Gerry’s place is absolutely brilliant - a quiet, relaxing stay right in the Burren. We had a great week with our 3 kids (aged 10, 8 & 5) who loved the lake, the swings, the boat, the baby chicks, and the 3 friendly dogs.
Some great local trips include: the Burren Perfumery (delicious lunch/snacks and beautiful gardens), Fanore beach (lovely large Sandy beach with lifeguards and surf lessons available to book via Aloha surf school), Doolin (Ivy cottage great for food) and ferry out to Inisheer. Also Ailwee caves worth a visit.
We ate in some lovely places in Ballyvaughan (Monks), Carron (Cassidy’s pub) and the Pier head (Kinvara). Also recommended but difficult to get a table is Linnans lobster bar in New Quay.
