We travelled here for a 2 night break, with our 2 Jack Russells. Out host, Claudia, meet us at the pier and drove us the short distance to her home. The accommodation was warm, inviting and comfortable. Claudia and Craig were very friendly and hospitable and made us feel very welcome. The island itself is beautifully set in magnificent surroundings and the few residents we encountered were very friendly. Definitely a place to visit if you enjoy a relaxing break, with the occasional walk to the beach or to other parts of the island, for example, the west of the island, from where you can see Fastnet Rock Lighthouse.

We may have visited just before the start of the season, but there was little to do on the island after we got the last ferry at 6pm. Anything you might want, or need, you will have to bring across to the island, as there is no shop. Although the food that Claudia cooked for us was delicious (if she offers you the grilled Sea Bass, do yourself a favour and take it), I did think that €22 was a bit on the expensive side for a full Irish breakfast.

There is so much to like about this property. The location is absolutely sublime but it also felt a real home from home. So when the rain came, a cosy afternoon on the lounge sofa, reading and playing games was definitely called for! Claudia and Craig are lovely hosts with great attention to detail, so if the dawn chorus keeps you awake, there are ear plugs and if it is a bit chilly, there are hot water bottles to grab! Claudia is also a brilliant cook and the price of our three course meal was really reasonable. I wish this couple all the very best as they develop their business.

The room we chose, was the smallest and it did feel a little on the cosy side, so we enjoyed the more spacious lounge area. There are a variety of rooms so if we stayed again, we would pick a larger room.

I stayed at Heir House for two nights and I was sorry I didn't book longer. I cannot say enough about Heir House. Claudia and Craig are so, so lovely. They are so welcoming and super accommodating. I stupidly brough a tiny suitcase with wheels to an island, which wasn't the brightest idea but they picked me up from the ferry when I arrived and also dropped me back. This place is in a beautiful location, right beside the ocean with spectacular view and lots of lovely places to sit outside. My bedroom was beautiful and super clean. The bed in particular was AMAZING. There's a gorgeous, cosy sitting room to chill out in in the evenings and many, many books available to read. The food was absolutely amazing too. I only had breakfast (which was divine) but one can order evening meals too (which also looked divine). As well as that there is/are always coffee/tea/snacks available 24/7 which I simply LOVE - and I think it says SO much about the place and these wonderful people. You MUST VISIT. PS, the island is absolutely stunning too, and so peaceful.

I loved everything about my 2 night stay at Heir Island House. Claudia and Craig have created a beautiful, warm, and welcoming guest house, and they couldn't have done anything differently to make my stay better. The accommodation is spotless, clean, and full of character, and the food is delicious. To sum up, I can't wait to go back. Heir Island is magical, and to have such a beautiful guest house to return to after a day exploring the tiny island was the icing on the cake. Well done, Claudia, Craig, and crew, see you soon.

Having to leave!!

Claudia and Craig were amazing hosts. Claudia's food was fresh and delicious. It was great that she has hot additions that you can add to the included continental breakfast and her dinner options were hearty and delicious. I felt that they really went out of their way to assure that you have a good experience. I would definitely stay here again.

Heir Island House is located in a beautiful spot, facing the bay and just metres away from a beach and a short walk from the ferry. We were given a warm welcome from the start by Claudia and Craig who looked after us attentively throughout our stay. The rooms were comfortable and very clean. For breakfast you are offered generous portions and the food was delicious. Although the pizzas are wonderful, as guests we were also given the choice of home made food.

Claudia & Craig were wonderful hosts! The island is very peaceful! We brought our dog who was very well looked after. The bed was comfy and the hot tub was a bonus! Would definitely visit again and would recommend to others!

Location! The island is fantastic! Greg and Claudia were just lovely! There is no shop or pub on the island, so you need to come prepared.! But this adds to the adventure.

Nothing to dislike!
