If your wondering whether to stay at the Little Lodge at Aughinish or not, let me spare you some time... don't hesitate- book!
We could not have been made to feel more welcome by Louise and her family in this beautiful place. The tiny house is a former boat makers' cabin and has been lovingly renovated to a gorgeous, high-quality and eco-friendly standard. It is warm, comfortable, spotlessly clean and completely charming! Every little detail was considered and the 'little touches' made it extra special- from the lovely flowers in the garden to Louise's delicious homemade chocolate that she sells locally in the market.
The Little Lodge is situated on a scenic island that is easy to get to by car along a causeway that dates from the 1800s and that was covered in pretty yellow flowers in the week that we were there. It was the perfect base for us to explore north Clare, and Kinvara, with it's choice of lovely pubs and restaurants is also nearby. But we would have been just as happy to spend our whole trip in the Little Lodge and walking around the island itself!
I cant recommend a stay in this beautiful place highly enough! i'm sure you'll love it as much as we did!
