We had a truly lovely few nights’ stay at Granda’s house. Róisín and Marie are exceptional hosts, both virtually and in person. They were so accommodating to us in every meaning of the verb!
The house is beautifully restored and renovated, blending old with new tastefully: you feel right at home and won’t want to leave! Our stay was in November and the weather was not the best for part of it, but we were quite happy at the thought of enjoying being in such a comfortable, clean, cosy and warm building that it didn’t bother us at all! The property is next door to Marie and Tom’s house, but they are ‘there if you need them’ and besides waving, we didn’t see them except at check in/out as everything was perfect in the house. But it was nice to know they were there. Our ch were welcomed on arrival and got to learn lots about dairy farming! The dogs, Jack and Lucy, were a hit too! You do need a car but this is a great base to explore Clare. Even with the weather we made it to Kilrush, Lahinch, Ennistymon, Aillwee cave, Cliffs of Moher, Doonbeg, Bunratty and had some lovely food, great beach walks and explored local sights & shops. We genuinely hope to be back.
