This house is perfect and cozy. A beautiful view with pleanty of seating to relax and cozy Irish blankets. Nice touches with firewood, pleanty of towels and a nicely stocked kitchen. Nice area to walk in the mornings. The village of Whitegate is lovely, and the folks are very friendly and helpful. Angus was great to let us in and show us around. It was perfect for the 4 of us. It does fit 2 more comfortablely, but then you would have to set time limits on the bathroom. Having a second toilet outside is helpful. Everything was stocked well. We did not have any shortage of hot water, and the shower is tricky to get the hang of. There is a small store where the post is, super nice people. A larger store by the Half Barrell Pub. Would recomend to get your groceries in Portumna about 20 or so minutes away at Aldi or Super Value and while there check out the town and sites. It will rain so be prepared with wellies or waterproof shoes and coat or else you will not enjoy your visit. The views are so lovely. We did day trips out to the Cliffs of Moher, to Athone, Cashel and around Lough Derg. The location was perfect 1-2 hours away, with dinner at The Half Barrel a fire and games at night. I would not recomend going any farther then 2.5 hours away, it is a long day and then you miss out on the cozy fire evenings. We made breakfast every morning and watched the light change over the lough with our coffee. Really a perfect place. Ladies there is no blow dryer, I ended up purching one in Athone (they are hard to find). Now I know why, the wind does not matter what you do with your hair the Irish wind will do what it wants with it. Enjoy the natural look, no styling or makeup. Really really wonderful.
