Magical stay
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!

We had such a good time in Kinvara. We were steps away from wonderful live music by extremely talented musicians. It really was a wonderful experience.

Kinvara stay
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.

Quirky accommodation, great location.
Suited our needs very well for 2 couples. Great location for exploring Co Galway & Co Clare, and good selection of local pubs and restaurants within walking distance. Excellent Friday market in Kinvara. Communication from Tony (and Bernie on arrival) was excellent.

Outstanding!
Tucked into side street in the beautiful village of Kinvara, Artists Cove offers comfortable and cozy accommodations in a great location. You’re literally steps away from shopping, great food and local colour. Bernie was on hand to check us in and offer advice and details and we even had the chance to meet Tony as well. The beds are comfortable, the WiFi and TV work well and there was always plenty of hot water for showers and laundry. A splendid time was indeed had by all. Highly recommend!

Excellent home away from home!
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!

Great location in a small town
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.
