With our taxi booking service, you can find out the best rates and routes so you can arrange a cab that’s just right for you. Just grab your luggage, meet your driver, and go. No hassles.
When booking a Premium or Business Class airport transfer you will get a reliable pick-up. This short overview describes the most important service elements. How and where will I find the taxi driver? Can I get an appropriate child seat? Is it really the taxi van I ordered? What happens if my flight arrives with a delay? How does the payment and invoicing work?
Based on your flight data the driver will check your arrival time and anticipate you with a name sign at the airport. Simply enter the scheduled flight arrival time as transfer start time of the booking form.
Your driver will await you after the luggage claim area or at an airport "meeting point". The contact info of the taxi company will be sent together with the order confirmation ("ride dispatched").
For Premium or Business Class airport transfers extra seats for children older than one year of age can be booked at no extra fee. Please specify your exact requirements in the comment field when ordering.

Located 22 km outside of Leipzig itself, airport transfers from Leipzig Airport will take approximately 30 minutes when traveling to Leipzig itself. Travelers to the neighboring Saxony city of Halle, on the other hand, should expect an airport shuttle to take up to 40 minutes due to the increased distance.
In either case, an airport shuttle is usually the first choice of airport transportation for many new arrivals. This is due to the fact that local trains and buses will take in excess of an hour to reach central destinations in either city. Also, when traveling from Halle or Leipzig to the airport, train travelers themselves should be prepared to wait up to 1-hour between departures.
At Better Taxi, we know that new arrivals are in search of as fast and efficient airport transfers from Leipzig as possible. This is why our shuttle service operates 24/7. In like regard, our airport shuttle can get you everywhere from your hotel to the Monument to the Battle of the Nations, in less than half the time required by any and all public transport providers.
BetterTaxi taxi quotes were created to fit your travel needs whether you’re heading to your hotel or back to Leipzig Halle airport for departure. Just give us your pick up or drop off destinations, arrival times, and flight numbers, and we’ll compare Leipzig Halle airport transfers across the entire Germany. Let us know how many passengers, the amount of luggage, and the type of travel you’re doing so we can match you with the perfect vehicle for your needs. Whether you need a comfortable and spacious car for business travel, or an added child seat for a family holiday, we can provide it.
At BetterTaxi, we understand that travel isn’t always fun. That’s why we go out of our way to make things simple, easy, and smooth. We take all the guesswork out of booking Leipzig Halle airport transfers so you have one less step to worry about.

Hotel Revolution: 21st Century Hotel Design (Interior Angles)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
References to this work on external resources.
Wikipedia in English
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0470016809, Hardcover)For the first time, Hotel Revolution draws together the new concepts of luxury that are central to 21st-century life, highlighting radical, exciting and exquisite designs that leave the now diluted concept of the boutique hotel in their wake. Hotel design has reached a new peak of innovation in recent years, providing a prism for our understanding of culture, style and desire. Using beautiful photographs, Howard Watson reassesses the diversity of hotel design in the wake of the rise of the boutique hotel, exploring new projects from many of the world’s greatest designers and architects.
The cultural importance of hotel design has never been greater, becoming the mirror to our aspirations and the fulcrum for innovation in architecture and design. With a blossoming interest in eco-resorts, spas and retreats, we now see hotels as both the leaders of style and as the antidote to the negative aspects of modern life.
Karim Rashid, Marcel Wanders, Antonio Citterio, Philippe Starck, Matteo Thun, Norman Foster, Zaha Hadid, David Chipperfield, GRAFT and many other inspirational designers have taken on the challenge. They have created gorgeous hotels that shock and delight. From converted boulangeries and convents to micro hotels to country retreats and eastern spas, the designers have delivered…with style.
Featured hotels include:
Hotel Puerta América, Madrid
Hotel on Rivington, New York
Virgilius Mountain Resort, South Tyrol
Lute Suites, Ouderkerk
North Island, Seychelles
Bulgari Hotel, Milan
Faena Hotel + Universe, Buenos Aires

