My wife and I had an amazing time during our two nights at The Lodge at Kiltannon House. Everything about the house was as described in the listing. We drove in around 6:30 pm, and Paul greeted us and showed us around the property. He had a fire roaring in the stove, and home-baked brown bread, local eggs, and fruit in the kitchen waiting. On our first morning, Joan greeted us with fresh-made scones, and chatted with us for a while about County Clare and things to do in the area.

Paul and Joan have seen to every detail, providing plenty of literature and maps for the surrounding area, umbrellas to borrow if needed, toiletries in case you forgot yours. The bed and bedding were incredibly comfortable. Everything was impeccably clean, and the shower was fantastic -- hot, with excellent pressure.

What a beautiful spot Paul and Joan have created for unwinding in the countryside of County Clare. Our only regret is that we didn't stay longer.
