As a family of 5 we had a great time in Scarrif. It was wonderful for my city kids who got to feel what it was like to cycle down country lanes and chat to the cows! so much to do around with swimming, fishing and cycling around lough Derg and then the Burren, Doolin, Lahinch etc. Clare is fantastic for the great outdoors. The house is old world and has great gardens around it. Would recommend bringing the car though.
