Gabriel was a good host and responded well to our fairly last minute request to stay. The house is really well equipped and we cooked some great meals in the kitchen. The rooms are comfortable and the decor is beautiful. We stayed as a two because it was such good value but perhaps felt the house was a little big for just the two of us! We enjoyed exploring Ennistymon and the local area but did rely on buses to get to most of the good walks and the beach as we are without a car - hitching was possible though and seems fairly common in Clare. The local pubs have some fantastic music nights and the local cafes, restaurants and shops were really friendly. Would recommend as an interesting place to stay in a welcoming community, but if you are keen to explore the Burren Way walks by foot straight from the door try to get to Doolin for some time as well.