Simon's cottage is just a few short steps from the main street in Penryn with pubs, restaurants and shops. The fish and chip shop is really close and really very good. The cottage has a lovely bedroom and sofa bed in the living room so 4 can easily stay. In our case our son slept on the sofa bed, he was happy with this as there's a big TV on the wall and am X-Box too! The kitchen is well equipped and there's also a pretty secure garden that we could let our dogs enjoy. Fabulous place, I think we will be back.
right in the center of Penryn, convenient car park close by, very well appointed with good quality everything !
lovely place to stay if visiting the locality.
A lovely house to base from for the weekend. It had all we needed, the little welcome pack left was very thoughtful too. The house was really well furnished with lots of quirky decor, which we love ! Simon was very accommodating and helpful. The only slight downside is the bath could use a new shower curtain. But it's a minor detail !
We stayed at this enchanting property for 3 nights and what a delight it was! Very comfy bed, a lovely welcome pack and very good service/communication from Simon.
It was a great base to explore Cornwall from and the perfect place to come home to everyday.
You will not be disappointed if you stayed here :)

High prices make the Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca and Medina less than affordable for the masses.
By DAVID E. MILLER/THE MEDIA LINE
A steep rise in Hajj pilgrimage package prices is making the ritual trip to Saudi Arabia’s holy cities of Mecca and Medina less affordable for the Muslim masses.The Hajj pilgrimage is expected to begin on November 14, lasting four days.RELATED:Child beggars not welcome in Saudi ArabiaSaudi Arabia to re-educate its clerics against extremismLast year’s swine flu pandemic, as well as restrictions imposed on pilgrims by Saudi authorities and other countries, had decreased demand causing a drop in hotel prices, the UAE daily The National reported. Some 1.6 million foreign pilgrims arrived in Saudi Arabia for the Hajj last year, down from over 1.7 million the year before.This year, however, demand is back up and so are prices. Some have risen by as much as 50 percent.“Hajj is like any other form of tourism,” ‘Ali ‘Abd Al-Rahman Al-Mazyad, a Riyadh- based economics journalist for A-Sharq Al-Awsat daily, told The Media Line. “You can travel five stars or you can travel two stars. Those who can’t afford the trip simply shouldn’t come.”Al-Mazyad said that modest accommodations in a shared bedroom with four or five beds could cost as little as $15 a night.“Zakat [charity] and Hajj are two commandments in Islam that are entirely dependent on a person’s economic situation,” Al-Mazyad added. “Those who lack the means are exempt.”Al-Mazyad said that during the pilgrimage, private Saudi donors provide free food and drink for needy pilgrims.“You can’t really tell who’s rich and who isn’t, though,” he added.Abu-Fayez, a Ramallah-based owner of a tourist agency organizing Hajj pilgrimages, said that Palestinians must apply to the Ministry of Endowments and enter a raffle to win the travel permit. The Ministry also fixes the price of the travel package, regulating prices.An official at the Palestinian Hajj Authority told The Media Line that the price of the Hajj package was fixed this year by the government at 1,660 Jordanian Dinars ($2,345) for those traveling by land, with airfare costing an additional $620. Last year, the official price stood at 1,380 Jordanian Dinars ($1,945), 21 percent less. “The reason for the price increase is supply and demand of hotel beds in Saudi Arabia,” the official said.Suhail Khadim, a travel agent at Al-Hidaayah, a UK agency based in Birmingham, said that prices actually fell in the UK by around 500 pounds this year, but were still high, with a three-star package costing 3,800 pounds ($6,000) and a five-star package costing 5,000 pounds ($7,860). Khadim said the price reduction was a reaction to last year’s financial crisis and the flu pandemic.“Most people who travel with us are professionals – doctors, lawyers – so they can afford the fare,” he told The Media Line. “Smaller local agencies provide cheaper packages for as little as 2,000 pounds ($3,150), but then you are located further from the Al-Haram mosque, and may have to share a room with 10 people.”UAE news site Emirates 24/7 News predicted a price increase of 15 percent this year due to rising bus fares and hotel prices.Five-star Hajj packages include services such as private jets, gourmet restaurants, and private facilities for women during some of the rituals.

