This was everything we were looking for, from the house itself to the grounds, as a place to begin our visit to gorgeous County Clare. The house couldn't be more cozy and inviting, well-decorated, with everything we needed for making meals in the roomy kitchen. We're all animal lovers so getting to know Polly, the pig, and the super-friendly cats and dogs on the property was a big plus for us and the kids. They were never bored (and hardly on their screens!) the whole time we stayed. Having unlimited internet access was a big plus for traveling purposes, though. The view out the glass doors in back is lovely, along with the stroll down to the turtle pond. Any time we had a question, Jude got back to us right away. As much as were were looking forward to seeing more of the West coast of Ireland, it was hard to leave. Jude's a wonderful, thoughtful host and this place is terrific. We'd love to stay there again.
