Holiday rentals near Killaloe Cathedral

From the minute we arrived Tom was there to make us feel welcome.His wealth of local knowledge is amazing and on several occasions he suggested excellent alternatives to trips we were planning.One evening he brought his friend Pat to fix a window and we spent a pleasant hour or so being entertained with singing!Tina keeps the house in perfect order and you want for nothing. One note of caution though. If Tom offers you Poitin be careful, it's potent stuff! We would return in a heartbeat and if you want peace and quiet in the heart of the Irish countryside this is definitely the place for you. One evening he brought his friend Pat

Great property clean and comfortable Beautiful views Excellent host nothing too much trouble

We selected this lovely house in Mountshannon as it is all on the one level and indicated that it was wheelchair accessible. Our son uses a power wheelchair and it isn’t easy to find a suitable holiday home in Ireland. While this house isn’t fully adapted it worked very well for our son. Our host, Jim, was extremely accommodating and ensured there was a shower chair available and one of the showers worked fine for our son. One of the double bedrooms and adjacent bathroom was also very suitable for his powerchair. There are some steps between decking levels outside but there are lots of options for accessing them from inside the house as there are plenty of doors. The overall house is beautiful, very clean and well cared for with some lovely personal touches such as Jim’s own photos of the local countryside very nicely framed on the walls. There is an excellent laundry/utility room, a well stocked library with lots of guide books, local restaurant information etc. Mountshannon is a lovely quiet village with at least two great places for good food “The Snug” (lovely tapas, pizzas and wines served by very friendly staff), “Cois na hAbhna” (substantial and very tasty pub food, great mash and veg and also very nice staff). Also a good selection of eating options further afield in Whitegate, Scarriff and Killaloe. The small beach at Mountshannon harbour is a great place to take a swim in the lake. This is a really lovely location from which to tour around East Clare.

We arrived to the Walled Garden Cottage in the middle of a storm. We were very warmly welcomed by Anne who helped us sort out TV and music and inside no time we had a roaring fire. The beds are so comfortable and made up with 5 star quality linen. We both slept so well and woke up to the birds signing and sun shining. The kitchen is very well equipped and the pantry has a great stock supply. We both decided to cook and found really good local suppliers for fish and meat. Fresh vegetables from the garden were absolutely delicious. We loved sitting in the garden having good food and wine watching the butterflies and dragonflies. Frank and the staff on the estate were so helpful and kind calling to check if we had enough wood or if we needed something from the shop. Total relaxation. Do not hesitate to book.

The comfort and facilities in this house are all top class. The views from the sunny large decking area are superb as is the location of the house, a short walk to the picturvillage if Ki

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.
