Michael's place was spacious spotless and easy walking distance to restaurants, bars in Ballina and Kilalloe. Lough Derg is a really beautiful area and Ballina is a fantastic base. it's easy to explore the Tipp and Clare sides of the lake. Beautiful walks on East Clare way and Lough Derg way are accessible from Ballina.
The apartment is bright, spacious and warm and although it's above a shop and Garage, there was no outside noise.. our hosts were very helpful, great digital guides provided and some essentials and cake to get us started.
I'd highly recommend this place if you're staying in the area.
