"My wife and I just had a Halloween weekend in Co Clare at the boat house with all our family. 8 adults, 3 teenagers and 3 young ones. From my first contact with Michele, I was made feel quite at home long before the weekend even started. We arrived late and being October it was great to find the house warm and cosy. There were freshly baked loaves, cake, brownies in the kitchen with milk and ice-cream etc in the fridge - fantastic..The house easily facilitated all our needs, with ample entertaining spaces (excellent TV bar area upstairs with great views of Shannon estuary), kitchen and dining room coped with the 14 of us perfectly. Bedrooms and bathrooms have everybody the original spaces they needed. Even though it was Oct/Nov the jacuzzi was well used by quite a few of us. The area of South West Clare gave us exactly what we wanted for our late autumn break, surprisingly good weather, cliff walks and fantastic views.Overall everybody had very enjoyable short break in a very comfortable and spacious family friendly home.Thx for all that Michele."

"Our host Mary was warm and welcoming, our accommodation was warm and homely and the served breakfast was delicious. The games room and lounge wa a delightful addition 👌 😍 "

"Difficult to find, don’t trust the GPS, go to Hughes Bar, it’s just a bit down the road from there. Once there it is the most beautiful, magical place I have ever been. The grounds are wonderful, with a babbling brook in the back, behind the deck. Caroline and Timmy were most helpful getting us to the cottage and settled in. I can’t say enough good things, it is truly a once in a lifetime experience."

"Really nice hotel. Room was clean and comfortable. Food in the bar was really good. if I could make one suggestion, it would be to have plugs beside the bed with USB ports."

"Review for Cashen Course House – September 2025 We had a lovely stay at Cashen Course House in Ballybunion. The location is perfect — quiet but still close to the town and golf course. The room was spotless, and everything was well maintained, which made for a really comfortable stay. Having on-site parking was a big plus, especially after driving around the countryside. The hosts were friendly and welcoming, which added a personal touch to the experience. I’d definitely recommend this B&B to anyone visiting the area. Would happily stay again!"
