Magnificent 5 Bedroom House Fronting Onto Shoreline with Wifi
About this house rental
Situated in County Clare, this charming house for £212 per night is a fantastic choice for your next break. Sycamore House is situated in the picturesque village of Ballyvaughan in the heart of the Burren National Park, a karst limestone region, one of the largest in Europe where you will find arctic, Mediterranean and alpine plants side by side. From the front of the house you can see the rolling hills of the Burren, its limestone pavements with crisscrossing cracks known as 'grikes' leaving isolated rocks called 'glints'. The rear of the house is mostly glazed to take in the views of Ballyvaughan harbour and across Galway Bay and the mountains of Connemara. With its large gently sloping lawn fronting onto the shoreline, a pathway from the house along by an old stone wall leads to flag stone steps onto the sea shore. There is also a secluded seating area with polished limestone table at the end of this pathway where one can relax and watch the ever changing seascape as the tides go in and out. The house has been designed to optimize the views. From the moment you enter the house you have views of Galway Bay. The sunken open plan kitchen-dining area is the heart of the house and boasts a glass wall 24'long by 12' high. The house is centrally heated throughout and for added comfort there is a solid fuel stove in this area which gives a warm cozy feeling when temperatures outside start to drop. Total floor space in the house is 3200 sq ft so space is generous in every room. All five bedrooms are ensuite and we pride ourselves on the quality of our beds and linen. Between them there are four queen sized beds and three single beds and the master bedroom which stands alone on the upper level has an extra sofa bed which is mostly used for relaxing with a glass of wine and a good book while also gazing out to sea. Ballyvaughan village regarded as the jewel in the crown of the Burren region has a choice of good restaurants, craft shops and local shops. It is the ideal base to explore the rich heritage of the Burren and surrounding areas. The famous Burren Way (26 miles of green road) starts in Ballyvaughan, goes to Fanore, Doolin and ends in Liscannor taking in the Cliffs of Moher. For the golfers, the famous links course at Lahinch is only a thirty minute drive from the house and further down the Clare coast is the Greg Norman designed Doonbeg course. There is also a choice of less well known courses such as Gort and Ennis. Close to the house the unspoiled beaches of Bishops Quarter and Fanore invite you to swim ,kayak and surf. The sheltered Ballyvaughan Bay is suitable for all kinds of water activities. Try a swim in the sea or learn to dive with the Burren Adventure Dive Centre. Finally when it is time to relax the living room beckons to put your feet up, with its plush leather sofas and soft furnishings and to add to the atmosphere on those cooler nights why not start a fire in the large open fireplace made from polished Burren stone. As an added treat firewood is provided free of charge. Keywords: House , Sea front property

Both this house and area were gorgeous. We stayed for Christmas with parents and in-laws and it was a wonderful experience. Seamus even had a Christmas tree up :D.
5.0
We stayed for 2 nights and it’s just what was needed to rest and relax within a middle of a 10 day vacation around Ireland. The home was clean, homey, and comfortable - it was BEAUTIFUL!
NOT one bad thing to say- highly recommend - wish we stayed longer. House, location, host: all were 5 stars!
5.0
We had a great time staying at Seamus’ house. Seamus was great at communicating with us before and during our stay. The house is gorgeous and has spectacular views. The village was friendly and inviting and there were a lot of things to do in surrounding villages. I would highly recommend this property!
5.0
We loved our stay in Ballyvaughan, amazing views, superb location, a short walk into town. Highly recommended, we are planning our return visit.

This house offers everything needed for a comfortable vacation. It is much more beautiful in person. The photos don’t do it credit. My friends and I spent a great week exploring the nearby towns and attractions. A wonderful house in a wonderful location.
5.0
Seamus was such an amazing host and helped us settle into the location with ease. He also provided us with great recommendations close to the area.
Truly have never wanted to come back to a vacation house so quickly! I hope to come back and have family reunions here several times throughout my life.
It is everything you’re looking for in an Ireland get away. Thatched roofs in local cottages, the cutest donkeys roaming near by, and a tiny whiskey bar. And the space in the house was lovely!
Cant wait to be back!
5.0
This home is exactly what it looks like - a gorgeous view, plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms, and fairly modern amenities. You can walk to the village and it was the perfect size for our party of 12. One surprise is we were charged for our electricity use but it did not amount to a whole lot and did not detract from the lovely stay. There are also a lot of rules and regs around garbage and recycling but, again, not a big deal. We stayed in three houses on the trip and this was, by far, everyone's favorite. Definitely recommend.

We stayed at Seamus’s home for a 3-day leg of our trip to Ireland and couldn’t have been happier!! Thank you for an amazing experience!
5.0
This is a superb property for a large family group. We gathered in the evenings in the magnificent kitchen to enjoy the wonderful sea views, a glass of wine and the craic. Spacious home and even better than the photos. We take with us great family memories of our time in Ballyvaughan and the beautiful scenery of County Clare.
5.0
Our group of 13 included 4 couples and 5 kids, ages 10-16. The house was just perfect for us. Plenty of spaces for people to gather - a great TV/family room, and the gorgeous open kitchen and dining area. The bedrooms were roomy and comfortable. Having so many bathrooms was a real luxury, and laundry facilities were appreciated. The house is solidly built, and very sound proof, allowing for sleep when others were up watching TV or playing games. The yard was great, although rainy weather prevented us using it much. If we are ever in the area again, we’d stay here for sure!
5.0
Clean, comfortable, friendly and available owner, lovely yard for the children, well appointed kitchen, ample out door seating. Would absolutely return.

