We spent three wonderful nights at Trudi’s place - a haven for art and nature lovers!
It’s quiet, colourful and homely - the bed was so comfortable and we loved relaxing each evening with a little walk down by the river and around the garden, before playing some music while cooking in the well equipped kitchen. The stove makes the living room so cosy and we enjoyed watching a selection of movies there.
We explored West Clare from here, with Loop Head being a particular highlight, along with the Bridges of Ross. Ennistimon, Ballyvaghan and the Ailwee Caves are another great day out to the North. There are lovely little villages a short trip from the house, and we enjoyed running up the quiet road opposite the house for a bit of exercise to counter all the great cake we tried along the way.
Trudi is a wonderful and welcoming host and a very talented artist, who has a great collection of art in each room. She also kindly left us some apples from the garden and showed us around her little piece of heaven by the Shannon Estuary. Polly the Poodle is a gentle and friendly pooch, who we loved meeting too.
If you’re looking for a quiet, creative space this is a perfect place. We’re hoping to return and enjoy it again soon.
Highly recommended! Thank you Trudi and Polly :)
