This was our second stay at the Kilbaha house and it felt like coming home. Such a beautiful cozy cottage located on a lovely secluded part of the rocky cliffs of Loop Head peninsula. Hopefully one day we will return again.

This house is such an amazing property — it’s the perfect place for a cozy getaway. The views did not disappoint! It was well stocked with everything we needed and Ciara and Damien were great hosts. The house was more than enough space for our family of 5 and we never ran out of things to do in the area. This cottage made our spring break to Ireland one to remember!

A stay in this home was just what we needed to disconnect and unplug. There is an amazing view from every single window, the home is very clean and cared for and the kitchen is well stocked to make meals. We enjoyed everything the cottage offered. Make sure to visit nearby towns of Carrigaholt and Kilkee. It was a magical stay!

A Dream Vacation

We had a wonderful week at the Kilbaha cottage! It was all we were hoping for and more. I can't say enough good things. The setting was perfect, the house was clean and fully stocked, and the area around offered plenty of opportunities for exploration. It was truly a dream vacation, and we can't wait to go back!

Wonderful house with outstanding panorama

Wonderful, comfortable house in a very authentic look. Breathtaking views. House was very clean and all amenities provided. We enjoyed very much the small sauna as the weather didn’t feel like summer. I could recommend this house without any restrictions and would come back at any time.

A Fabulous Place

We really enjoyed staying here in this fabulous place. The setting is beautiful - crashing waves below and a gorgeous view to the sea. The house is wonderful, large with many amenities. It was great to be met by the host's mother to show us around the house. The owners are very responsive to any inquiries. We would definitely stay here again if we return to the Ireland.

What a view!

A wonderful cottage, clean, maintained and beautifully decorated. But even more than that, the location is prime. Perched on the rocks above the sea, you could spend days simply enjoying the views. The hosts were great. Easy to communicate with. You really couldn’t ask for more for a holiday cottage.
