We loved our stay at Gabriel's place. It is a character filled, cosy home on three levels, which has been renovated and furnished to a high standard. It is located in a very picturesque village, which ideal as a base to explore West Clare. There are several good restaurants within a few metres - including the pink one on the corner and Byrnes with its great sun deck out the back. There is no better way to finish a day than to visit one of the three beautiful old pubs all within a few steps of the house. The traditional music session at Cooleys pub on Wednesday night ( to which our young teenagers were very welcome) was a great highlight - during which there was a recital of a profoundly moving "Romeo and Juliet" style poem titled "the Protestant boy" , the wisdom of which still brings a tear to the eye. Gabriel was always fast and accurate with his communication. Overall I cannot recommend this place highly enough.
