What a treasure, you will feel instantly at home! Róisín’s place is such a charming cottage in the absolute heart of the gorgeous quintessential Clare scenery.
We stayed here for the whole month of November and it immediately felt like we could live there forever. The house has all the mod cons - a very cosy living room with a great TV set up for the long winter nights and board games too. There is a dining room that gets the nicest light in the daytime which was great for working in. We had a wee office too, which Róisín kindly kitted out with a desk. The kitchen is well equipped, the WiFi is excellent and the house heats very quickly with the heating on. There are 4 bedrooms, with the top two getting lovely light in the mornings. Lots of room for a family or group of friends. The bath was a huge plus for me!
The area itself could not be any better. Ennistymon is bout 9 mins drive with lots of pubs, artisan food shops, trendy cafes, second hand/vintage shops, supermarkets and a really really great bookshop with all sorts of treasures. The house is also about 6mins from Lisdoonvarna. There are so many stunning walks, beaches, woods in the area I wouldn’t know where to start but a highlight for us was the Cather Valley Loop and all of the walking routes through the Burren. Fanore beach is also a must for the sunsets!
I couldn’t recommend this place enough. Róisín was an incredible host, always a text away from any question. She was quick with recommendations and advice too - even recommending a local mechanic for our car. She has great knowledge of the area. We feel incredibly luck to have had a month in this home.
