Wow, where do I start? This is one of the best Airbnbs I have ever stayed in and I really can't recommend it enough.
First of all, the house is absolutely stunning - as is its picturesque location. It's the perfect spot to relax and unwind, or to explore the Burren and all that Co. Clare has to offer. We loved sitting outside in the meadow or on the patio with our coffees or a glass of wine enjoying the quiet, and our beautiful surroundings or watching the stars at night. You can really get away from it all here and get back to nature (we had some wonderful wildlife encounters during our stay, including a beautiful fox) but it's also close enough to several local towns that you can easily head out and enjoy all that they have to offer.
The house not only looks great (we loved the eclectic decor - it really works) but it's also incredibly comfortable and had plenty of room for our group of 10, as well as plenty of hot water for showers. The piano and bar were firm favourites with our group!
Another important thing to note is that this house has the best stocked kitchen I've ever encountered in an Airbnb, and a beautiful AGA stove which was a dream to cook with. From spices and kitchen appliances to cookware and cleaning supplies - the kitchen had everything we could possibly need. We cooked dinner for 10 people each night of our stay with ease, which we enjoyed in the stunning dining room (which was laid out and ready for use when we arrived!).
Patrick is a truly wonderful host - incredibly patient and accommodating. We felt at home from the moment he welcomed us to his beautiful house. He really went the extra mile in helping us have a wonderful holiday and we are so grateful for that. We can't wait to return the The Sanctuary in the future!
