The communication with the host was very good before and throughout our stay. They were helpful, kind and attentive. We self checked in, so we didn't get to meet them in person. We were two families staying in the house (five adults and three children) for a weekend in early July. We drove to the place and had no issues finding our way there (keep in mind you may have to drive through narrow roads to reach it). The house is in an isolated location in county Clare countryside surrounded by pastures with cattle (the kids loved being able to see the animals). The house is a close drive away from the city of Miltown Malbay, where you can find shops, restaurants and pubs; we did our grocery shopping there. It is also a great base to explore all the main attractions in the county (Cliff of Moher, the Burren, Lahinch, etc). The house looks exactly like the pictures and is spacious and comfortable. The kitchen had utensils, cutlery, pots and pans, which we used to prepare breakfast and light meals in the evenings. Not sure if you can cook large meals there since we didn't try. While there was a dinner table and chairs in the house, there weren't enough chairs for all of us (only 5 chairs), but we were expecting that from seeing the house photos. The way we sorted this out was by getting the children to eat first and then the adults. We had a lovely stay there and would recommend the place to folks planning a trip to Clare.