I used to stay in San Francisco when going to the area. Now I stay at Waters Edge in Tiburon. The hotel is in the heart of the town of Tiburon, a beautiful vista across the bay from the city. The staff is OUTSTANDING- every one of them. Their attention is to service- they get the concept of 'hospitality' which so many hotels simply do not. I feel welcomed and comfortable there. And I have the sense that- whatever it may be that you need- they'd get it. The hotel is situated next to a slew of restaurants, shops, and beautiful walking areas. The town itself is very picturesque. I drive into the city each morning for business, and drive back out to get away from it at day's end. And, it's an easy drive. Love this spot. Would highly recommend it if the area works for you.
Situated in the city center, this hotel is close to Tiburon Ferry, Angel Island, and Main Street. Also nearby are Tiburon …More
This small town is wonderful to walk around. The hotel provides great access within walking distance to many restaurants. The staff were wonderful. From check-in to the breakfast everyone was very nice.
Situated in the city center, this inn is close to Throckmorton Theater, Lytton Square, and Old Mill Park. Also nearby are …More
The staff were so incredibly kind. I'm a local and I live on a boat in Sausalito. Due to predictions of the most intense storm in years and the fact I'd fractured my ankle it seemed safer to decamp to a secure place for a couple of nights until the storm had passed. I can't speak more highly about how accommodating, kind and response the staff were at the hotel, including when I needed to stay longer. I will recommend Casa Madrona to all my friends and colleagues - and of course to the online community.
This historic Sausalito hotel sits on hillside overlooking Richardson Bay, across from the Golden Gate Bridge. The ferry to …More
The best thing about Inn Marin is also the worst: it's right off the highway and, it's right off the highway. Darling little cottage-like rooms in a row, beautiful soap, shampoo, etc in nice wall dispensers (much more efficient), unbelievably clean, comfortable beds, WOOD floors!!! An old place that has been gorgeously redone. I wish the pool opened earlier.
Situated near the airport, in Novato, this inn is close to The Space Station Museum, Pacheco Ranch Winery, and Marin Museum …More
This hotel was fantastic. Fab pool and spa. Excellent location being so close to Downtown San Fran and we loved driving across the Golden Gate Bridge every day to get to the city. I didn't know what to expect when booking this hotel due to the star rating but I wanted a kitchen and this was the best deal and I was very pleased I had booked it as it felt were staying in a 4 star. Everything clean. Comfy beds. Good size kitchen facilities. The staff were great too - very helpful. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this hotel to anyone! We stayed with 2 young and very short children (6&4) and they could both touch the floor at one end of the pool which made a massive difference to us being able to relax on the side of the pool whilst they had fun! Other great bit is supermarket/restaurants are a short walk or 2 minute drive. Great for when you are self catering! Very very pleased I booked this hotel :)
Situated in the city center, this hotel is close to Marin Country Mart, Ring Mountain, and Lytton Square. Local attractions …More

by Courtney W. May for Bryant Park Hotel, New York City Situated directly across from New York City's storied Bryant Park, and steps away from the media, fashion, retail and transportation centers of Manhattan, the Bryant Park Hotel's midtown address alone renders it prime accommodations for the business or leisure traveler alike. Get the most out of your trip by reserving their Penthouse Suite (pictured). Make sure you do it when something exciting is happening in Bryant Park or when you can devote some time to park and people watching on your balcony. P.S. The Bryant Park bathroom - the actual Park's bathrooms aren't just outhouses - was awarded the title of "best in America" by Citysearch users in 2002 so make sure you check that out too. Penthouse Suite Details Location: The Bryant Park Hotel is 25 stories tall with only 128 guest rooms. The Penthouse Suite occupies the entire 24th floor with surrounding views of the New York City skyline. Size: 1,100 square feet (better then all of Manhattan's apartments) Rooms: The Penthouse features 1 and a half baths, a dinning area for up to 6 people, living room, bedroom and balcony. The Living Room: Notable aspects of the living room include one of the Suite's two 32" High Definition LCD flat screen televisions and a desk equipped with internet access is available for any business needs. Bathroom: A sleek double-headed shower, as well as an oversized bathtub, provides a luxurious bathing experience plus you can hoard Molton Brown products in your suitcase and keep asking the housekeeping staff and front desk to send you more. Balcony: Accessible through the Bedroom, the balcony provides amazing views which include the lawn of Bryant Park and the Manhattan skyline (make sure you bring binoculars). Note Bene: Through floor-to-ceiling windows, you can enjoy the view of the Empire State Building illuminated at night, all the while immersed in a flower-petal-infused bubble bath with your BOSE Wave Music System and a BOSE SoundDock Digital Music System for Apple iPod playing that hip music kids these days are listening to. Too cheap to get the Penthouse Suite? The Bryant Park Hotel does also have 16 suites, 10 park-view terraces, and a rooftop loft space with 360-degree skyline panoramas. They all have a fresh contemporary decor and signature room appointments that include authentic Tibetan rugs, goose-down duvets, and travertine marble bathrooms, even without shelling out the Penthouse nightly rate. Other New York Suites: Plaza Athenee's Penthouse Suite, "Park Avenue Suite at The Regency in New York City", "The Carlyle Hotel in New York City (Re)Opens The Royal Suite", "The Triplex Penthouse at the Time", and "Suite Escapes: the Mandarin Oriental New York Celebrates its Taipan Suite".

