This is a nicely renovated and well-kept apartment right in the center of town. It was super convenient having the supermarket directly across the street, and everything in town was within easy walking distance. The space was comfortable, clean, and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. Would definitely recommend!
Great apartment in a great location. Met by Tristan & Scott, Tristan explained everything thoroughly. Free parking and a supermarket right outside plus a welcome pack of drinks and snacks.lovely kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms and a great TV to relax in the evenings. Great for my elderly mother with the lift access to the first floor apartment. useful communication throughout our stay. Actually looked forward to returning to the apartment after being out all day. Would highly recommend and definitely would stay again.
Secure, well located place to stay. Met by one of the owners who explained everything we needed to know and was very helpful.
Flat very well furnished with lovely personal touches.
Welcome basket and treats in fridge an excellent idea and much appreciated. Supermarket close by for supplies.
Scott met us at 1 on day of our arrival and he explained everything to us regarding the keys tv, heating and hot water. There was milk bread butter and also a welcome pack left with lots of ‘goodies’ which was a really nice gesture and much appreciated. The apartment is on first floor and easily accessible by lift for my husband who is disabled. It is also next door to the supermarket ,which has everything you require, and right opposite the beautiful marina . It is only a short walk into town and also ample parking . We would recommend this apartment to anyone visiting Kilrush and our hosts were excellent and always replied promptly to messages .
The apartment is local centered in Kilrush, a supermarket is directly next door and you can find easily a parking place in front of the house. To check in was very easy and uncomplicated. A welcome basket with some sweets, drinks in the fridge and coffee brings us a warm welcome. The size of the apartment is perfect for a family with 2 kids (our kids love the loft bed), it has generous proportions. You can find everything that you need in the aparment. It was the perfect stay for us in Kilrush to do some trips in North.

Thank you so much Sven. And thank you for looking after Hector's House like it was your own home. You are a 5-star guest, and are welcome back to stay any time in the future. Tristan and Scott
Excellent holiday stay at Hectors House. Met by Scott on arrival who showed us around the property and explained the security features, how to use the appliances etc. they also left a small welcome pack of bread, milk etc., which was very much appreciated.
Apartment has everything you could want for a self catering stay and was great to come back to at the end of each day. We were always able to park right outside as well which was helpful. The bed in the master bedroom is the best I’ve every slept in. Showers were hot, living area and tv great to relax in front of in the evening. Would recommend this place and would stay here again.

Thank you Jane for a truly wonderful review. You were fantastic guests and we look forward to hosting you again in the future. Tris & Scott
Hector's House is an excellent two bedroom apartment in Kilrush. It's clean, has comfy beds, a great living room, lots of hot water, a brilliant kitchen and a super television. The wifi is brilliant. We loved everything about this place.
One tiny niggle - on the day we left we found some board games in a drawer in the hall! If we had known about these earlier, we would have used them! Definitely worth adding some information to the house information booklet (which is wittily written by the way), or labelling the drawer.
A second pair of keys would have been very useful too. We didn't ask for one, so I don't know whether Scott/Tristan would have supplied.
Thanks for a great stay.
Great apartment, great location. Everything went as planned, but it is the little things, you know. Lack of manuals for the dishwasher and washer/dryer. Weak instructions for the vents in the windows. Missing some kitchen tools: whisk, ladle, knife sharpener. Like the cutting board and layout of the apartment, the security outside of the apartment itself is mostly non functional. Overall impression: a good place to stay but not perfect.

Thank you for your feedback. We have put a whisk, and ladle into the kitchen. All manuals for appliances are located in the cupboard above the oven (as stated in the guest handbook) We have looked at security outside the apartment - although we are not sure what improvements we can suggest as Kilrush is a fairly sleepy town on the West Coast of Ireland and has an extremely low crime rate - which is why we like it so much!

We live in the West of Ireland with our family. We have three adopted children and live life to the full! We have a wonderful apartment in Kilrush on the Wild Atlantic Way in Ireland and two holiday chalets located in Bacton on the North Norfolk Coast. We are very proud of all of them! I am a stay at home Dad, and my husband works with LGBTQ+ families that are interested in adoption as well as the wider field of adoption and permanence. You may know Scott better online as gayadoptiondad
Why they chose this property
During the Covid lockdown we needed something to keep our sanity, so we decided to buy an apartment that wasn't in good shape, and refurbish it to be outstanding. We are delighted with the result, and hope you will be too. We love our apartment in Kilrush and stay there ourselves as much as possible when we have time off from work. Kilrush is a lovely market town located on the banks of the Shannon Estuary and is only minutes from some of the finest beaches and attractions that West Clare has to offer. Kilrush is also only a 45 minute drive from Shannon International Airport.
