Eilish’s home is a hidden jewel! Our family of 6 stayed in several homes during our tour of Ireland, and by far, this home was the unanimous favorite.
First of all and very importantly, the home is spotless. It is such a beautifully decorated and comfortable space as well. The beds and furniture were comfortable, the kitchen had everything you could possibly need for meal preparation-and was in good working order! This is important to us, because while we do enjoy dining out on vacation, we also love to cook. The appliances, dishes, and utensils didn’t show wear and were all in excellent, clean condition. We were also very grateful to have a great coffee/espresso machine!
Much to our surprise, the location was perfect! It’s a pretty short drive (30 min?) from the Cliffs of Moher, as well as other great ancient, historical sites, and geological attractions. We LOVED the fact that her home has privacy from neighbors, and that you can hike straight from the house. Best of all (according the kids), was the >10 min drive to the beach!
All of these things are important, but what is irreplaceable is the over-the-top hospitality. Eilish greeted us, showed us around the home, brought freshly baked scones & jam, extra hot chocolate for our kids, wine, and all the fixings for an Irish breakfast, including milk. Not only that, but in each bedroom, she provided an assortment of nice toiletries, which we would normally not need, but since we were at the end of our trip, we greatly appreciated. Another treat was the wonderful fireplace that we were encouraged to use if needed.
Honestly, we loved this place and wish we had stayed longer. We highly recommend Eilish’s lovely home!