From the city of over-the-top, comes super-plush, themed suites with a serious wow-factor. The Palms resort recently opened an entire floor of individually themed party suites. Who needs typical Vegas glamour (fresh flowers and champagne, 3,000 thread count sheets, Jacuzzi tubs, *yawn*) when you could stay in the Kingpin Suite, which offers full-sized bowling lanes and oodles of plasma TVs along the walls of the 1,370 sq meter space? K-Fed and his posse will no doubt fantasize about the Crib Suite, with its DJ booth, pool table and video gaming lounge (the sleekest hip-hop bachelor pad you'll ever see). The Erotic Suite boasts a rotating bed and mirrored ceiling, and the fur-trimmed Hot Pink Suite is perfect for a girls get-together for pampering and nights out on the town. Viva Las Vegas.
(Of course extravagance like this comes with a price tag. Expect to shell out thousands per night.)

Mr. T. Colm O'Callaghan, General Manager of the Conrad Chicago
The Conrad Chicago, formerly the Le Meridien Chicago, opened in November 2005 and has been continuing to upgrade ever since. Five Star Alliance and The Informed Traveler got in touch with the General Manager, Mr. T Colm O'Callaghan to find out more about his experiences with the new hotel and to learn more about what guests can expect.
Five Star Alliance: How did you come to be General Manager of the hotel?
Mr. O'Callaghan: My family owns a hotel in Ireland which meant I was born into the business; I also attended hotel school, worked for Hilton for 18years. When this position became available I jumped at the opportunity.
Five Star Alliance: Tell us what you feel is the most distinctive or unique feature of your hotel? What best describes the personality of the hotel?
Mr. O'Callaghan: Location, location, location.
Five Star Alliance: Who are your customers and where do they come from?
Mr. O'Callaghan: Our customers are both business and leisure with our feeder markets being Los Angeles, New York, the UK, and Germany.
Five Star Alliance: What is the best thing about the hotel’s location? What is your favorite thing to do in the surrounding area?
Mr. O'Callaghan: We are located in the heart of The Magnificent Mile surrounded by wonderful shopping, great museums, great dining and within walking distance to city favorites as Millennium Park, and Navy Pier. My favorite thing to do is people watch, great people watching right on Michigan Avenue.
Five Star Alliance: Can you share the names of any famous guests who have stayed in the hotel, or perhaps regulars that return on a periodic basis?
Mr. O'Callaghan: I can not speak about specific guests. I will say we do have a loyal client base. Our biggest compliment is our repeat guests.
Five Star Alliance: Which do you consider to be the best rooms in the house? Not just the suites, but also any particular standard rooms that have great views or unusual advantages? If you were checking into a standard room at the hotel, which one would you request?
Mr. O'Callaghan: All of our rooms are fabulous!
Five Star Alliance: Can you mention any interesting miscellaneous trivia regarding the hotel? Perhaps a bit of history? Any special events that have taken place on property?
Mr. O'Callaghan: Designed by Chicago architects Frederick J. Thielbar and John Reed Furgard, this 16-story art deco limestone building is a collaboration between one of the city's leading architectural firms and the sculptors Eugene mad Gwen Lux. Gwen Lux is among America's pioneer women sculptresses; her work can be found at the Rockefeller Center complex in New York City and at the General Motors Technical Center in Detroit designed by architect Eero Saarinen. The McGraw-Hill Building served as the Midwestern offices of the McGraw-Hill Publishing Company, among the largest trade paper and book publishers in the country.
Five Star Alliance: If you were considering staying at the hotel as a guest, what would you want to know about the hotel before checking in?
Mr. O'Callaghan: The location of the hotel, and the warmth and friendliness of its staff.
Five Star Alliance: What is the hardest part about being General Manager? If you could change one thing about the hotel, what would that be?
Mr. O'Callaghan: The hardest part is the administrative aspect of the job it prevents me from interacting with the guests and staff as much as I would like.
Five Star Alliance: Other than your own, can you share your choices of two or three of what you consider to be the greatest hotels in the world? And why you think they are special?
1. Sheen Falls – Kenmare, Ireland – ideal setting
2. Evans Hideaway Resort – Huahin, Thailand – love private villas, infinity pools and enclosed walls.
3. Conrad Tokyo – New standard for the International Conrad, great urban hotel.
Five Star Alliance:Anything else you would like our readers to know about you’re your property?

