The house and site are fabulous and located in a beautiful quiet part of Co. Clare. We sat on evenings sipping wine and watching the swallows dancing across the lake at the bottom of the garden. Two swans and water lilies, all gently floating. Facing west, the garden/ patio and sitting room are warmed by the evening sun. On the first morning at 5am, I saw a red deer doe grazing on the opposite side of the lake and on the following mornings in the garden! I loved the interior shape of the house, the decor, furnishings and art. The positioning of the chairs in the bay window overlooking the lake is ideal for taking-in the view. The lakeside bedroom has the most wonderful en-suite, a fab bath as well as a shower. Love the beds, mattresses and really fresh linen. The kitchen, galley in shape, is not to be underestimated , it is the best in any house I have ever rented - fully equipped - although, I managed to restrain myself from cooking every day. Great library bookcase. Garden is looking splendid. A few steps away from the Half Barrel pub and a great hub location for the area, Ennis in 40 mins. Pick up an excellent pizza and salad in the Snug in Mount Shannon if you have been out for a day or better still, sit and eat - the atmosphere is great in the Snug or across the road in the pub restaurant. Have booked the house for next year. Thanks, Rita.
