After such a challenging year, this experience is the perfect antidote. Firstly, the incredible warmth, generosity and kind heartedness of Amy and her family is notable from the start. Their respect for Covid guidelines is exemplary; really putting my mind at ease straight away. I've been coming to west Clare for many years - you will not find better hosts, I promise you. Among many other gifts, the gave me fantastic advice that genuinely enriched my experience in terms of hiking, cycling, surfing, fresh air country walks, full body massages, and eating out. The house is warm, clean, spacious, and located in a magnificently peaceful and scenic surrounds. I almost felt like I had my own apartment, the space I was afforded. Less than 5 minutes’ drive from the cute town of Ennistymon; less than 10 minutes from the excitement of Lahinch Beach; 15 mins from the spectacular Cliffs of Moher and pure traditionality of Doolin; 20 minutes from the moon like rugged glow of the Burren. After a very tough year, my mind is refreshed, revitalised, and re-energised, and I’m looking forward to the future again.
