We had a lovely stay at The Red Gates (Des' Place) over the weekend. The apartment is very sweet with some really nice touches, it's spotlessly clean and has everything you could need. The views and the surroundings are lovely too. Location wise it's very easy to get to places like Lahinch, Ennis and Doolin (all be it on some narrow roads). Des is a great host, very quick to respond and provided everything we needed. I'd highly recommend staying here!
