We traveled from the US for a Family Reunion in Tipperary; this location was lovely in County Clare as it was close to many sights we wanted to see. A serene, lake setting, peaceful and quiet with excellent communication with the landlord. We had all ages, and a good time was had by all, the house setting let everyone do their own thing.

Rita was the host, really nice person. Property was spacious and had everything you could want.No need to bring anything iron, washing machine, dryer, towels, dishes, pots & pans, wine glasses, everything was here.The tin opener broke, but i bought a new one and left it in the drawer.The back door was awkward to lock, so we used the side door and front door.You will not be disapointed staying here, the view is superb.The two horses enjoyed the apples & carrots we gave them, they kept looking out for us after that.

No words to express this lovely home, so peaceful. The swans were a delight as were the people in the town. The owner responded every time we had a question. Hope to revisit. Highly recommended.

Lovely house on a beautiful lake! The swans on the lake made it super picturesque. The house is a bargain for the number of rooms, bathrooms and living space. Short walk to wonderful dining spot The Half Barrel. Be aware u are in rural Ireland so Galway. Dublin or Limerick are over an hour drive away on what can be teeth clenching roads. Rita the owner is easy to message and responds quickly.
