Host was extremely responsive and helpful! The location is absolutely gorgeous, but keep in mind many places are closed in winter. Check out Lahinch for some cafes that are open for breakfast (and a great beach!). Perfect for doing day trips to Cliffs of Moher (if you like hiking, do the walk to the cliffs (1-1.5hr each way)), Gallway, Bunratty...

Our only issue was because we arranged for very late arrival and I didn't want to bother the host so late even though we discovered the heat was not working. It was -2 that night; thank goodness host had extra blankets. Heat was promptly turned on the next morning when we called. There is a heater that can always be turned on which we used, but it's for the main floor and not the bedrooms.

Fixtures and mattresses are a little dated, but place is a great value so don't let that deter you.
