“Best cottage I have stayed in yet, a warm welcome from Finbarr and Geri who had left us delicious homemade scones.”

The cottage was warm and cosy and its pics don’t do it justice at all. Lovely big garden and surrounds. Local supermarket and pub and great location for sightseeing. All in all great value for money. Great stay, thanks for the memories

“Fantastic property, a real home from home.”

All home comforts and a few more besides. Spotlessly clean and very well located, being close to Spanish Point beach (2 min drive). Finbar and Geraldine are the best hosts you could wish for and we hope to be back next year!

“The photo does not do justice to this lovely house.”

It is not practical to walk to the shop or beach because there is no pavement on the quite busy road.

“Amazing place to stay .”

The pictures don’t do it justice . The house is much bigger than it shows . Every thing you can think of is provided ( and more) we would have used the pretty garden more if the weather had been warmer , but that’s just a seasonal thing . Lots of room , very efficient house too . Very little energy needed to heat . Our dog loved the huge windows and doors to keep an eye on the birds . Close to amenities and Spanish Point beach .

Margaret April 2023

“Utterly delightful property.”

We were blessed with fantastic weather, and able to follow the sun in the many seating areas in the garden. The cottage was well stocked with everything we needed. It was was a lovely treat to have fresh milk, butter and jam etc left as a welcome pack.

“We had a delightful stay at Bluebell Cottage.”

The owners are great hosts. The cottage is near to amenities and ideal for the places in the area to visit. We know the area well and the cottage for us was perfect. Our grandson had plenty of space inside and outside to play too. Hope we’ll be back!!

“Had a great week stay at Bluebell cottage it had everything you could ask for and spotless clean, a nice big open kitchen area looking onto a lovely big enclosed garden where a small group of rabbits would come to graze in the evening.”

It was a good base also for exploring south Clare as Kilkee was only 25 mins away (great beach and cliff walks)and then a further 15 would take you to killimer where we got the ferry across to Kerry and drove down to Dingle across the Connor Pass, and then there’s a scenic drive to loophead lighthouse where you can see nesting fulmers and guillemots on lovers leap. Travell just north from bluebell cottage will take you to Lahinch and then on to Doolin where we had a great 20 min trip to innis oirr and horse and cart ride around the isle (well worth it) A perfect week was had staying at the Lovely Bluebell cottage where hosts Ger and Finbar couldn’t have made you more welcome

Patrick May 2022

“An excellent place to stay in a superb holiday location.”

The cliffs of Moher and the Burren are musts to see, as is the local expanse of beach at Spanish point. The town of Ballyvaughn overlooking south Galway Bay is also a must, and close to the coast road of the Burren. The cottage is well equipped and in a large garden. We enjoyed the delicious scones provided by Finbarr on day one. We can recommend this cottage wholeheartedly.

Gareth September 2020

“Our 2nd visit to Bluebell cottage, this time with a one year old!”

We had a lovely relaxing time, garden is great for the dogs, very safe. The garden is well kept and was abundant with butterflies and bees which was great to see. Inside the facilities are good. Big open, airy space. Travelcot and highchair were good quality and the cooking facilities are excellent. One minor negative, some of the door handles need tightened up. Highly recommended

- Gareth, September 2020
Paul September 2020

“Absolutely loved this cottage everything you needed was there the garden was ...”

John September 2019

“Bluebell Cottage was absolutely lovely and Finbar was a most delightful host!”

We were greeted with a plate of homemade scones with jam, butter and milk in the fridge together with tea and coffee in the cupboard. The beds were comfortable and everywhere was spotlessly clean. Loved everything about this area from the eclectic collection of shops in the the town to the majestic Cliffs of Moher. I recommend 'The Old Bakehouse' for a good evening meal, 'Foodies' for a hearty breakfast and the menu of Irish music served up in the local pubs.

- John, September 2019
Rhiannon September 2019

“What a fabulous location!”

5 minutes walk into Miltown Malbay, great tourist places to visit, and 2 minutes from the beach for fabulous refreshing walks - still missed. The facilities at Bluebell Cottage were just stunning and the cottage itself was so welcoming and warming. If you want peace and quiet - it's here, but if you wanted all your friends to visit - this is the place to invite them! The owners were so welcoming and no question or assistance was a bother. As said, we still miss it and have told lots of people about it. Would definitely stay again.

