A Great Place to Stay.

This was a great place to stay. The accommodation was spacious and very comfortable. The area is tranquil and so scenic with lots of places to go including great beaches. Our host looked after us well. Thank you for a great relaxing holiday.

Lovely house, well equipped, great location

Just spent a great week here, host is friendly and helpful. The house is very well equipped and spacious and has everything you need. Very near to some lovely beaches and close enough to Kilrush for shops and restaurants. Will be back in the summer.

Peaceful.

Lovely kitchen , plenty of places to sit. Great washing machine, coffee maker and dishwasher. Expensive accommodation so the rubbish disposal should be included in the price (7 euro). Visitors should not be advised to drive 8 miles to take their rubbish to the recycling .

Hi Sandra Many thanks for your review of Matthew's Cottage, Doonbeg, Co. Clare. We are delighted you enjoyed your stay and appreciate your business and comments. It is unfortunate the Council there insist on the rubbish being collected as you describe it, regrettably that is beyond the owners control. We hope to welcome you again to Trident Holiday Homes.

Fantastic house

The house is modern, clean and very spacious. The views across the fields to the estuary between Clare and Kerry are unspoilt. The garden around the house is maintained to a high standard. Beautiful White Strand beach Doonbeg is 3 minutes drive from the house. We had to bring all bins - general waste and recycling to a waste depot. This is a great inconvenience when one is on holiday to have to travel to sort out bins.

Large house at a very good location

The house is large, which can be helpful especially on a rainy day. Good view through the large and numerous windows, from the upper floor one can see even a bit of the Atlantic close by. For us it was a perfect location. It is a perfect location, if you got a car (many interesting places reachable with a short trip!) and you are self catering/cooking on most occasions. If you do not have a car and do not like to cook whilst on holiday, then be warned: There is no infrastructure close by, even Doonbeg is a few kilometers away. The house was clean and well equipped, however, we had to clean some kitchen equipment prior to use. This was more a problem of the guests who stayed there before us, but one could have looked after that. Mr O’Brien was gentle and especially helpful on our departure where we had to change plans pretty sudden due to a ferry cancellation. Other guests complained about complicated waste disposal. We had no problems: We brought recyclable waste to Kilkee the day before our departure, Mr O’Brien looked after the general waste. Other guests complained about the 70€ for electricity. I admitt that this was a bit strange, since there is no refund when less is used but Mr O’Brien talked about additional payment if needed, but overall we had not a problem with it since it looks more like Mr O’Brien needs to keep things simple for him and it is not that amount.

Schönes Haus mit unangenehmen Begleiterscheinungen

Großes, solides Haus in angenehmer Umgebung, mit unangenehmen Begleiterscheinungen: Elektizitätspauschale pro Tag viel zu hoch - keine Rückerstattung für nicht genutzte Einheiten; Müll muss selbst zur Deponie gebracht werden, was in keiner Hausregel steht; defekter Geschirrspüler wird nicht repariert oder ersetzt; in Küche, Geschirr und Bad einige Schmuddelecken, Trident Holydays Homes nicht hilfreich, agiert unprofessionell! Fazit: nie wieder!

Thank you for your comments Reiner. We are really sorry to hear you are disappointed with your booking. Unfortunately, the utilities are charged at a set up rate and it is non-refundable. This is advertised upon booking and listed within your confirmation emails. Apologies if you feel you were misled by this information.

Large rooms, spacious home. Has everything a family needs, dishwasher, washing machine, line & all cooking facilities Short drive from Kilkee and Kilrush Host was friendly & lives onsite Place was kept really well even the grounds all looked freshly painted If I had to pick I’d say carpet cleanliness in main living room & offer one set of same coloured towels……example all brown or all blue
