We spent a lovely, relaxing two weeks at Rest Easkey with our five year old dog. The house is warm and cosy on wet days but also had a lovely back garden area for sitting outside when the sun shone. It is well-equipped and had everything we needed. We did a bit of working from home while we were there and the WiFi worked well.
The house is right in the centre of Easkey and across the road from Bernie’s grocery shop which was great if we needed anything. There is lots of coming and going from Bernie’s -people buying petrol, ice creams and newspapers - which gave our dog something to watch through the window (but it wasn’t noisy).
We’d recommend the sandwiches, bagels and cakes from Pudding Row as well as the pottery from Rosie’s (great for gifts to bring home). Easkey itself is a quiet, friendly little town and has a lovely 10-minute walk to the sea on the far side of the river. It’s popular with surfers.
Further afield we went to Enniscrone to enjoy a walk on the beach & gelati afterwards from the ice cream shop on the Main Street. Also drove to Strandhill for more great walks and some delicious outdoor lunches from Shells cafe. If you have more time, we’d recommend the one hour drive to Lough Key Forest Park where you could pass a whole day. There are also other beaches along the coast which are worth a visit for a walk and soaking up the beautiful scenery. Thank you so much Tracey for a very relaxing break!
