We had a great time at Emer's place. The house is lovely - just as in the pictures, in fact, the pictures don't capture just how beautiful the view is from the house. The house itself was spotless, equipped with everything we could need, including lots of toys for the kids, who were overjoyed. While perhaps not close to the "famous sites", it's the perfect place for a relaxing holiday away from the hustle and bustle, and the nearby Lough Derg (at GerryKennedy) is beautiful. Plus we were able to make a day trip to the Cliffs of Moher as well as Bunratty Castle. But honestly this place is so nice that the kids and ourselves were happy just staying there and relaxing.
There was an incident where one of our kids broke something expensive and we were able to work it out fairly and amicable with Emer, with whom we enjoyed good communication and was very responsive. The neighbor, Gillian, was also extremely helpful--our buggy was delivered by the airline (delayed luggage) and we were out when the delivery was made and we were able to arrange to have it delivered to her house.
We cannot recommend this house more to a family with children and we can't wait to come back on a future trip to Ireland.
