Beautiful place, quiet and away from everything. Shame the restaurant and bar at the golf club is shut(nothing to do with the village) couple of pubs and restaurants around 10mins drive away. Just nice to get away for a few days helpful and friendly staff very relaxed and safe

Lovely houses
Lovely rural pier setting. House was clean and had all the intensive and stuff needed for a relaxing stay. Friendly staff in reception. Will return again when in the area. Wi-Fi not very reliable but that’s being sorted out I was told but it didn’t spoil me stay at all.

LOVE this place. I stayed for two weeks. The staff were extremely helpful giving us suggestions of where to eat or what to see. The grounds and buildings were all very clean and well maintained. At least one weekend was fully booked but I almost never heard a neighbor unless we were both outside. Very relaxing and peaceful. Highly recommened!

Ok
Out stay was perfect got there on Friday at 5pm, we had done our food shopping on the way but when we got there no sockets worked in the house, the trip switch wouldn’t stay up, reception was closed we tried contacting the 3 numbers that was there and got no answer, A loud noise from under the stairs which should only make a noise if the shower was turned on, there was no hot water because of this nice and we didn’t get hold of anybody till the Sunday morning which a lovely man pat called and we had to leave the house for a few hours while he had too change a part on the emersion which was pointless because we had too be out of the house the following morning at 10am but other than that the house was spotless and I would definitely stay again but wouldn’t pay the price I paid and end up not being able too shower or charge our phones watch tv, all our shopping had to be binned

Family Summer Vacation
We had a few issues with the water heater and washer/dryer but they were addressed immediately! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay there again. Worked perfectly for my family - we had separate sleeping rooms and a spacious common living/dining area. Plenty of space for everyone. Only issue was we couldn't use both showers simultaneously as we would lose hot water all together (no water coming out at all).
Stayed 8 nights in Aug 2019
Response from Ger on 24 Aug 2019
Hi Melissa Thanks for your positive feedback and glad that that the team responded quickly to your maintenance requests. The showers are both electric and one will lose power if both are on together

The property itself was great and there was tons of room in our space. It was a beautiful location, and fairly easy to find. The one reason I wasn’t completely satisfied was because the internet at the location is almost non-existant. The only time we could consistently get internet was at 5:30 in the morning when no one else was awake or by going into the office and using the internet connection there.

Hi Sarah Thanks for taking the time to send this review. The internet is very intermittent in this area and not in our own control but the government has launched a nationwide rural broadband campaign which will see us benefitting in the very near future.

The location is incredibly remote and not close to a town or grocery store. The wifi was non existent, the rooms were dated, and many of our appliances in our cottage were not working. The grounds keeper often was mowing or doing maintenance near our unit prior to 7 am in the morning. I booked online but was not told or informed that cleaning would be an additional fee. It was never an option to add on. I had to ask for towels and toilet paper and no one serviced our unit during our 8 day stay otherwise. Very disappointed.

Wonderful stay
This place is beautiful! I could not believe we had a whole two-story cottage for the price. Great service. A couple of downsides: the restaurant food isn't great, and the area is quite far from any large city or attraction. It's very rural. I would highly recommend for families, it's great for kids.

Everyone was very pleasant, but if you need internet, there is none here. I know it says there is, but there is not. I planned to do some work online in the evenings, but we could rarely even get our mail. Forget about pulling up a web page. The modem in our unit was not working, and we had to use the internet from a different unit, even after I reported it to be not working. Unfortunate!

This was our second time at East Clare Golf Village - we love the location, the scenery is lovely and the setting is so peaceful. The accommodation is really good, the lounge/dining area is really spacious and well furnished. The kitchen area is very good, well equipped with microwave, toaster, kettle, coffee maker, electric hob, fridge, washer, and dishwasher. Upstairs there are two large bedrooms (one double and one twin) - our bed was really comfy and the linen was excellent. Worth saying all the towels in the property were also excellent.

We used the East Clare Golf Village as a base to do some of the Lough Derg Blue Way walks. I was pleased with the accommodation. We stayed in February and got caught in a couple of rain showers....it was good to have somewhere cozy and comfortable to return to.
