Great location for the Flaggy Shore and Linane's Lobster bar and a perfecdt size for our party of 3 families. The interior could do with some refreshment as it seems to be the same as when we were at the property nearly 30 years ago! There was also a smell of damp in one of the downstairs bedrooms but the family was ok with it for a week.
Bayfield House is great in every way, especially for a large group
This was a 3-generation family gathering, so 10 adults (20-70), 2 teens, and 3 children (11, 9, 3). There are two excellent gathering spaces, one big enough to accommodate all 15 comfortably when necessary--and we squeezed 15 around the table for some meals--and a smaller room with a large TV, which we designated as the devices room in order to keep the larger room device-free. Communication with the owner was quick and always helpful. We slept comfortably. The grounds are beautiful and spacious, accommodating a few family football matches; the Flaggy Shore is a short walk away and endlessly fascinating, leading on to a scenic one-lane coast road great for walking. While we used Bayfield House as our base for exploring the greater Burren area, down to Ennis, across to Miltown Malbay, and up to Doolin and Ballvaughan, really you wouldn't need to do much more than wander the little peninsula west of New Quay to have a rich and relaxing holiday. And it starts with Bayfield House.
Bayfield House is located on the beautiful Flaggy Shore, in the heart of the magnificent Burren - perfect for daily walks and hikes. The house is warm and welcoming, with lots of space for our party of 14 - adults and teenagers. We could all gather together comfortably in the large living and dining room, and those who wanted a quiet reading or chatting space also found many a cosy corner. Special touches include the wood-burning stove in the living room, the reading room on the first-floor landing, and the Christmas tree and lights provided by our host on request. We will definitely be back!
We spent a lovely week over Xmas at Bayfield House. Beautiful location and property with lots to see and do within an hourâs drive. The owner was always quick to respond before and during the stay, and very helpful with suggestions for activities, restaurants etc. He went above and beyond to proved a Xmas tree with lights to help us celebrate the holiday. I highly recommend Bayfield House for any large group looking to enjoy Clare and Galway.
Everything was clean and neat, it was a wonderful home to stay in. The area is absolutely beautiful!
Max was very helpful and his website was very helpful.
I cannot overstate how amazing Bayfield house is. Our multi-generational family was perfectly at home in the generous layout of the house. The annex provided a quiet and separate space for our children to have fun while the adults relaxed in the great room. Every room was appointed nicely, and the en suite bathrooms were wonderful. Everything in the kitchen is labeled well which was helpful while moving about. The outside space is just phenomenal. The yard is perfectly maintained, and I cannot describe the sense of peace that surrounds you while sitting outside. It is perfectly situated- there is a darling gallery/coffee/wine shop at the end of the road, and the Galway Bay beach is just a few yards away. Kinvara, Ballyvaughan, the Cliffs of Moher, and Doolin, with all they have to offer, are all within a 45 minute drive. The owner, Maxx, was incredibly kind and helpful and answered any questions we had very promptly. I cannot overstate what a wonderful holiday we had. Thank you, Bayfield House!
Ein unvergleichlicher Blick auf die Bucht von Galway und den Burren-Nationalpark war nur eines der Highlights unseres Aufenthalts! Die RĂ€umlichkeiten sind sauber und groĂzĂŒgig geschnitten, einfach ein Juwel. Die Vermieter sind ĂŒberaus freundlich und zuvorkommend. In dieser atemberaubenden Gegend konnten wir vollkommen entspannen und die Zeit genieĂen. Absolut empfehlenswert!
We very much enjoyed our stay at the Bayfield house - it is nice and comfortable for a party of 12 to 14. Some things would require mending (lights in the bathrooms!) and at peak times the water pressure was so low that the bedrooms upstairs had no water, but with some practice we all managed to have a shower. The area is great with many sightseeing and activity options, besides the beaches!
Bay field House was amazing. It was welcoming and comfortable for all 15 family members. Each bedroom and bath en suite was clean and cozy. The family room was huge with plenty of seating. A large farmhouse table sat almost all of us.
Loved the little reading nook on the second floor with fabulous views. The grounds were lovely and we had family pics taken on the grounds.
Short walk to the bay, Linanneâs restaurant and a relaxing stroll on the roads. Kinverra is 15 minutes away for market shopping. Thank you for sharing your wonderful home with us. Highly recommend. The Sawyer Family
We were joined by the larger family for an afternoon and the house was a huge hit. The children loved the spacious garden and we all enjoyed the hidden patio where could all sit around the stone table and chat in the evening sun.
Loved our stay at Bayfield House.
Quiet, beautiful and comfortable.
Perfect location, loved the view, and the cows.
Couldn't have asked for more!
Thank you Max and Carmel for your help.
The property is surrounded by farms, and just minutes from the water. There is a huge backyard with a bbq, and large seating area. The family room also has lots of seating plus a table that could easily seat 14-15. The bedrooms are all big and ensuite.
Max, the owner is great. He responds within an hour, and reached out several times before and during our stay to make sure all is well.
We needed help a couple of times while staying there and the caretaker, Mike, responded immediately and came over within 10 minutes. Four generations of my family stayed here comfortably for 4 nights.
Our family loved our stay at Bayfield House and would highly recommend this property. The house was excellent for our needs. We especially enjoyed Floggy Shores and the Russell Gallery. My grandsons really loved seeing the neighboring cows. Sitting in the backyard was so relaxing. We had to contact Max a couple of times and he always responded quickly.
We just loved the property so much. Great access to the beach and the Flaggy Shore, and convenient to have Linnane's Restaurant so close by. The Great room was very roomy and had great seating and a long dining table; we used it every night. The kids frolicked in the garden every day. Highly recommended and we would visit again.
This was my third stay at the Bayfield House! My wife and I love it there. New Quay and the Flaggy Shore are so peaceful and relaxing and the house is so comfortable and accommodating. The location is great, with easy access to, among other things, the Burren, the Cliffs of Moher, and Galway. In addition, the owner, Max Kenna is so responsive and helpful!
We plan to return!
We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Bayfield House. Location was great. Plenty of space for extended family of 13. Beautiful surroundings---Galway Bay, The Burren, cow and sheep pastures, old ruins, all in view.
We had a really great stay in a brilliant setting. The house & garden were huge and perfect for two families with six young children.
Linnanes, The Russell Gallery and the Flaggy Shore all within a 5mins walk.
We had a wonderful stay. Such a lovely house and location. Highly recommend
So much to do. Fab garden for playing all sorta of family games and BBQ. Lovely neighbours (the cows đ) which is lovely. A short walk to lovely quiet flaggy beach and the lovely Russell art gallery for a lovely morning coffee. All thr bedrooms sooo cosy, nice warm showera after a day travelling the burren. Lovely cycles from house so great to bring bike and safe for kida to cycle near flaggy beach. All and all fabulous location and house
We had such a great time in Bayfield! You have a really beautiful house and we cannot wait to come again. It was such a great setting to reunite with friends and spend some relaxed time with our kids. They loved running around in the big garden :) Max is a great accommodating host. Would highly recommend
We were a mixed group of adults and teens and had the best holiday in New Quay! We thought the house was fantastic. It is really comfortable and equipped to a really high standard. The large garden is lovely with a great outside dining area. With the lovely Flaggy Beach down the road and loads to do in the area...... Brilliant.
