This cottage was the perfect place for my daughter and myself for our first visit to Ireland. We were greeted in person by John and his wife who are wonderful. The place was very clean, beds were very comfortable, and we were surrounded by the history of this 200 year old cottage and the beautiful gardens outside. You have a view of Liscannor Bay off of the Atlantic Ocean and the surfing town of Lahinch from the front of the house and property.
We didn't travel far because this area offers enough if you want to immerse yourself in the west coast of Ireland. The Cliffs of Moher are five minutes up the road. You can walk or drive to the local coffee shop, Moher Cottage, which has the best coffee and view of Liscannor Bay. And Caitriona can give you any tips on where to go in the area...for anything. Doolin and other towns are in close driving distance. I've heard that other areas of Ireland are beautiful too, but if you want a quiet, comfortable, authentic experience of Ireland, this is it.
