This private estate is a perfect spot for weddings, celebrations or casual reunions, a terrific spot to spend a holiday with a central location in Ireland’s west, that makes it an excellent choice for touring Clare, Galway, and Limerick, as well as the rolling hills of nearby interior Irish counties and the more distant seaside villages along the Atlantic.

There is a furnished side patio with barbeque and occasional seating, plus a very sweet children’s playhouse furnished with darling toys for little ones to enjoy.

This vacation rental home is in terrific position for touring County Clare, Limerick and Galway, perhaps parts of County Kerry and County Cork on a longer day (and  with some of the best scenery in Ireland, why not?).  The house is positioned close to some of Ireland best national treasures like the lunar landscapes of the Burren and a Wonders-of-the-World candidate, the Cliffs of Moher. There are several 18-hole golf courses within half hours drive of the house, including the World Class course at Lahinch. The gorgeous beaches of Clare and Galway are close, as is Inchiquin Lough, all with boating, fishing and watersports to enjoy.
