the house was an absolute Gem,, lovlely house, with nice garden and view out the kitchen window of the shannon estuary and co. kerry.. the house had everything we needed and we were very comfortable (two adults, two young kids).. location was lovely and tranquil. with short walk to the beach,, picking blackberries along the way.. not much going on in the way of shops / pubs but there there's a nice village (carrighaholt) nearby (check out the post office full of books which are free to take) and if you want to go further afiled then kilkee (check out the pollock holes) or kilrush.. sarah was always available but during our 14 day stay we didn;t need to make contact one because everyhing was just as she had said, and everything was perfect for our needs.. . i wouid have no hesitation in reommeding sarahs place.. ..
