We had a wonderful time in Helen's place, communication was excellent (Helen got straight back to me with any questions I had), it was also excellent value for money. Helen was very accomodating and even put up stair gates which was great as we had a curious toddler with us. You would need a car to get around but was everything we wanted, was only a few minutes drive to the closest village. It was quiet location, big safe garden for the kids to run around and the house was really cosy. It was a great base to explore east Clare and the surrounding area.
