Coastal View House

Coastal View House

10/10 Excellent
"This was by far my favourite place we stayed during our trip to Ireland! We only stayed for one night, and I genuinely wish we could have stayed for a few more. The room was perfect for our party of three, with three comfortable beds and a private bathroom. Everything was exceptionally clean, beautifully decorated, and thoughtfully put together. The room had everything we needed, with plenty of little touches that made it feel very welcoming. The property itself is absolutely beautiful. Waking up to the horses in the pasture with the ocean in the distance honestly felt like a dream. One of my favourite parts was meeting Charlie, the sweetest golden retriever, and waking up to see him playing outside with his toy against that backdrop! Self check-in was straightforward and easy, and the property was conveniently located close to town - literally less than a 5 minute drive. I also had the chance to meet the host, who was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Such a peaceful, beautiful and memorable place to stay. The attention to detail really stood out, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. I would absolutely stay here again - and next time, for longer!"
