Welcome to one of the most beautiful places in the known Universe, the Loop Head peninsula in West Clare. The house is what the pictures show and much more... a perfect blend of character and functionality - Lots of details and touches that reflect the origin of the cottage- Very comfortable and charming inside - plus, in this quiet and beautiful place you probably don't think that you can have the best shower in your life in this cottage, but it's true! (much better than in upscale hotels we've been)
The kitchen is so well equipped that we cooked at home many times (freshest fish from nearby fishmonger in the town of Carrigaholt). The place is always warm thanks to heated floors and the peat turf burner which we always kept well fed.
Really close to major attractions in Clare (e.g. Cliffs of Moher) but you may be tempted to just stay local and enjoy everything you have in Loop Head. The cliffs at the lighthouse, as well as the cliff walk at Kilkee, are outstanding. Don't forget to visit the Briges of Ross and stop for a coffee and cakes at the Kilbaha Gallery, where their friendliest staff will give you fascinating tips of things to see and do around (ask about the "secret hanging gardens" in the cliffs.. .you wont regret it!).
In summary, a beautiful and comfortable cottage in a location of which there are not so many left that unspoiled in the world. We will be coming back. Often. Many times. :)
