We stayed at Slieve Elva for the past three days - and it was fantastic. The rooms are exceptionally clean and the lovely Gerry and Aoife took time to talk to us, to give fabulous tips and advice and really made us feel at home. We highly recommend this fantastic B&B - situated inbetween Lisdoonvarna and Ballyvaughan, and very convenient... More

This is a nice B & B with a lot of nice touches. Aoife was very nice and friendly, however her husband, Jerry, was not. He was cursing in front of our kids just because they were making some noise. What a shame that was to ruin a nice place and holiday.

It feels like miles from anywhere but it is only 2km from the many pubs and restaurants of Lisdoonvarna. Not only is it beautifully placed to explore the Burren and the lovely Clare coast but you would have to go far to find a warmer welcome. What really stood out for me was the unquenchable enthusiasm Gerry and Aoife have... More

Gerry and Aoife are both wonderfully friendly and welcoming. The farmhouse is lovely, and makes a great B&B. The guest lounge with turf fire was cosy and warm, and the reference library was superb - better than anywhere else on this trip. It was so helpful to be able to identify wildflowers we had seen, and to learn about the... More

Our family of 5 stayed with Gerry and Aoife for the first two nights of our 10 day trip thru Ireland and we couldn't have been made more welcome , comfortable or well-fed. An "Irish breakfast" with Gerry is superb and his gracious wife willingly helped make our visit a wonderful starting point by helping in any way needed. This... More

This B&B was a great spot to travel to the Cliffs of Moher, Aran Islands or Bunratty Castle. The Burren is very close and there are quaint small towns all around to explore. The hosts were warm and friendly and made you feel at home. Our room was nice size for our family of 4 which we found not so... More

We stayed with Gerry and Aoife for one night, after a long drive from Dingle. They made us feel so welcome in their home, recommended places in Doolin to eat and listen to music, and arranged our ferry from Doolin to the Aran Islands for the next day. Gerry makes an incredible Irish breakfast, including delicious eggs from his free-range... More

Hallo everybody, I hope my review will be useful for somebody. I have made the reservation in this B&B and already received confirmation. But one week later the hosts sent me e-mail that they cancel my booking because they have a big group this time. So actually they cancelled the confirmed booking. Be careful while making booking with this house.... More

They have donkeys, ponies, 2 mad dogs, and chickens that lay the most wonderful eggs I've had in a long time. Gerry and Aoife (sp?) are your hosts and they are the most delightful couple I've met in ages. Rooms are comfortable, the location in the Burren is superb. Gerry has recommendations for everything and put us on to some... More
