The Old Dispensary is definitely a gem. With large windows and multiple skylights, it’s bright and open with a nice view of the neighboring countryside. The renovation of the building is beautiful and very functional. We appreciated that Cathy’s kitchen is equipped with pretty much everything you need, including quality cookware and dishes. As we were at Level 3, COVID restrictions during our stay with few open restaurants, those touches made our stay immensely easier.
The location was perfect for us as we took advantage of the fairly short drives to some of west Clare’s beautiful features. In addition, Labasheeda is a lovely and friendly village with just a short walk to Labasheeda Quay to enjoy the sights of the Shannon Estuary.
As far a cleanliness goes, I don’t think we’ve stayed in a more spotless AirBnB in all the years of using this service.
Cathy was a very responsive and accommodating host. Anything that needed on-site assistance was promptly provided by either her nephew, Michael, or Michael’s spouse, Emma. We enjoyed meeting both of them during our stay.
