We had many really nice stays during our trip through Ireland, but the one on Claggan Island stood out in every way. It cannot be expressed with a star rating, because how would one describe heaven on earth?
The Howard family treated us not as strangers but as friends, offering us a home away from home through many kind gestures. We admired the family's connectedness to the land, their humanity, their wisdom....
Then the magical landscape - beaches that we had more or less to ourselves - breathtaking sunsets and rainbows - rough winds - warm and super comfortable pods - farm animals that gladdened our children's hearts ... the stay was deeply nourishing for body and soul. The memories will resonate with us for a long time to come and fill us with gratitude.
