About Milltown Malbay
Milltown Malbay is a popular holiday destination and small town in West Clare. The town is well-known for its singers, musicians, and dancers. Willie Clancy was a famous Irish uilleann piper, flute player, and whistle player and in July each year the festival ‘Scoil Samhraidh Willie Clancy’ is held in celebration of the music and tradition of Clancy. You can visit the West Clare Music Makers’ Visitor Centre to learn about the story of traditional music, song, and dance, the center is open each day from May to September. The pubs in town provide a wide variety of entertainment with traditional music and delicious food served daily.
White Strand Milltown Malbay is a small sandy beach with a rocky shoreline but it has been awarded the prestigious Blue Flag award on several occasions. This means that there are all the facilities you would need including lifeguard cover during the summer months.
Spanish Point is a village in the parish of Milltown Malbay and is also one of the better surf breaks in County Clare. Spanish Point is located 3 km west of Milltown Malbay, with a beautiful sandy beach and golf course, Spanish Point Golf Club. It’s so named because of the Spaniards who were buried here after the wreck of their Armada ships along the coast in 1588. One of the ships was wrecked on the reefs landward of Mutton Island (3km/2 miles) offshore. More than a thousand men were lost, and many of their bodies were carried by the tide to Spanish Point.
Today, you can hire a currach in the fishing village of Quilty and visit the site of the wreck. Milltown Malbay is the perfect base from which you can explore the stunning coastline of West Clare, The Burren, and the famous Cliffs of Moher – to name but a few. It is a destination brimming with activities, attractions, culture, and excellent food.

Ventry Farm Parlour Cottage
Ventry, Co Kerry
"Authentic cottage with simple and adorable accommodations. Walked to the beach and local pub daily. Far enough out of the bustle of Dingle, but close enough to enjoy all it has to offer and at the peak point of the Slea Head loop. Gracious and cheerful hospitality from our hostess!"

Castlemartyr Holiday Lodges
Castlemartyr, Co Cork
"Fantastic, modern designer house. Luxury homes in a luxurious setting, just 20 minutes from Cork. For longer stays of a week or more, it is economical. A house very different from the typical ones in Ireland, which are often quite similar."

Dingle Harbour Cottages
Dingle, County Kerry
"I can’t say enough about our stay at the Dingle Harbour Cottages. First, the cottages are clean and well equipped. The location is perfect. But the customer service was/is spectacular! My son hid his passport while we were there. Deirdre, the property manager, was able to locate it and arranged to have it delivered to us before we had to leave Ireland. Dingle Harbour Cottages have a customer for life."

Heyward Mews
Swords, Co Dublin
"The property has an excellent location with close proximity to the M50, the airport, and shopping areas, yet it is surrounded by nature and golf courses. The manager, Mr. Mark Hurley, is very helpful and knowledgeable. He made sure our stay was comfortable and was always reachable if needed. The property is well managed and clean. Thanks to the cleaning staff for preparing it for our stay. We would love to stay here again in the future. Kindly maintain the good standards!"

Ballybunion Holiday Cottage No 21
Ballybunion, Co Kerry
"House was very clean, with two recently renovated bathrooms, both with electric showers and wall heaters. Beds were very comfortable. Wifi and a smart TV in the sitting room were brilliant for the showery days. The orientation of the house meant sunshine filled the kitchen and sitting room throughout the day, keeping it warm. There were heaters in the rooms, but we did not need to use them. Lovely walk up and down to the beach every day. Would happily stay here again!"
