What can I say... this was by far our best trip to County Clare yet. My family and I have been to Clare many times, and this was by far the best location, and best setup Cottage we've used. Ann is great from a communication prospective, and everything in the cottage is well appointed. The presence of a natural peat fireplace was a real plus, as I enjoy the ambiance tremendously. For the Americans reading this there is a SEPERATE Washer and Dryer, which is a huge plus when coming from the States, and/or traveling with family. The utility costs are incredibly reasonable by EU/Irish Standards, just follow Ann's suggestions around setting the timer for the Heat to come on and off when you're actually going to be at the cottage. My biggest complaint is there wasn't a house near buy we can purchase for our own!! :) For those considering booking, do it, and ENJOY THE STAY.
