Wow! Definitely the highlight of our trip to Ireland! When I saw Gabriel's listing for it looked to good to be true, especially for the price. In reality it surpassed all expectations. Haran's is a three storey former bar which has been beautifully and tastefully renovated to provide luxurious accommodation but true to its original character. The original bar has been preserved, complete with bottles and glasses, as if frozen in time. To the rear is a large and very well appointed traditional kitchen with all mod cons. This was our favourite living space during our stay, although there is also a very large lounge on the first floor. There are three good sized double bedrooms and a kids room with bunks, and there are two bathrooms. Each room has been thoughtfully decorated and furnished in its own style.
Our host Gabriel communicated well prior to our stay. When we arrived he was away, but he left the running of Haran's in the very capable hands of Breda, who was extremely welcoming, helpful and efficient. A wonderful welcome pack was provided which included Haran's personalised coffee, good quality tea, milk and biscuits.
Haran's is situated right in the middle of the main street in Ennistymon. Whilst this meant it was a little noisy at times, it was very convenient for supermarkets, restaurants and bars - Eugene's next door is a must.
Overall this must rank as one of the loveliest places we have stayed in all of our many holidays over the years. Thanks Gabriel & Breda!
