Patricia met us at the beginning and the end of the stay and left homemade scones and milk and butter which was a lovely welcoming gesture. The garden and setting is lovely and quiet, the donkeys and pony were a big hit with the kids. The bathroom with shower has been updated and was great, as there were five of us staying and sharing the one bathroom at times coming in from the beach, a decent bathroom/shower was a must. Ideally the kitchen could do with some updates, it would be great if the cooker and microwave could be updated, they work but are really very slow, some new pots and a sharp cooks knife would be handy. Inside, the kitchen and sitting room are a bit dark (darker than in the photos) but that is common in old farm houses, and as the weather was lovely we didn't spend much daytime in the house, the house is handy for cycling to the cliffs of Moher and walks. The sheets on all the beds were cotton, spotless and ironed and the house was very clean, which for me is important.
It was a great base for the Willie Clancy week (20mins drive) and was handy for the beach in Lahinch with shops nearby in Ennistymon. Patrica keeps the garden and house in really good order and her house could be even lovelier with a few more updates particularly in the kitchen and the lighting. Co. Clare is a beautiful county to visit and loads of great music and places to visit.
