I didn’t seek out the glorious destination of Carrigaholt on our on – it happened upon us by chance, through some last minute Airbnb searching John’s place was available for our two night stretch.
It ended up being the perfect spot for us. The house was very clean and ample for a large number of people. A string nautical theme ran through the house, which was very fitting given the area. The en-suite bathrooms on every bedroom were amazing. There was no drawing short straws as all were equally wonderful. The striking dining table was the perfect spot for our late night board games. The highlight of the place in my opinion was the amazing garden that stretched from the back doors all the way down to the water. We went swimming in the mornings and private water access was the perfect way to start the day.
We were warmly welcomed by John and one of his pups Harley. John was a fantastic host, giving great suggestions for the area and being very accommodating of our late arrival.
We rented bikes from Loop Head e-bikes which was just a two minute walk down the road. They were extremely helpful and cycling was a great way to take in the beauty of the entire loop head.
I can’t wait to come back again. The house has such amazing charm and it wasn’t your traditional touristy town like Kilkee. But Kilkee was only about a 10 minute drive away if you wanted to head in for something busier.
