We had such a great week at Kiltannon Lodge that it's hard to put it into words. Paul and Joan are the best hosts you could ask for and they were always available as their home was just a short distance from the cottage. They both went out of their way to make sure our stay there was the best ever. The night we arrived Paul shared with us the history about Kiltannon and the area which was so interesting. Joan spoiled us each morning with the most delicious hot scones delivered to our door at 8:45 am each day, what a special treat! They also helped us with some day trip ideas which were just perfect for us. Joan suggested Kilkee and Loop Head Drive to the Loop Head Lighthouse which turned out to be one of our favorite trips. We also spent one day going to the Cliffs of Moher and The Burren which are both a must see. Unfortunately it rained the day we went to Connemara National Park and Clifden so we will have to come back again. The cottage has everything you could need and was so comfortable for the two of us. The setting was so private and peaceful, just the perfect place to relax and unwind. It was nice to hear the cows mooing in the nearby pasture and to be able to share an apple and spend some time enjoying their two horses. On one morning a neighbor (professional jockey) stopped by with his horse and rode around the ring which was really cool to see. Our last night there Joan suggested that we go to Tulla to a Pub for some local music. It turned out to be the community's "cultural" night of music with 20 + different musicians participating making it a real Irish experience for us, unforgettable! We can wholeheartedly recommend The Lodge Kiltannon House for anyone wishing to experience this part of Ireland, you will not be disappointed!