As summer beach season gets underway it's natural to ponder all the amazing creatures that inhabit the oceans. In November 2005, Atlanta opened the doors to the world's largest aquarium, offering a chance to see an amazing array of ocean inhabitants without the scuba gear. Home to over 120,000 aquatic creatures living in over 8 million gallons of water, the massive 200 million dollar aquarium boasts five areas each representing a different ecosystem. The largest exhibit is the Ocean Voyager, which begins with a ride down a curving moving walkway through an acrylic tunnel where stingrays, sharks, and many schools of brightly colored fish appear to fly overhead. The tunnel leads to the main theater, which has a gigantic viewing window.
The aquarium has exceeded all attendance expectations and purchasing time-reserved tickets online is highly recommended. The aquarium is located in Atlanta's Olympic Park near downtown. Both the Four Seasons Atlanta and Ritz Carlton Atlanta are nearby. JavaJive is perhaps the town's hippest brunch spot, offering gingerbread waffles set in an old-style ice cream parlor setting complete with vintage 1950s appliances.
For aquarium lovers, another massive aquarium that will compete in size with Atlanta's is being constructed in The Dubai Mall in Dubai. Other notable aquariums in the U.S. include Shedd Aquarium in Chicago, and the Monterey Bay Aquarium.

Due to the current Covid-19 pandemic, please check local regulations before booking.
“The London EDITION has renovated this beautiful period building and put a modern twist on it. Think Bridgerton meets Charles and Ray Eames.“
EDITION is one of the worlds hottest hotel brands right now, with hotels in major cities such as London, Tokyo and Hollywood. What makes the London EDITION stand out? The beauty of the mix between period and modern design. Staying true to the beauty of this landmark building, EDITION has painstakingly curated an interior that just oozes opulence. Located on the edge of Soho, this hotel is on the doorstep of one of the coolest locations in London. Not that you’ll want to explore when the hotel has so much to offer.
Featuring not one but two bars, EDITION caters for both, those looking for a relaxing drink or a party vibe. The Lobby Bar provides a wide range of options with a relaxing environment, while the Punch Room is more aligned with a traditional London private members club. In the mood for food? The Michelin-starred chef Jason Atherton’s restaurant Berners Tavern offers a traditional English dining experience with a modern twist.Check availability
“It’s like being by the seaside… in the middle of the city! The calmness of the blue and the softness of the natural materials creates a very zen-like atmosphere.”
If you are visiting London for sightseeing, then Inhabit is perfectly located. Situated near Paddington station, it’s an ideal spot for those wanting to leave the car behind. Focusing on a healthy mind and body, Inhabit offers a plant-based menu in their café and a gym that offers yoga classes or even organised running routes for those wanting to explore nearby Hyde Park.

