Reviews of Orchard House
"We had an extended family group in for a week in late November of 2016. I have never stayed in a better designed vacation home. Our groups general consensus was they hit every note perfectly. Plenty of room, tons of space in the private and general spaces. Wonderfully appointed with everything we needed for our stay and much we never needed. The kitchen was large enough for us to congregate and yet still get breakfast or dinner ready, the dinning room held us all. The sleeping accomidations we perfect for our group and the grounds fantastic."

"Orchard House exceeded all expectations. The size and layout of the house was perfect for our extended family. The House was perfectly located near the lovely town of Ballyvaughan and there are numerous activities, hikes and destinations within a short drive from Ballyvaughan. The house was in excellent condition, was furnished beautifully, was comfortable and in a scenic location. We could not have been happier with our accommodation at Orchard House and highly recommend this home to anyone."

"We had a fantastic holiday in Orchard House. The house, setting and hospitality of the owners was exceptional. We were a party of 13, ranging in age from 73 to a year and a half. The house is spacious and the sound proofing brilliant - important when you have three children under two and a half. The chickens in the garden and cows going for milking each day really added to the experience."

"A beautiful property with a fantastic garden and a lovely view. As a party of 13 we had all the space we could wish for. The house had everything we needed and was spotlessly clean. Ballyvaughan was a lovely little town with a beautiful beach a short drive away. Would definitely recommend this cottage."

"We had the most amazing time in Orchard House. We were returning to Ireland for Christmas so rented this massive house so that all our family could come visit and stay comfortably. My favourite things: The house is really well-laid out. ALL the rooms have en-suites so there were no arguments over who got the best. The kitchen is a joy to cook in, loads of space, really well stocked (they even provided a mixer and baking equipment on request) and the ever changing view of the Burren from the big windows make it a really attractive room to hang out in. Although very big, the house was easily heated. Very short stroll in to town. Beautifully decorated and the owners were so welcoming. Highly recommend this house, might even go back ourselves next year!! perfect for a big family gathering or special occasion. "
