Better than a hotel! Will definitely be back. Orla's place is like a small apartment. Complete privacy. Small kitchenette with kettle, toaster, fridge. Super clean. Comfy beds, great shower. Very thoughtful touches like homemade cookies, etc, plus everything for a continental style breakfast is included and re-filled every day. If you are worried about the owners living in the same property (we usually like our privacy), there is nothing to worry. Orla is very respectful of that. All communication by phone if that is what you prefer. Checking in and checking out was perfect, just left the keys in the key box. Beautiful scenic walks can be done from the house on foot. A lot to see within short drives in Co Clare and Co Galway. Amazing views of the ocean. Apartment is on the side of the house, own private entrance, private entrance hall, 1st floor location is ideal for sea views. Simply outstanding with a lot of care. By far the best we've ever stayed in Ireland over the past 20 years. And a lot better than a tiny hotel room. Thank you so much, Orla.
