We have just returned from a perfect week in Julie's fantastic house.

The house is amazing. Warm, comfortable, the rooms well laid out, with a super open plan kitchen/sitting room/diner - which was was where our kids played/read when the weather wasn't great outside.

From the dining table we watched the sea, this view was one of the highlights. In fact, the view from every window in this house is breath taking. We when the sun shone we walked, with buggy and little ones, to the beach - less than 5 minutes. Even with the tide in the water was calm and perfect for children. We spent most days here or around the corner, on Banna beach.

A huge garden surrounds the house and our city kids couldn't believe their luck, running around, hills and cows on one side, the coast on the other.

The house itself has loads of space, wide halls, large bedrooms, great utility room - to dust off sandy feet and dry the beach towels.

The closest village, Ardfert, is a short drive away. It has a butcher, well stocked grocery shop, Kate Brown's - super eatery and a well maintained playground.

We were all very sad to leave and would to go back in a heartbeat. We highly recommend Julie's house and have already recommend her to our friends.
