There are simply no words to describe what a fabulous stay that we had with Carole and Kevin. The Gamekeeper's Cottage simply screams Hemingway. When we arrived (late) everything was just so.

The kids rode bikes for hours around the countryside. I was able to relax and read or wander out into the court yard and chat with Kevin, Carole and their friends.

The farmers market in Killaloe was a real treat and groceries were just a short walk across the bridge from there.

It's clear they're putting their hearts into this place. Visit once and you won't want to leave.

Be sure to confirm directions with Carole before you set out -- googlemaps has a nasty sense of humor.
