About this house rental
Luxurious house, situated two hours from Kerry, one hour from Galway, 40 mins from The Burren, 45 minutes from Shannon Airport and 500m from the beautiful, award winning village of Mountshannon, this property is truly a special find - ideal for touring the southwest of Ireland as well as being just 2.5 hours from Dublin.
The local area is well known for golfing, fishing, hiking and water-sports, and hosts one of the most successful Arts festivals in Ireland. Music is available in local pubs in season, and there are several good restaurants nearby.
The house is an architect designed high quality detached home - set on 1.5 acres , with views over Lough Derg and the Tipperary Hills. It is a warm home - timber-framed with zoned central heating and wood-burning stoves. The ceilings are higher than standard, giving a bright airy feel to the home. The picture includes one dining table - there is another of similar size, in total there is a comfortable dining facility for up to 10 people. Accommodation comprises the following:
A large kitchen/living-room/dining-room is at the centre of this home, with a southerly aspect, and magnificent views of the lake. This space has a sound system with built-in speakers . A three-metre square roof window makes this a particularly bright space. The room is adjoined by a living-room with TV - which also has a wood-burning stove.
Bedrooms 1 and 2 are at the west of the property, and enjoy en-suite facilities and patios.
A family suite ( sleeps 4 ) is located within the Diner area of the house, loved by families with younger guests. This area has a Diner style living area with a bar.
Outside, there are extensive patio and decked areas - ideal for lounging or dining al fresco. Children love to play in the huge garden, which also has a greenhouse with herbs that guests are welcome to use.
The East Clare way walking route ( easy to moderate) passes by, and the area is a particularly restful place, with forests, bog-land walks and beautiful unspoiled views over the mountains and lake. Attractions include Holy Island - accessible by a short boat trip available from the harbour - it is one of the earliest Monastic settlements in Ireland (500AD). There is a great park with children's playground and adult gym equipment, a maze, and at the harbour there is an Eagle viewing station.
There are restaurants and local pubs full of atmosphere and charm.
Keywords: Large luxurious residence, sleeps up to 8, ideally located for touring West and Southwest. Less than one hour day -trip to southwest destinations, like Galway, The Burren, The Cliffs of Moher.

Great stay! We really enjoyed the house, very spacious with several rooms. The large garden offered a beautiful view of the lake from the lawn. There were also plenty of toys and games in the house for the children to play with. Jim was very hospitable and had arranged some groceries for us upon arrival. The location was perfect for us to explore both the west coast and the south coast of Ireland, and there was also plenty to do closer to the house.

I cannot begin to express the incredible experience we had staying in Jim and Annie's vrbo. The house is absolutely incredible, the pictures cannot do justice for the peace and beauty of the property.The town is darling and the location is perfect for must-do day trips like the Cliffs of Moher. Mostly, the hospitality brings a true unforgettable Irish experience. We were welcomed with staples in the fridge and a bottle of wine to make for a relaxing evening for adults and children alike. Jim gave recommendations based on what we wanted to see and every tip he suggested proved to be perfect. We felt like we were leaving family at the end of our stay. We could not have asked for a more beautiful home along with the most gracious hosts.
