Oh where do I begin...When we were looking for a place to stay in Shannon, we knew we wanted to find that special "jewel" as a means to divert ourselves from our norm back at home and be as close to nature as possible. What we didn't know was that we were gonna find the best place we had ever experienced in every way. From the moment we walked through the door and found a colorful welcome note from the family all the way to the incredible scent in the air in every room...every detail reminded us of a serenity spa or wellness retreat. Your vacation becomes complete once you immerse yourself in this calming setting. It was all so perfectly clean and welcoming. You're in for a wonderful stay! We got in early afternoon (and were so hungry after driving around and indulging the beautiful country and scenery) and before we could decide on a nearby place to eat, we saw that they had left us some bread, cheese, jams and other food items in the fridge to tide us over. Tom and Rosie are so easy to communicate with, they are incredibly helpful and willing to offer suggestions of places to go and where to eat. They even have an album especially created for guests to look at with information on pretty much everything you can do near or far... Their beautiful home is located about 10-15 mins drive away from the nearest restaurant, shops, pubs, convenience stores, gas stations. Another highlight of their place is the king size bed with an amazing mattress, comforter and pillows, although they have other full/ queen sized beds available for bigger parties as well. You're guaranteed a perfect night's rest. The shower was another experience in itself with multiple settings sure to relax any exhausted traveler after a day's worth of exploration. Their place is easy to find, Tom gave us the coordinates and very detailed information on how to get there from the Shannon airport, in case we didn't have a gps. Whether you're a couple on a special getaway or just simply want to treat yourself or even a family on a road trip...their home creates the beginning of the experience for you!!! Thank you Tom, Rosie and Adam...you're the best!
