Located on the shores of Lough Derg, this recently refurbished home offers you a fantastic opportunity to leave behind the daily grind and relax and recharge among the ancient limestone landscapes of County Clare. With three bedrooms – one twin and two king-sized – the layout is perfect for a multi-generational family getaway or a remote retreat with a group of friends. The interior benefits from an open layout that allows light to flow in through the French doors and skylights, and heat from the fire to warm it. When the weather's set fair, step through the French doors and onto the patio. We can think of little better than spending long summer evenings sitting around the outdoor dining table, tucking into local produce cooked on the barbecue. Meanwhile, at the other end of the home, the elegant bedrooms take inspiration from the surroundings, offering a soothing sanctuary and either lake or countryside views, depending on which one you select. Nearby, West Lake Aqua Park and the adjoining coffee shop offer a family-friendly day of epic adventure just ten minutes away. The promise of hot drinks and tasty treats to refuel afterwards is just the icing on the cake. If you haven't... had your fill of sweet delights, Wildes Chocolate Shop is just a few miles in the opposite direction. Finally, East Clare Golf Club will serve up a challenge to even the most seasoned golfers. A little over an hour west lies Clare's rugged coastline, where spectacular cliffs drop sharply into the wild Atlantic at Moher. We'd suggest walking a small section of the Wild Atlantic Way before hunkering down in a pub to sup a pint and listen to some traditional Irish music.

About Ireland
The population of the Republic of Ireland sits close to five million, yet in 2019, it welcomed over nine-and-a-half million tourists. Why could that be? It might be tempting to put it down to the naturally friendly disposition of the Irish (one of the most widely known Gaelic phrases, ‘céad míle fáilte’, translates as ‘a hundred thousand welcomes’), but there’s a little more to it than that.
