Nice clean accommodation with wonderful views over the lake. We didn't take our dog with us, however we noticed that the garden is not particularly dog proof. Our only criticism would be the showers in both the ground floor bathrooms were either hot or very hot, it was not possible to adjust the temperature to a warm / comfortable temperature. Other than that, we had a brilliant time. Very many thanks to out host.

Very nice house and lovely location

We had a wonderful 10 day stay at this beautiful location. It was a good starting point for many trips to the west coast. Also the lake view from the main room is absolutely marvellous. We would recommend this house.

A nice house at the lake

We really enjoyed staying at this property. And the view of the lake from the living room was always very beautiful. There is a great pub and two shops for all necessities in Whitegate near by. The property is perfect if you want to explore the Lough Derg.

A family reunion

We traveled from the US for a Family Reunion in Tipperary; this location was lovely in County Clare as it was close to many sights we wanted to see. A serene, lake setting, peaceful and quiet with excellent communication with the landlord. We had all ages, and a good time was had by all, the house setting let everyone do their own thing.
