You could not ask for a more idyllic and comfortable "home away from home" if you are travelling in Clare.
The location in Kilbaha, Loop Head is so relaxing and invigorating at the same time. You feel as if you are miles from anywhere and yet if you need to be, you can be amidst all that the Loop Head Peninsula, the Wild Atlantic Way and West Clare has to offer in no time. There are so many natural beauty spots and postcard perfect towns / villages all around! It embodies all that you expect from the Wild Atlantic Way! If you do have to drive anywhere, the views will more than make it worth it. In fact, you might even make up things to do just to get out and drive around! Just plan on making lots of stops to take pictures and talk with folks. Amazing views and amazing people are in abundance!
The Cottage itself is beyond perfect. The backyard is beautiful. You will want to sit out in the evening and enjoy. Or sit out front and watch the cattle across the road; or just be amazed at how challenging it must be for the farmer to work the land that goes up the side of the "hill" . But it isn't all rural life. There are amazing artisans and local craftworkers all around who have created not just art for public display but the kind of memorable pieces that you will want to take home with you.
Inside the Cottage you will find all the amenities you want / need and plenty of room to spread out. If you are a large family, or a family with special needs, or a multi-generational family, everything that you might want has been thought of. Two bedrooms up and two bedrooms down with no less than 3 bathrooms! We were three older sisters and were more than comfortable. Families will love it!
However, the best part of the whole experience was the people. You couldn't ask for more helpful folks than Theresa and Aileesh (I hope I spelled that right). They made us feel like neighbours or friends who had dropped in for a visit. And the Cottage is operated by the Community, so the funds raised goes back into the Community. Such a great idea.
You will enjoy your stay so much, you may not want to leave. We didn't!
