A gem! Don’t be duped into assuming this is an ultra modern, slick renovation. The house is far more intimate than the photos suggest. Of course it will take your breath away largely due to the sweeping windows that frame the view, a view that will demand to be watched closely throughout your stay. But there is a laid back feel to this place. Stephen has managed to do that clever thing of merging contemporary design with buckets of charm and his home has a soothing affect. It fits perfectly in the landscape, creating a twist in this isolated spot just outside Lahinch. When you first turn off the main road for Barrtra and head down towards the nearby coast, it’s hard to believe that this modest building with a flat corrugated roof will surpass your expectations. Trust me, it will.
