“The booking process, information, and cottage were superb.”

The cottage was immaculately presented and the owner gave us a warm, friendly, yet unobtrusive welcome.

“We always enjoy our stay at the sycamore Bernie the owner is a very nice lady ...”

We always enjoy our stay at the sycamore Bernie the owner is a very nice lady greets us on our arrival and leaves us a lovely starter pack and comes around specially to see if everything is ok and takes time to talk with us before we leave thank you

- Mr Holmes, September 2019
“The cottage is cosy and warm and the owners are very friendly and helpful.”

The location of this property is great as you can easily do day trips to places in Co. Clare, Galway and Mayo. Places as far apart as the Cliffs of Moher and Crough Patrick are within reach and it‘s also easy to go to the Aran Islands from Sycamore Cottage. There are many lovely walks in the area around Ballinderreen and the cottage is also less than an hour away from Fanore Beach, one of the most beautiful beaches we‘ve ever seen. We‘d love to return sometime.

- Mr Will, July 2019
“Very quiet spot so close to the water.”

It was a good base-point for our trips in county Galway/Clare. Lovely owner of the property, Bernie, gave us privacy but was there if needed.

- Ms Mcconnachie, June 2019

- Mrs Altenbach-buelles, March 2019

Bernie was friendly and helpful and provided us with the necessities in all rooms. She really went above all expectations. We had a fantastic relaxing stay and plan to return in the future!

- Miss Stewart, February 2019

Berni was a lovely host and respected our privacy. Would recommend to any one who wished an idyllic and quiet retreat on the west coast of Ireland.

- Mr Beveridge, January 2019
“Quiet, secluded oasis of peace.”

- Mr Raftery, December 2018
“This is our third in a row Christmas spent in Sycamore Cottage.”

So what more can I say! It was as delightful as ever and Bernie left us starters as usual.. We loved seeing her again with Sam and Buddy, her two sheep dogs. The cottage is excellently equipped, warm and cozy. Thank you Bernie for another delightful and happy Christmas from Henry, Shirley and Trixie.

- Mrs Nicholson, December 2018

Thank you!

- Mrs Siebrasse, September 2018
“Cottage was beautiful and as described; however, communication from Sykes Cottages was above and beyond expectations: timely, by post, and informative.”

Arrival instructions were particularly good. We found this an excellent company to book with and appreciated your high-quality communication by letter.

- Dr Cattell, August 2018
“Well equipped cottage in lovely rural/coastal setting but with facilities nearby.”

Owner friendly and helpful but unobtrusive. Ideal for the holiday we wanted

- Mr Evans, July 2018
“The location of this cottage was a stone throw away from the harbour.”

The cottage was perfect for 2 young girls under 5 they didn't want to go home. Bernie was a perfect hostess and I hope we will cross paths again in the next couple of years.

- Mrs Walker, July 2018
“Etwas abgelegen im Dorf Ballinderreen, aber für uns perfekt.”

Wir lieben die Ruhe und Natur. Auto unbedingt erforderlich. Großzügige Räumlichkeit. Küche könnte etwas besser ausgestattet sein. Wir waren nur zu zweit, aber das Geschirr ging schnell aus. Tolle Möglichkeit zum abends draußen sitzen, neben einer Pferdekoppel. Zwei völlig ruhige und brave Hunde im Nebenhaus (Haus der Besitzerin). Sehr freundliche Gastgeberin, sehr aufmerksamer Empfang (mit Milch im Kühlschrank und frischem Gebäck für dem Kaffee nach der Ankunft). Genügend Handtücher etc. Auch Infomaterial über die Region vorhanden. Im Ort eine Tankstelle und ein Pub. An der Tankstelle gibt es eine Einkaufsmöglichkeit, erstaunlich gutes Sortiment. Leider keine Grillmöglichkeit. Wir waren bei den kürzlichen Rekord-Temperaturen dort, da wäre abends ein Grill toll gewesen.

- Mrs Schoch, June 2018
“What a beautiful comfy cottage, in such a picturesque area!”

Mrs Larkin was the perfect hostess and we had a perfect holiday. Just a short drive to Kinvara which is very pretty, we can recommend the Pier Head restaurant , excellent food and service. Happy memories.

- Mrs Turner, June 2018
“Totally complet houshold with all Details for daily living, all as described, very friendly landlords, very recommendable cottage in a beautiful region worth for many excursions.”

- Sauter, June 2018
“Everything about the cottage was perfect, our whole group felt extremely at home throughout the whole weekend, it was perfect.”

Also, the owner of the cottage went above and beyond to make sure we were happy and could do everything we wanted to.

- Miss Fogerty, May 2018
“Cottage spacieux, lumineux et confortable.”

Seul bémolsur les photos on ne voit pas qu'il y a un seuil assez haut (PMR)

- Mrs Leblond, April 2018
“The location is very quiet and secluded - a perfect base for day-trips to places like Galway city, the Burren, Ailwee caves and Cliffs of Moher.”

Decent wifi and Netflix installed on the TV was a bonus. The cottage is well-built and insulated so held its heat well through the cold snap evenings.

- Mr Mcbride, March 2018
“This is our second Christmas spent in Sycamore Cottage.”

Once again it met all our expectations and we had a wonderful relaxing week. l Bernie, the owner, is extremely helpful and the cottage was well equipped with everything we needed.
