We had a ten day family holiday in Elizabeth's cottage in early June. I have to say that we had a wonderful time. From start to end, Elizabeth was a perfect host. The warm welcome we received on arrival instantly made us feel at home (as did the legendary yummy scones!) Having looked forward so much to our holiday, I was a bit worried that the reality might not meet expectation.
I needn't have worried...the cottage was everything we'd hoped for and more. It's everything you imagine a cosy rural cottage in Ireland to be. Photos really can't do it justice. It's enchanting - so tranquil, cosy, beautifully decorated and containing everything you could possibly need during your stay. We had such a lovely time that we really didn't want to leave.
Elizabeth is such a great host...so kind and engaging - you'll be bowled over by her warm personality and her way of making sure you have all you need while not being at all intrusive (an impressive skill). Elizabeth is what makes the experience of staying here so special and I can't thank her enough for her hospitality.
In terms of where the cottage is situated, we found it ideally located, just a few minutes walk to the village where you'll find friendly local pubs, great food and traditional music. We found the location also made a great base for touring Clare, Galway, Limerick and Connemara.
Local highlights for us were the Doolin cave, the Ted Tour (including Tea at the Parochial House) which was great fun, the live music in Lisdoonvarna and the beautiful local beaches. I could go on but I'd recommend finding out for yourself. You won't be sorry...
