This was the perfect house for my family of six…two couples and two young adults. The location was great as we explored all of western Ireland over nine days. After traveling each day, the town had plenty of restaurant options to choose from. The house was clean, well stocked and Ken was an amazing host, communicating well throughout the entire process! We especially loved sitting outside on the back patio enjoying the lake view in the evenings.

We had a wonderful time staying in this beautiful home. The location was close to the center of town where we enjoyed various restaurants, pubs and coffee shops. Our host, Kenneth, was very accessible and checked in with us a few times to make sure we were comfortable and to answer any questions that we had about the home. We would definitely consider returning in the future.

A beautiful home in a beautiful location

Stayed in this home in late July and it was perfect for my family vacation. Centrally located it provided easy access to many of Ireland's most beautiful and interesting sites. The home itself was large, clean, had plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms, and close to a market and pubs. Ken was extremely helpful and gracious. Would highly recommend this home.

Great house

Would thoroughly recommend this home to stay for a large family, there was plenty of space for our family group of 6 adults and one child. The property was clean and tastefully decorated and had everything we needed for our stay. The outside space was great, we enjoyed using bbq and dining on the decking area which had a large table to seat us all. Also loved sitting in the lounge looking out at the wonderful view over the lake. The location was great too as all amenities were an easy walk away.

Perfect house and venue

Not much to say, everything great, more like a house swap so you have everything you need, unlike some rentals where there is minimum of some items like pots and pans, sharp knives etc. A short walk by the lake into town for restaurants, coffee and ice cream! Will book again.

About the host

Hosted by Kenneth Rice

Host profile image
We are a couple who are based in Dublin. Ken is a musician and Ann Marie is a TV producer. To us, Killaloe is a home from home and we love to spend as many weekends as we can here. The location of the house is perfect, as it is quiet, surrounded by greenery and wildlife while never feeling isolated, being close to wonderful neighbours and the villages of Ballina and Killaloe, with their thriving shops, restaurants and pubs. The river/lake and the hills of Clare and Tipperary are always there to be explored and sometimes just to be enjoyed from the deck for their beauty. The only downside is that we never have enough time to spend here!

Why they chose this property

A beautiful modern comfortable spacious property with lake views and large deck. Quiet and private but just minutes walk from the bustling historic twin towns of Ballina and Killaloe.
