I can’t recommend John’s cottage enough. In addition to being perfectly situated within short, beautiful drives to many beautiful villages — Kilfenora (which has a wonderful, non-touristy pub that often offers traditional Irish music), Innistymon, Dingle — the cottage is well apportioned with solid amenities (including a solid wood burning stove), books, guides, and one of the best beds I’ve slept in during an Airbnb stay. John is a top-notch host and an excellent communicator (and storyteller) who welcomed us with fresh scones and country eggs and offered valuable insights about County Clare. I felt like a local for our three day visit and was sad to leave. Thank you, John!