“Full of theatre and eccentric interiors, Blakes Hotel is bound to leave a lasting impression on anyone who passes through the doors.”
As well as one of London’s best hotels, Blakes is also known as the world’s first boutique hotel. It’s clear to see from the eccentric opulence that Blakes really has championed the boutique look over the decades. Situated in Chelsea, Blakes prides itself in bringing unique theatrical designs into its rooms. When not enjoying the unique décor of the rooms, you can relax in the art deco-inspired restaurant or have some fun in London’s Best Kept Secret, Blakes Below, a private club for residents and members alike. If theatrical overstatements are your vibe, then Blakes is a great fit for you.Check availability
“A little piece of the Mediterranean in the centre of London! This hotel is perfect for families who are travelling to the capital.”
If you want to be in the centre of the Soho nighttime vibe then the Soho Hotel is one of the best hotels in Central London to help cater for this. Only 5 minutes’ walk from Oxford Street, the Soho Hotel has all the mod cons you would expect in a luxury hotel but with a Mediterranean twist. As well as a fully equipped gym, beauty room and screening rooms, the Refuel Terrace and Restaurant offers a modern menu surrounded by quirky interiors. The Soho Hotel is one of the best hotels London has to offer for families with plenty of kid-friendly facilities such as Nintendo Wiis in the rooms, a babysitting service and additional toys in the rooms on request.Check availability
“If your idea of a holiday is watching back-to-back Grand Designs, then you will LOVE St Martins Lane! It’s a perfect example of Philippe Starck’s brilliance as a designer.”
Quoted as one of the most beautifully designed hotels in Central London, St Martins Lane London combines your typical British eccentricity with the genius of a world-renowned interior designer. Not only is this hotel beautiful, but it is one of the best-equipped hotels in London. As well as offering three different eateries and bars, the key selling point of this hotel is its gym facilities. An Olympic-sized boxing ring, laser-lit dance studios and free bicycle hire all feature in this stunning location. One not to be missed for the interior enthusiasts or gym bunnies.Check availability
“Seeing the sights isn’t enough for some people, so what about staying in one?!”
While the rest of London’s hotels have to focus on their interiors and aesthetics, the Shangri-La doesn’t have to worry, not when each room has a floor-to-ceiling view across the whole of London. Located in The Shard, one of London’s most renowned buildings, the spectacular views are combined with an oriental twist on each room, so when you aren’t admiring the view (binoculars are available in each room), you can relax in luxury. Being 35 floors up, this hotel is not for the faint-hearted! But if you are made of stern stuff, then why not try one of the restaurants, such as the Sky Lounge, which offers a bottomless Champagne experience!Check availability
“For the traditionalists among us, NoMad respects and honours the heritage of this beautiful building while providing a luxurious environment.”
If you are looking for a traditional stay in London and want to soak up all the history and heritage that goes with the area, then the NoMad is one of the best hotels in Central London to visit. This hotel could easily be confused for a turn-of-the-century Gentlemen’s club with its dark oak panelling and huge sash windows. The hotel has both a restaurant and a smaller “pub-style” bar open all day, while the library is reserved solely for guests after 4 pm for cocktails. Situated near the theatre district and Covent Garden, this is the ideal place to stay for the theatre buffs among us.Check availability
“Love celebrity spotting? Then try out the Treehouse Hotel. You’ll be sure to spot one or two on their way to work at the BBC offices or heading off for a meeting on Bond Street.”
Named such because of its lofty location, the Treehouse Hotel London is where the elite like to unwind. Perfectly situated between Regents and Bond Street, you will find a much more sophisticated vibe to this hotel in Central London. As well as the beautiful views, you’ll also find comforting bedrooms and quirky main spaces.

Kids Stay Free, St. Lucia
There's no such thing as a free lunch. But there is such a thing as a free vacation--at least if you're a kid. Thanks to St. Lucia's new Go Bananas summer family program, luxe resorts like Coco Palm, Cotton Bay Village, and Discovery at Marigot Bay are inviting your offspring to stay, eat, and play for free.
We dig the idea of an island-wide program that goes beyond your average hotel deal to include perks like a special line to speed families through immigration and complimentary excursions such as zip-lining, horseback riding, and whale watching. And since St. Lucia knows who is paying the bill, they throw a little indulgence toward the parentals, including room upgrades and a complimentary night of babysitting. Happy parents, happy kids. We have a new contender for "Happiest Place on Earth."

Villa Astarte has a great location on the Mykonos Island being close to many of the places worth seeing.
The town of Mykonos is extremely picturesque with the cubist style of the white buildings being the main feature recognized by most of the tourists. The blue shutters of the houses are contrasting with the colourful bougainvillea which embellish every balcony. The famous windmills look down to the fishermen who are still mending their nets. Everything seems like a fairy tale in this little paradise.
Elia is the longest sandy beach of the island, 10 km away from the capital. This is a quieter beach with amazing views of the Cycladic houses.
Another place worth a visit is Ano Mera, a traditional settlement with the Cloister and a beautiful church as centre. This village is the most populated on the island and has small tavernas and shops where you can buy local products.

