This cottage is even better than it looks in the photos. What a magical experience! Our children loved the thatched cottage and so did we. It’s not off grid but it’s simple living at its best with ingenious design features like a water heater powered by the fireplace. A very cozy space to enjoy some tea and reading by the fire and they have a great collection of interesting books. The owners Hillary and Martin were so kind and went above and beyond, helping us with places to see and even brought us a card and birthday cake. Set on a wonderful piece of east Clare farmland close to the home place of famed healer woman, bean feasa Biddy Early. It feels like you’re deep in the woods in a fairytale. The attention to detail and handmade quality of the old restored cottage is lovely as well as the stunning flowers of the garden. Thanks again!
