We loved Kinvara because it was a lovely little village on the sea with very little tourists. The people in the town were very friendly! The house was in a fantastic location and walkable to stores, restaurants and pubs. The house was comfortable and spacious. In our travels around Ireland, Kinvara was our favorite. Would definitely stay here again!!
Very suitable for 3 seniors. Easy access to pubs & restaurants. Easy to find & only a short walk to the waterfront. Love the outdoor space with a cloths line. Definitely recommend to a family as well.
We really enjoyed our stay at Kinvara. The place was close to pubs and restaurants, groceries and liquor sales. The house itself was clean and all it was supposed to be. It was a little odd with the 2 kitchen areas, but it added to it's charm! Highly recommended! So much to see in the area C
What an amazing place to spend Christmas! There was a Christmas tree in the window, right next to the fire. We slept great, enjoyed wonderful meals with the fully equipped kitchen, explored the area, walked to a pub or two and just relaxed. Loved our visit. Bernie, that checked us in, was the sweetest. Thank you!
Our family of five adults fit into this space perfectly. Location is awesome. Exactly as pictured. Tony and Bernie were quick to respond to us when needed. Don't hesitate to book this lovely space.

Good accommodations
We had a great time in Kinvarra! Proximity to the Aran Islands, Cliffs of Mohr, etc. was great and we enjoyed the local pubs and music. The accommodations were great, clean and well stocked.
We were a little put off by the amount of traffic and related noise, at times it was hard to even cross the street and the bedrooms that faced the road were noisy. Toni was very responsive and gave us lots of information on things to do and see. Overall we enjoyed the town and had a great time.
The place had so much room and was very homey. Just wish we knew how to use the heaters and showers better. Both were freezing at this time of year and host had phone issues and never responded. Cutest home and little town. Made it easy to get to Galway without staying in the busy city. Also nice drive to Cliffs of Moher. Walked to the local castle. Locals were very friendly. Was a bit hard getting out in the mornings as schools are very near and busy.
We stayed at Tony's home in Kinvara for a few days on our first trip to Ireland. It was perfect! The photos didn't do it justice. From the moment we arrived we felt right at home. The home is spotless and cozy. It is located within walking to everything, the bus, grocery, restaurants and pubs! Bernie and her husband made our stay seamless, they answered any and all questions we had. We were so grateful that we were able to store our luggage at arrival before check in, since we had a long travel day and we were a bit earlier than we planned. I would 100% recommend staying at Tony's , we can't wait to stay here again!
Thank you, we had a wonderful time!
As others have said layout is a bit weird because of additions, but it works. Location is very handy. Place was well stocked with necessities. It’s right on the street so you’ll hear traffic noise and kids going to and coming from school. But it adds to the character of the home. My only complaint is the WiFi is so slow that it’s nearly unusable.
We really enjoyed staying at the cozy apartment. The location was wonderful and very convenient. The apartment layout was unusual, but offered us everything the 4 of us needed. The showers were warm and easy to use. The upstairs would be difficult access for those with a walking disability. It worked for us.
Bernie was wonderful. She gave us a guided tour of the apartment and information about sites & restaurants around the area. We would stay here again! Thank you.
Beautiful home with lots of character and charm , well maintained with everything you need , friendly host , very good communication- highly recommend!
We loved this place just around the corner from our favorite pub (Green's), restaurants, the market, shops and the harbour. We had everything we needed, and the charm of the place was everything. it's unique, including a layout with two kitchens and some steps up and down, but we loved the wood-burning fire stove, the little garden with roses out back and let's say it again — a great location for exploring the Burren (don't miss the Burren Perfumery) and environs! Make sure to visit Green's, Tully's (music in both) and Keogh's for breakfast.
What a great place within steps to grocery, restaurants, pubs, and even a castle. The back patio area was perfect for an afternoon beer or ice cream for the kids.
It was in a convenient location to everything. We felt the furniture was a bit dated and the layout was a bit inconvenient but we all ended up enjoying our stay in Kinvarra and the surrounding area. We enjoyed a fire in the little stove every evening we were there. Thank you for your hospitality.
We really enjoyed our stay in this home. The village of Kinvara is picturesque and perfectly situated between Galway and the Cliffs of Moher to allow you to visit both. Beds were comfy and the home was well appointed. We really enjoyed our stay!
Sweet little funky place! Loved the house and it was steps away from grocery store, pubs, coffeehouse, farmers market and a Castle! Definitely would stay again.