It is a very tastefully furnished three bedroom cottage two of these are en-suite. It has underfloor heating, a state of the art wood burning stove and hot water provided by solar panels and electricity. There is a new patio area laid with local Doolin stone slabs. This would be a perfect location for an artist or author to paint or write the next novel.For outdoor enthusiasts, fishing from the rocks, surfing at Fanore and Lahinch, golfing at the links courses of Lahinch and Doonbeg, caving and rock climbing nearby may whet your appetite. Ballyvaughan, 20 minutes away by car, hosts an art college and restaurants. Northwest Clare boasts many cultural and archaeological sites including the famous Pollnabrone Dolmen. Galway city, an hours drive away, is a vibrant hub of Irish life and arts.
Further details indoors
The master bedroom and twin bedroom each have an en suite bathroom and the double bedroom has direct access to the main bathroom which has a full bath. This is a luxury single storey house with great attention to detail. The open plan living area with its high ceilings is flooded with natural light as there are windows positioned carefully to catch the sun as it moves from,east to west in the sky. There is no wifi or Internet at the house. There is mobile phone signal in the front porch area especially where the small table is situated. We use our phones as wifi hotspots to get internet access, sufficient to collect and send emails when at the house.
Further details outdoors
Pollclabber Cottage, originally a farmhouse with stone outbuildings, is located down a private lane surrounded by farmland. A stream appears through a narrow door-like opening under the small country road and flows down a series of small falls to disappear underground through the limestone. The ancient, hand built limestone walls that form the boundaries of all the fields create a magical view from the cottage. All the new stone walls were built from stone that came from the cottage during restoration.Pollclabber cottage is also advertised with VRBO where there are some other reviews of the house available from other holiday makers should you wish to get some further information.
Location description from owner
The Burren region
Unspoiled natural beauty and a spectacular coastline are not the only assets of County Clare...
The hospitality of its people, the traditions of Irish Music and Dance, colourful small shops and cosy pubs, traditional cottages and houses are just a few of the attributes of this area. A day trip to the Aran Islands is spectacular, watching all the seabirds swooping down and occasionally a pod of dolphins swimming in the boats backwash. Love fishing, then sea fishing from the coastline from Fanore to Ballyvaughan is free and can supply the evening meal, if lucky.
Clare is a county in the West of Ireland once visited you'll never forget. From the momentous sheer cliff face of the Cliffs of Moher to the mystical lunar landscape of the Burren, Clare's natural attractions earn your respect from the moment you set eyes on them. The sunsets out to the west are often spectacular.
In less than two hours one can reach Connemara, Ring of Kerry or Cork from the cottage.
Dublin is approx. three hour drive from Pollclabber cottage.
This part of Ireland has particularly beautiful scenery. The Burren area is world renowned for its beautiful plants and landscape and a great way to visit it is by horseback. It is full of archaeological treasures from stone forts to dolmens and burial chambers dating to the megalithic era.
While in the area you really must visit the Aran Islands for a 'back in time' experience.
There are many walking festivals in the Burren, nightly traditional music sessions in nearly pubs in Doolin. Lisdoonvarna hosts a 'matchmaking' festival every September. Lahinch, Doonbeg and Ballybunion Golf courses are within easy reach for the golfing enthusiasts.

