Really loved this house. Excellent location a real break away from noise and covid and outside world. Wild and beautiful with wonderful walks and scenery including Loop Head and the walk around the 9 yellow men. A lovely house with spectacular views and eclectic furnishings. All deities included. No spooky feelings in such an old cottage which has been lovingly restored. Kitchen very well equipped.
The DVD & Tv are dated and need upgrading as were some glitches ie after 30 mins DVD sound goes. I was disappointed by this as I love to watch a movie when on hols. Bring books and games. WiFi was good. I found out the house a little cold and damp initially. Took 3 days to warm up. The old storage heaters work perfectly but the latest additions do not. The heating definitely needs tweeking.
However we played board games and reconnected and I read 3 books. Lovely to hear the waves lapping on pier.
Keatings bar lovely for breakfast. Wouldn’t recommend for dinner though. Staff lovely, but I expect fresh sea food when eating by the sea. Loop head hotel was lovely and new owner is going to encompass food too after Covid, hopefully will be good. I recommend the Long Dock in Carrigaholt Expensive but worth it. Also loved trip to Aran Islands - Inis Mor. Well worth a trip.
Loved Kilrush. Shop over eye glasses / spectacles shop. Wild Atlantic Living. Excellent shop for special gifts.
In general thought Clare was beautiful just bring fleeces & hats and be prepared for inclement weather and you’re good to go.
I would return to this house in the future if a couple of items sorted.
Really enjoyed my stay & thanks.
