We visited for several nights with on a family vacation with our two kids, ages 5 and 7. The setting at this house is so idyllic! Traditional stacked stone wall in the backyard, with horses right on the other side and lake in the background, rocky hillsides and mountains all about. It felt like it was in the middle of nowhere (which we enjoyed), and full-scale grocery options were at least 20 min away, BUT it was unbelievably close to amazing destinations, including the ferry to the Aran Islands (about 20 min driving), which was our absolute favorite activity (ferry out there and renting bikes for the whole family - they have kids bikes and tag-along or trailer for littler kids). Also, although there is no wifi at the house, there was cell service which was sufficient for us. Marian was a very attentive and thoughtful host - her house is just across the field and she was available to us whenever we needed. She also provided us with a loaf of bread, butter, coffee/tea supplies, and bottled water (she recommended not drinking the water from the faucet) so we were all set with basics when we arrived. We were interested in seeing some live music, and Marian directed us to the Peacocke Hotel which is about a 5 minute drive from the house - we thoroughly enjoyed that, and the hotel also has quite a nice gift shop with lots of local crafts, and also a small convenience store with basic groceries. Overall, it was a lovely place to stay!
