We had a wonderful stay! Gabriel was an attentive host, always quick to respond to any questions. The house is very comfortable, with beautiful artwork and furnishings. We found the kitchen well stocked with everything we needed, and felt right at hone. The town of Ennistymon is very special, and staying here made it more so. I'd love to come back!

We traveled as a family of four and stayed for 5 nights. It was a bit overwhelming at first with all the art and color and furnishings but we enjoyed every bit. Parking was easy, cafes and restaurants close by as well as beautiful hikes and a very short distance to the coast. The kitchen was very well equipped. Thank you Gabriel for opening your home to us. We had a great time in this beautiful house.

This is such a unique stay. If you want to feel like you are staying in a traditional Irish house this is a must!!! It’s a little overwhelming when you first walk in but you’ll learn to love the charm of this place. Must do is to visit Eugene’s pub next door

Wonderful Townhouse in Ennistymon

We absolutely loved our stay at Gabriel’s house. The house is full of fun and eclectic decorations, comfortable and with plenty of room for a family of six. Ennistymon is a charming town and the perfect base for exploring County Clare and beyond.

It will be hard to overstate what we thought of our time at Garbriel's place in Ennistymon. Haran's is truly historic, unique and amazing. Walking in to the bar room you can feel the history of Haran's right away. There are so many little things of interest everywhere you look. From the glasses and bottles in the bar, to the quirky art and pictures, you feel like you could walk around the different parts of the home for hours. We loved the big bright kitchen and spent a lot of time there. The tile floors, amazing window to the back, and huge gas stove/oven made it a great place to cook, eat and hang out for our family of 5. Gabriel made sure there were a few essentials when we arrived with some snacks, pasta and a bottle of wine wating for us! The parlor room upstairs is amazing and the huge bay window overlooking the amazing town is awesome. Ennistymon itself is truly incredible. It has everything you need, and nothing you don't. It is a fun place full of great people. Cooley's and Cullinan's, were fun and memorable. Being 5 minutes from the beach, and 20-30 minutes from the Cliffs of Moher and Doolin was great for day trips. You have to go to Doolin and try the pitch and putt, even if you aren't golfers. The views of the Cliffs are unreal. Also do a Cliffs cruise! We left 2 folding camp chairs we got at Aldi's and I highly recommend you take them and sit on the rocks IN the falls at sunset!! Gabriel's place is perfect in every way. GO IF YOU CAN!

Haran's House

Old refurbished bar and home. A bit musty on first floor of building but second and third floor much better. Adequate furnishings. Although located on the main street, fairly quiet inside the home. We had a great time during our stay.

Wedding Days

We were in Ireland to get married and needed a spot that was relatively close to the Cliffs of Moher. This house was perfect! Plenty of room for us and a great location. Friendly neighborhood with shops within walking distance. Joan and Pat down the street at Cooley’s House are a real treasure and made us feel like family. Can’t wait to go back and we will definitely plan to stay here again!

A fabulous Experience

Staying in this house isn't just a holiday, it's an experience. A wonderful gem on the main street of Ennistymon. This house is also a gallery! Amazing artwork, beautiful furniture & an incredible renovation. A brilliant location too. Only a short journey to Lahinch, Lisvanner, Spanish Point and the cliff. We loved our stay.

Rose of Sharon

We loved our stay and the place!! Gabriel was wonderful to work with, and his communication was excellent. We did this trip as a tribute to our late mother "Sharon", and used Ennistymon as our home base to explore Ireland. It was very convenient to the Cliffs, Lahinch beach, Doolin, the Burren, Aran Islands and many more. We loved being next to Eugene's Pub, and taking in the Irish culture in town. We had 8 guests staying at the property, and it worked brilliantly for everyone.