- Rhiannon, September 2019
Adrian May 2019

“Everything about the Cottage was really great, very clean, spacious and comfortable.”

Located in the heard of Co. Clare, it is easy to get to anywhere within 30/45 mins max. Finbarr the owner was extremely helpful and accommodating, providing very tasty scones, milk etc.. Overall a super place to stay.

- Adrian, May 2019
Sarah April 2019

“Lovely cottage that is well equipped and within a short drive to local amenities.”

The owners were friendly and welcoming and we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay in a beautiful part of Ireland.

- Sarah, April 2019
Pat February 2019

“The cottage was superb.”

The heating system was incredible (we stayed in February), the house is extremely well appointed with extra towels, two tv's (we've small kids so this helped prevent rows on wet days), great kitchen and entertaining space. The location is excellent for a West Clare holiday, 10 mins to Lahinch and the Cliff's, 20 minutes to Kilkee and the Loop Head trail. We had a couple of minor issue's and Finbarr arrived and sorted them out within the hour! We will be back and we'd highly recommend this cottage - absolutely five star space and service. We rent in West Clare usually about three times a year and I think we've found our home from home...

- Pat, February 2019
Andrew October 2018

“This is a great holiday rental.”

- Andrew, October 2018
Sandra June 2018

“An excellent cottage, definitely a four star property, it always has more than what we need.”

Harry June 2018

“Bluebell Cottage is amazing!”

We had a pleasant surprise after a long drive from the ferry port across Ireland. The owners were there to greet us with freshly made scones and jam which were very much appreciated, what a welcoming touch! The picture on the website doesn't do it justice, as round the back there's a beautiful large extension finished to perfection, with tiled floor throughout. It is a light and airy space with a comfortable lounge area and a roomy kitchen / dining area tastefully done out. .....actually we wanted to live there!! Lots of interesting little decorations around and a lovely garden at the back. Bedrooms all good and spotlessly clean. We visited Ireland for a wedding and this was the icing on the wedding cake for us...Many thanks.

- Harry, June 2018

“Having had bad experiences with cottages booked in the past (not via Sykes) I was infact very dubious about booking another cottage.”

However Bluebell Cottage was more than one could expect. The cottage was stocked and supplied to a very high standard, internal finishes and cleanliness were excellent. The owner provided a welcome pack on arrival and gave a thorough handover. I would definately book this cottage again.

The property

This detached cottage sits on the edge of Spanish Point, a seaside village popular with visitors to the gorgeous coastline of County Clare.

Offering a winning combination of original features, such as flagstone flooring and an open fire, and a bight welcoming feel, this cottage is ideal for a family or friends looking to spend time near this famously beautiful coastline.

The cottage suits visitors for both summer and winter holidays, with an open fire in one sitting room, a woodburner in the other and a Kensington range in the kitchen, and a sunny patio area and lawned garden for summer guests.

Large windows let the light flood into the more modern part, with the traditional part offering a cosy feel.

Head to the Cliffs of Moher to take in this natural spectacle, or to Lahinch to try surfing, or to Doolin, to enjoy traditional Irish music with a pint of Guiness.

A very welcoming cottage for all seasons.

About the location

SPANISH POINT, COUNTY CLARE

Miltown Malbay 1.5 miles; Ennis 20 miles.

The village of Spanish Point is situated on the west coast of County Clare in Ireland and takes its name from the Spanish who died there in 1588, when many ships of the Spanish Armada were wrecked during the stormy weather. Today the village consists of many holiday homes, two fine hotels, a lovely beach, which is popular for swimmers and surfers alike, and a nine-hole golf course, which is one of the oldest courses in Ireland and offers wonderful views of the rugged coastline. The small town of Miltown Malbay is 1.5 miles away, offering a selection of shops and pubs, while the seaside town of Lahinch is also close by, offering great surfing opportunities. Visit the Cliffs of Moher, north of Lahinch and also Doolin, which offer superb views of the North Atlantic and the Aran Islands in clear weather, or travel further afield to Clare's County town of Ennis, which boasts unusual shops, bars, restaurants and a lively Irish music scene.

Please Note: This property will only accept check in days on a Saturday.
