Stayed in Clerragh Cottage for three nights with family - and it was a very pleasant experience from start to finish.
It’s off the grid, and has lots of woodland/fields surrounding it. Was able to explore the woods early in the morning - very peaceful. The cottage itself is really lovely, and well maintained. Great for a family break.
A car is a necessity or a taxi would be needed if visiting towns close by i.e. Boyle. No wifi in the house (which isn’t a bad thing), good coverage for 4G if you do need internet or email access.
We ventured to Carrick on Shannon a few times (15 mins or so) for lunch/dinner and a boat trip down The Shannon. Lough Key is close by which is lovely for a few hours out and about. On the road to Clerragh, check out Doon Shore - it’s great for some swimming on a good evening.
Eileen is a very lovely person, and we had some great conversations with her on a daily basis. She has a beautiful home and stunning surroundings, and we will look forward to a trip back down in the future.
Highly recommend!