Hidden Gem in Ennistymon

Gabriel was being modest with the home description it is exquisite. When you open the door you step back in history to a bygone era of comfort and civility. The antique furniture is wonderful and the artwork that covers nearly every wall is eclectic and stunning. The kitchen is wonderfully equipped with everything you need and a giant market up the street can fulfill all your self catering needs. Gabriel answered all of prior questions and even checked in when we arrived to make sure we were happy. The icing on the cake is Eugene's next door, the most friendly and beautiful pub in Ennistymon. This place gets 5 stars because I can't give it 6!

Not really family friendly choice

Although the property is very unique, and clean, it isn’t a very practical stay for families with no washing machine, or TV in sitting room. Building is surrounded by scaffolding awaiting a job, and signs ask that you do not use the windows. CCTV on at all times even when being occupied Upstairs shower leaks all over the floor and comes down through kitchen ceiling Host in very polite and friendly though

Seems that the shower was filled with sand from probably trips to the beach , but most importantly about this is that we were never told about it. One camera pointing towards the front door activated by motion with no view whatsoever of any part of the house , other cameras outside .. It is unfortunate that Carmel did not enjoy her stay . We have not advertised the use of a washing machine in our rental agreement and have never been asked for one before in our five years of holiday rentals . The main gathering room in the house is the converted bar , this while retaining many features of a traditional Irish bar has a television , which has always sufficed . The parlor on the next floor was layed out more so for quite relaxation, reading or listening to music . I believe , in hindsight , that our house was not a good fit for a lively young family spending a lot of time indoors . I am very sad that Carmel and her family did not enjoy our home .

Charming and Just Perfect

What a charming home…we were delighted with the accommodations and our stay in so many different ways. The location was perfect, right in the center of town allowing a true feel for the charm of the people of County Clare. The home is roomy and spacious and decor delightful. Upon our arrival there was a generous selection of snacks and a bottle of wine greeting us…totally unexpected and truly appreciated. Gabriel was so helpful prior to our arrival providing us with suggestions for a welcome dinner we were planning. He was quick to answer communications and always provided thoughtful responses. He was available to assist through the entire process, from our initial inquiry to our last day when we had a question about leaving his home. This couldn’t have been a more perfect place for us to stay and if we ever find ourselves back in Ireland Gabriel will be the first one we will reach out to. Thank you so much Gabriel.

Ein Häuschen mitten im Ort, absolut tolle Lage für Restaurants, Pubs und zum einkaufen. Parken vor dem Haus war fast immer möglich. Das Haus ist ein klassisches altes, renoviertes Reihenhäuschen mit steiler schmaler Treppe, so wie man es in Irland kennt. 1 SZ ist im 1.Stock, die 3 anderen im 2ten. Das (Kinder)-Schlafzimmer hat kein Fenster. Wir haben es nicht benötigt, da wir 1 Person weniger waren als gebucht. Die Betten sind gut und mit Heizdecken versehen.Im Haus wird neben der Zentralheizung wohl gelegentlich der Bollerofen im Eingangsbereich mit Briketts und Holz beheizt. Dieser Geruch hängt ein wenig in den Räumen. Nach ein paar Tagen bemerkt man ihn aber nicht mehr. Die Küche ist gut ausgestattet und bietet Vorräte an Basislebensmitteln wie Tee, Zucker, Mehl etc. Wir fanden bei Anreise ein sehr nettes ‚Welcome‘ auf dem Tisch (Wein, Gebäck etc). Herzlichen Dank dafür!Der Küchentisch ist nicht gross, für 4 gerade ausreichend. Das Haus ist eine prima Basis für einen Besuch dieses Teil von County Clare. Wir können es guten Gewissens empfehlen.

A unique stay - you wont be dissapointed!

Gabriel is a great host - quick and easy communications, and so accommodating of our requests. The welcome basket was a big hit with adults and kids. The property is unique - beautiful art on the walls and treasure trove of interesting books to enjoy during our stay. The location is superb, a lovely little town and short drive to the most beautiful scenery and beaches Ireland...and Europe has to offer. We even received a much loved teddy bear in the post after accidentally leaving it behind us. Id highly recommend a stay here!
