The place really right beside the marina and rowing club, with nice walks closeby, shops not far, you dont need to drive anywhere! AND I found FRESH cows milk in an actual milk bottle! Made my day. Swam in the lakes not far from Carrick on Shannon. Everything you need for self catering is in the apartment, which is spacious and bright, nice fresh flowers out as well, need to return, didnt get time to go to the Forest park or to do more walking!
