd Bank Holiday, place is great if somone would like spent time on country side. House is very clean and instruction to get to the house was giving very clear. I realy recomended this place if you would like take rest from city

“Cosy cottage, comfy beds and great views but unfortunately the cottage didn’t heighten our experience.”

Comfy beds, neat bedrooms, central location for where we wanted to go, nice theme within the cottage, lovely views😊

We had a great stay in Oranuisce. It's a lovely, tastefully restored old cottage that keeps its traditional feel and atmosphere but also provides all modern comforts. It is located beside the road, but as it's not a busy road, noise is not a problem. There are nice outside spaces behind and to the side of the cottage where one can eat and sit out in good weather. There are also great views of the sea. The kitchen and bathroom are a little small and old fashioned but perfectly functional.

“Beautiful view but that it. Place in need of a good clean.”

The cottage is nice from the outside.

“a dream stay in an authentic thatched cottage on the Burren”

I have always wanted to stay in an authentic thatched cottage and Oranuisce was everything I had hoped for and more. The cottage is comfortable and tastefully decorated and we enjoyed watching the sunrises in the morning over Galway Bay and sitting out the back with fantastic views of the Burren in the evenings. We had our own car and it’s close to lots of lovely places to see including Doolin and the Cliffs of Moher. There are also some super traditional pubs nearby and great seafood restaurants. The host was most welcoming and responsive too. Thank you.

“Very enjoyable and would here again.”

We enjoyed the comforts of the cottage especially the stove in the winter evenings. The scenery is beautiful and we enjoyed eating in the nearby seafood restaurants.

“Wonderful Christmas stay with our dog”

The quiet location

“Perfect base in Co. Clare, traditional with modern comforts.”

First and foremost - that it is dog friendly. Beautiful traditional thatched cottage with everything needed for a comfortable stay. Paul the host was very accommodating and friendly, he was responsive and helpful which made me feel at home in the cottage. I appreciated all the welcoming touches, from the chilled drinks and snacks, to the fuel for the stove and Christmas decor. Beds were lovely, and the sofa was extremely comfortable. The enclosed back yard was so handy for my little dog. The whole place is gorgeous, really. Location also superb as a base.

“Exceptionnel !”

There was nothing we didn't absolutly loved ! Everything was perfect : from the lovely location (the view on both the shore and the moutains is gorgeous plus the cottage itself is beautiful and well decorated), the beds were super comfy, the snacks left and even the little gift for pour special occasion were soo thoughtful ! We enjoyed everyminute of our stay and we'll definitly think of this place if we ever come back to the area ! We totally recommend Paul's place to anyone ; in addition, he took time to answer our questions, to explain where the shops were, what road to take if we wanted to go sightseeing, which restaurant etc... It's a 10/10 for us ! The kids loved it there as well ❤️ they already miss the playground in Ballyvaughan that they enjoyed so much !

This Wonderfull Irish cottage is beautifully located on the coast. Blends in with the surrounding nature of the house. Garden to relax in and small shops and pubs nearby.Help full hosts with easy communications.
