    A tranquil spot to escape to but near a village for shops, music, a beach & FUN
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Studio with Garden View
    • Stayed 1 night

    As mentioned above - under the bed could have done with a hoover. But I mention this in the context of the overall experience which was really great. I could also go on about the view, the peace and quiet of the place, my delight at seeing a lovely white duck run by the window, watching a robin etc etc. I think it was value for money and the hosts were 10/10 for friendliness. The next day I woke (having travelled all the way from Scotland) and I felt so well rested and ready for the rest of my trip - it was great

    The place was lovely, great location (ESPECIALLY FOR TRAD MUSIC) and a great host. It said it did not provide breakfast but there was lovely fresh soda bread, jam and milk (after a long journey that was much appreciated). I enjoyed speaking to the owner and her daughter. When entering the place (and after their had been a LOT of rain) I would mention that it smelt slightly damp. But there was an excellent heater (so much so that I actually took the name of it) and really in minutes the place was as warm as toast and very, very comfortable. In the night the fitted sheet came off the bed and reattaching that corner I had to lift the mattress which showed me that under the bed was not as clean as everywhere else was. But, would I stay there again? Yes!

    It is a lovely private location, we met Steven on arrival and he was so nice, chatty , and friendly. There was a fresh brown local bread with lovely jam again locally made , followed by locally sourced fresh milk.

    The second bed is more meant for just one person or two "not too big and not heavy" adults!

    Calm and quite place! Clean room and 1 very comfortable double bed! Very gentle host providing even bread marmalade coffee for a quick breakfast! Suggested!

    Loved the pod. Disappointed with the location & lack of maintenance surrounding the pod.

    The location of the pod is in, what feels like to be, the middle of nowhere beside a private residential house. In reality is approximately 15-20mins drive from Milltownmalbay & Lahinch is a 30min drive approx down very narrow country roads. The grounds surrounding the pod were in unkept condition with a rough gravel entrance, uncut grass & and an abundance of weeds. Even under the dome (designed as a sheltered place to sit out in) had overgrown grass & quite mature looking weeds. Bushes surrounding the property were overgrown too which blocked whatever view that existed beyond them.

    The Rainbow Pod is very comfortable & clean. It came supplied with a kettle, microwave, tea, coffee, milk & a delicious brown bread (+ butter & jam). Overall, it’s a delightful & very cosy & peaceful place to stay in.

    Didnt like the shower & toilet in one. I know space was tight but i didnt want to have a shower as the floor would have been all wet & it be horrible going in after to use the toilet

    Location was lovely though I would have preferred if the hedges were cut down a bit to be able to enjoy the fabulous view of the sea. We could just about see the sun setting Host left beautiful brown bread butter & jam as well as milk in the fridge

    The only down side was the pod is pet friendly, ( which was grand, but the few ducks roaming around meant you couldn’t let dogs out for a wee or leave pod door open all day. But hey we just had to get up very early and bring dogs to beach (ducks and owners two dogs out and a o bout all day which is grand once even the dogs get along?… we had three small dogs with us so that was an issue to begin with) but enjoyed the pod thoroughly… very friendly and helpful owner too!!!…

    We had a car so we were fine but would be difficult to stay here without one.

    Adorable, well equipped little pod situated in a beautiful, remote area of county clare. Wonderful hosts. Very welcoming. Great adventure for children.

    The area around the pod outside lacked a bit of TLC. I'm sure in its prime it was a beautiful outdoor area.

    Pod was spotless. Beautiful fresh bread, jam and fresh milk awaited us on our arrival. Pod was lovely and warm as we entered after a rough and wet boat ride. Bed was comfortable. Our kids absolutely loved the whole experience. Hot water available at all times. Fluffy fresh towels available. Ducks and dogs roam around freely much to our small peoples delight
