What a gem!
We have 3 small children (6 & under) and the setup here is second to none! The garden was like having their own private amusement park. It is a credit to Karyn & Eric’s thoughtfulness. We were staying during particularly fine weather so just lived in the garden but indoors, there were games and toys as well as an outdoor sheltered play room. There is also a sky box, board games and a good selection of dvds if there on a rainy day. They had a ball! (And so did we as a result!)
Karyn & Eric’s thoughtfulness did not stop there. There were loads of other little touches, too many to mention all but it did include a welcome selection of fruit, pastries and essentials like bacon, eggs and milk.
Their warm welcome made us feel at home and relaxed us into the holiday immediately. While they were available to us throughout the stay, there was no sense of our privacy being encroached upon.
The house itself is a bit outside Miltown Malbay so you would need a car to stay here. It is at the end of a quiet country boreen and has the most awe-inspiring uninterrupted views of the fields, cliffs, Aran Islands and of course, the Atlantic Ocean, all from the back garden.
Karyn and Eric were great for their advice as to what to do and where to go. We spent a lovely morning in Spanish Point and another day, we walked through the fields near the house down to a rocky cove where we were able to bring the kids rock-pooling.
An ingenious touch was the hot tub which was lovely to retire to after putting the kids to bed. While the accommodation isn’t the fanciest you might be able to book, the wonderful facilities, welcome and all the additional advice and touches simply make this a fantastic place to stay!
Overall, we had an absolutely wonderful stay here and would highly recommend it. We are already looking forward to a return visit. Thanks for everything Karyn & Eric
