A brilliant property, and an excellent host. The photos didn’t really do it justice in my experience. The house interior is furnished and decorated to a very high standard. Lots of interesting art in every corner too. The bathrooms are very modern and well finished. The interior has clearly been done up recently.
The exterior was also recently painted and looks great as well, very fresh. The location of the property is really quite special. It’s up on a hill, surrounded on three sides by a tall forest, with wonderful view out over Clare where there’s no forest. Very secluded and scenic. Nice wildflowers our the back too, between the house and the forest. It all feels a little alpine or something.
Patrick was a superb host. Lots of communication in advance, all very clear and very prompt. Very nice guy, and great attention to detail. He was keen to help in any way possible. He even had the dinner table set for us after I mentioned we’d be having a dinner party. The dining room and lounge (with a small bar) aren’t even pictured on this listing at the time of writing this review, and they were fantastic rooms! I should also mention that the Aga is a great feature in the kitchen for cooking for big groups. Excellent experience overall.