“An enchanting cottage in a captivating location - west of Ireland bliss!”
As we drove over the hill to Pollclabber Cottage, the full horizon unfolded before us - the world was suddenly rid of clutter and in its place lay an unending expanse of rock, sea and sky! It was for just such a view that we had come to the west of Ireland - captivating! And Pollclabber Cottage itself echoed that sentiment entirely. It comprised of an original cottage (to the left in the photo of the house) with a sympathetic new extension. In the original, older part of the cottage (and it is over 150 years old here) the walls are over 3 foot thick so you feel very warm and cosy. The solid fuel stove means that, even if it lashes wind & rain outside, you’re snuggled up and comfi inside. In the new part of the cottage, to the right of the front door, there is a glazed sitting area where you can read or just gaze on the surrounding rural garden. Here you can be at one with the landscape and the elements - they wash over you and refresh you ... without you even getting your feet wet! The gardens themselves must be mentioned because they have been lovingly created and are sympathetic to the surrounding countryside - yet they are also so pretty and refined by comparison. Using the natural stone found in the garden itself, cute little walls provide order and purpose to the whole arrangement but look like they have always been there. The patio at the back of the cottage looks out over Galway Bay – an enchanting view that captures the stillness of the west. The front garden has a beautiful stream and very small waterfall, both of which bubbled forth because of the recent rain but which quietened down within a few hours. This delightful scene can be viewed from the glazed sitting area inside the cottage so is a real & unique feature of this rental. And if all of these attributes were not enough, Pollclabber Cottage is recently renovated, bright, pristine and very well equipped. The owners also holiday here so it contains all the modern conveniences - and everything works! I would whole heartedly recommend a stay in this cottage – because it really is more than just a cottage, it is enchantment!
Our stay here was fantastic! The location is perfect for touring the area and the accommodations are great! Helen is wonderful and most helpful! When I return to Ireland this is my destination! Do not hesitate to book this house for your trip!
“Comfortable, cosy, great facilities and lovely location”
Great information from the owners about the area and things to do. Beautiful cottage, in a lovely location. Excellent facilities and very cosy. Lots to do in the area and lovely places to eat.
“great house in great area”
My family & I stayed here for a week after Christmas & had a wonderful time. The house is located in a beautiful area, right in thecentre of the Burren, with amazing walks, some starting from the front door. The house itself is really large, clean, incredibly warm & very well equipped, the kitchen in particular. The living room is big enough for a table-tennis table and when you get sick of that there are board games, books, dvds & cable tv. The owner is great to deal with, very friendly yet professional. All in all we had a great time & eventhough the sun didn't shine every day we had plenty to do in the house (& in the shed where my son made a bow & arrows!).
“Beautiful house in a great setting”
We spent a lovely few days at Pollclabber Cottage. The pre-arrival arrangement was smooth and helpful. The house feels like a real home (as opposed to a temporary holiday place) and has been done up recently so everything is clean and neatly organised. The kitchen is first class, well equipped and well thought out (things are where they're supposed to be etc.). The open plan kitchen/dining/living area with high ceiling makes the cottage spacious, lots of room for our three small children to roam about. We didn't need to use the fireplace since we were there during the summer but with the high ceiling I imagine it will be needed in cooler time of year. There is a table tennis table in the living room and we find it an excellent entertainment for us all, though we could do with a bit more room for competitive games! The sleeping quarter has three big bed rooms, each with simple furniture/storage and well fitted bathrooms en suite. This sleeping area is separated from the kitchen/living area by a door/corridor which is great at kids bed time. This is also an excellent utility room which opens out to the back garden. The outside of the cottage is very pleasant with functioning areas yet in a complete rural setting. We spent every evening watching the sunset from our chaise longues in the back garden and the kids loved playing with the old roofless stone house and the low stone wall. The cottage is well located, 5 mins from Lisdoonvarna (shops+restaurants), and 12 mins from Fanore beach, though our kids did suffer from the wiry roads. There are a lot to do around the area and many beautiful walks. The Burren scenery is breath taking and we can easily spend many more days there. All in all, Pollclabber Cottage is a welcoming home away from home set in the beautiful Irish country side in one of the world most famous areas, what a find!

Just returned from a superb stay at the Anixi Apartments. The very friendly and helpful family (Eleni Bill Jack & Dassia) the location, the food, the pool, made this an ideal place for us to stay.
The apartments are typically basic Greek accommodation, our studio had a hand held shower which was not ideal but caused us no problems. We stayed B&B and the breakfast was very good. If you like to explore you will need a car to get out and about, we tried the local bus which was an experience(hello Tracey and Janet).The best food we found at the Neromilos, Menios, and of course the Anixi. As you can tell we loved this place and will hopefully return next year. If you do go ask Jack to play his guitar and dance ha ha .

We stayed at the KIngs Arms as we were visting family who live locally. The room had been booked by my sister in Australia as a treat for us. Room 301 was lovely however it was situated next to the outside seating / drinking area. Being a lovely summers evening, understandably people were sat outside drinking until very late and it was very noisy. On checking out in the morning there was a further issue regarding payment for the room which had not been correctly processed by the hotel causing embarrasment. Both points were fed back by email, as requested by the recepionist-we had to chase a response four days later. The Manager effectively dismissed our claim regarding the noise, not what you would expect for a £160 per night BB.
