A Wee Cosy Nook

A great property for a group of friends, but not particularly ideal for a young family due to layout, location and lack of outdoor space. The property is beautifully decorated and the vatheooms are to an exceptionally high standard. The host communicates promptly.

Perfect stay in a beautiful setting

We had a lovely stay in this house. It was located in a beautiful location overlooking the estuary and a short drive from the local village. It was very clean and tranquil, exactly what was needed after getting away from a big city. The views of the many islands on the River Shannon were breathtaking. Anne was very friendly, easy to contact and accommodating to our needs. We would highly recommend it for somewhere to stay, especially to anyone wanting a relaxing stay in a picturesque setting

Wonderful stay

Thanks Donagh we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Fab communication and absolutely beautiful cottage and courtyard. Great location far enough from the bustle of Limerick but close enough to shops and pubs.

Our Stay at Meadow View

We spent a wonderful fortnight at Meadow View. The house was clean, comfortable and we felt right at home. On arrival we were greeted by the hosts Maria and Tony who made us feel very welcome. They also had the kettle on the boil ready for a cuppa to go with the home made scones & jam. After a long journey it was very much appreciated and yummy to boot!!! The hosts were kind and helpful. The pub in Quin, Abbey Tavern & Bistro serve delicious meals and there is a cracking Thai takeaway i Ennis - Red Onion Indian and Thai. The highlight of our holiday was a day on Inis Mor, Arran Island and amazing experience. We took the ferry from Doolin which isn't very far from the house. Burran National Park is also a must A very diverse area with plenty to do and see. .We would definitely return too Meadow View and strongly recommend it. Diolch/thanks Maria & Tony for your hospitality.
