Absolute gem of a place in a perfect location for exploring the West. House is absolutely beautiful and so so cosy. You will immediately feel at home here. The weather was fabulously wild and wet so it was the perfect conditions to sit in front of the big blazing stove and read books totally guilt free. The area is completely unspoilt, no noise or light pollution so there is total peace and quiet which does wonders for the soul. Everything you could possibly need is at the house and Helen and Shane are very kind hosts. The stoves were set for us and Helen popped in to greet us and make sure everything was ok even though we arrived quite late. We also knew they were there if we needed anything at all during our stay. The house is only a few minutes from Gort where there are the main supermarkets and we found an amazing health store which was better stocked than most big health stores. Also lovely local grocery stores and farmers markets and people in the area are really warm and friendly. Some lovely cafes and places to eat here too. It was the ideal base for travelling to Kinvara and onwards south to the Flaggy Shore, Ballyvaughan, Fanore, Doolin and Liscannor which are some of our favourite places along this stunning coast. We loved this place so much we are already planning our return, which will hopefully be for longer this time! If we could get a one way ticket to this place we would!!
