Noirin's place is rather modestly called 'The Shed', but, in fact, it's a substantial house. There are three generously-sized double bedrooms, each with an en suite, and one of the bedrooms has a single bed as well as a double. There is a compact, but well-equipped kitchen, a small dining area and a nice lounge, with two sofas.
The house is newly completed and all the work has been done to a very high standard. There are high-quality, modern fittings throughout and the property is meticulously maintained.
Noirin's place is located right in the Burren -- one of the most beautiful parts of Ireland, with its stark, wild landscape. The benefit of the location is that one is right in the heart of this area, with wonderful walks right on one's doorstep. The (slight) downside is that one is a little distance from amenities. However, there are two cafés reasonably close by -- at the Perfumery and at Hazel Mountain Chocolate. The cafés are not fully operational in the winter, but, when open, they offer a good range of lunch options and desserts.
Beyond the immediate area, the towns of Kinvarra and Ballyvaughan are a short drive from the house and there are plenty of shops and restaurants in both towns. Also close by is the renowned seafood restaurant Linnanes in New Quay -- a wonderful spot with sea views and an excellent menu.
Noirin was an exemplary host. Communication was swift and clear and the house was in first rate order when we arrived. Some basic supplies had been provided, which was a nice, welcoming touch. Noirin touched base with us a couple of times by text to make sure we had everything we needed, without being at all intrusive -- we knew that her assistance was at hand if we needed it.
I would highly recommend this property for anyone looking to visit this beautiful part of the country. Noirin's is a professional-standard operation, with a nice personal touch.
