If you've always wanted to stay in an Irish Cottage on a cliff above the sea but still wanted modern amenities, One Upon A Tide is the place for you! A stone house with incredible views of the Atlantic and the bay, it boasts five bedrooms, 4 1/2 baths, three sitting rooms and a modern kitchen. Though you live in luxury, sitting on the porch or sitting rooms, you can imagine what the area was like centuries ago. We even had a wandering sheep and a pheasant come to call. The only regret I have about booking Once Upon A Tide is that we couldn't stay longer!

A perfect home to travel the west

The views were so incredible in all of the front rooms. The location was perfect for our adventures on the west coast of Ireland. I also LOVED the guide that was sent as it had ideas and suggestions I hadn’t considered.