The home was just as described and our group of 10 fit perfectly. It had everything that we needed. The property and town were lovely!!
5.0
We knew by reading online about this house that it would accommodate our large group of 8 adults and 2 children - but we didn’t realize it would be a home away from home. Accommodation was pristine, clean - and its owner, Seamus, met us there to make sure we had everything we needed. The location offered us an idyllic setting from where we easily took day trips around to sites around the area. Would recommend without hesitation, and would happily return.
5.0
This house is exactly what you see on the listing. It is very spacious for a family trip. We loved having the kitchen/dining area for games. The views are gorgeous.
Would definitely recommend this property to anyone.

Great setting on the water and an amazing home to share with family.
5.0
We had a lovely week stay at the house. With 6 adults and 5 children there was more than enough space for us all , and we all enjoyed heading down to the bottom of the garden to enjoy the view and water.
The house provided an excellent base for exploring the local area and we couldn’t have asked for anymore.
5.0
Such a lovely house and location. We had 11 adults and 2 under 3s staying and despite the weather being mostly wet and windy we all had a fantastic time. The house is so well equipped and the layout is perfect for a social gathering. Would definitely recommend.

This beautiful house was the perfect spot for our family. The house was clean and comfortable. Seamus was so nice and very helpful. We had a beautiful full rainbow over the water one morning.

We had a great time at this property and especially enjoyed the magical view and backyard.

This house was lovely and worked great for our extended family group. There was plenty of space for everyone to spread out. The bedrooms were spacious and the beds comfortable, with very warm bedding, which was important in February! The kitchen was well stocked and worked great for us for the few meals we cooked there. The view is incredible, and a wonderful way to start the day. We are very happy we chose this property as a base for our few days exploring Co Clare and Co Galway!

On arrival, both Seamus and Mary were so friendly and welcoming. The house itself is absolutely beautiful and spacious, with the most amazing views. The huge Christmas tree in the living room was a big hit with the kids!
The bedrooms were nice and big, and having en-suites in all of them was great.
The garden was enormous and we all enjoyed being able to access the shore line so easily.
We definitely hope to be back :)

We had an excellent time making the Sycamore house our landing spot upon arrival to Ireland. We are two families with five children total traveling together. Seamus was so helpful and the property was perfect for us. We would love to come again.

We are a group of five couples who enjoy traveling together and I could not have picked a more perfect house and location!! The bedrooms were spacious, the lounge was comfortable and the kitchen/dining area was wonderful with a spectacular view. The bay behind, the sheep across the street, walking distance to town, all made for a memorable trip. Can’t wait to visit Ballyvaughan again!!! Thank you Seamus!!
5.0
We had a fantastic stay at Sycamore House. What a beautiful location and home! It was perfect for us as everyone was able to have their own room and bathroom/toilet, yet the kitchen and living room provided great space for gathering. We would love to use this house again! The owner was wonderful to communicate with and provided helpful information. Overall a fantastic stay.

5.0
Of all the properties we’ve stayed at, this was the best by far. We got caught in a rainstorm on arrival day, were soaking wet, and stopped by the house several hours before check-in time - Mary was so accommodating and welcoming even though we were interrupting her final cleaning time. Seamus and Mary get 6 thumbs up! The house itself was spacious, comfortable, and tasteful with all the amenities.
5.0
We traveled with a group of 10 to stay at Sycamore House in Ballyvaughn. Seamus was a great host and very responsive to any inquiries we had prior to arriving. The house was great and comfortable for the number of people we were traveling! Each room had its own bathroom which was fabulous and we all slept comfortably. The living room was cozy and the couches were super comfortable. The main gathering area - the kitchen - has stunning views of Galway Bay and plent of room for the group to cook and eat our meals. The kitchen was well appointed with plenty of dishes and utensils. The house was very clean and the yard was beautifully manicured. You can tell that Seamus and his wife take great care of their properties! Electric and heat(if needed, we didn’t during our a stay) aren’t included in the rate which is something to be aware of but it was not a significant extra cost for us! We had a wonderful wonderful stay and we hope to be able to visit again in the future! I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Seamus in the future.

We stayed 4 nights at Seamus and Mary's place and our family loved every minute of our visit! Their hospitality went above and beyond. We appreciated their recommendations and conversation upon our arrival. The house was beautiful and you can't beat the view!

Seamus and Mary have the most magnificent house within a short walk of Ballyvaughan. Five excellent bedrooms, the ideal kitchen/dining area and a most comfortable lounge. The views are stunning, at all times of the day with the tide in and out and the horizon of the Mamturks and Twelve Pins across the bay. Unbeatable.
4.0
Fantastic property, beautiful setting and Seamus is a fantastic host. chosen as plenty of bathrooms for 7 adults going to wedding. Unfortunately one shower was disconnected and we had problems with hot water in all the others and had to rely on one electric shower for all of us . The Wi-Fi was dreadful , not good if your relying on it for work.
I would still recommend this house as long as your not relying on Wi-Fi .
5.0
We had a wonderful stay at this property. Loved the roaring fire Seamus built for our arrival!
5.0
From check in to check out we could not fault our stay one bit! Our wonderful hosts Seamus and Mary met us at the house, had the fires lit for us and left plenty of fuel for the duration of our stay. The beautiful open plan kitchen and hall area was perfect for our get together. The large sitting room was plenty big for 7 adults and 1 child. All the rooms are ensuite which was fantastic. The hosts have thought of everything in this home. We will most definitely return and will be recommending it to all.
4.0
The location of the house is amazing, with a little flaggy shore at the end of the garden and very close to the village. There was lots of space for our big group. The kitchen and living room are brilliant spaces and the views are wonderful. Overall the bedrooms were great, but just one which was a bit damp.
