Lakeside retreat with the lot...

This property was breathtaking, the views incredible and the location so quite. This property had everything and then some, it felt like home. Our host had thought of everything comfort warmth, space and entertainment. Our kids had a ball running around the backyard and playing the huge variety of board games, and the large spacious kitchen with a wood burner was just what we needed to reconnect and recharge for the next adventure. The location of this place was close enough to a small village to gather supplies, not to mention close to the amazing living past of Craggaunowen and Quinn Abby tavern which has delicious family meals, so good we went there twice. This is a beautiful slice of country lakeside living, thank you for our stay.

Family vacation in Ireland

The house is in a perfect location to see the majority of sites on the western side of Ireland. It’s quiet, with plenty of privacy, nestled next to a lake filled with wildlife. Will definitely stay at the house again if I come back to visit Ireland.

Une belle semaine d'automne

Quelle base parfaite pour découvrir le comté de Clare, le Burren, l'estuaire de la Shannon...! Nous étions une famille nombreuse (5 enfants), la maison était parfaitement équipée pour nous. Nous y avons beaucoup apprécié le calme des alentours du lac.

Large home in quiet countryside

The house had everything we could need and more. It was very spacious and had plenty of room for our cousins who live nearby to visit as well. It was a great central point for the west of Ireland to do day trips from as well. Grateful to have stayed here and the host was very quick to respond

The home is great for a large family or small family reunion. The kitchen has everything you need. Located on a quite, country road. The yard is spacious and has nice views of the lake. Great for day trips to many sites and only 15-20 to SNN.

Majestic home away from home

Our party of seven adults 25 -59 and expressed the beauty, cleanliness, size, & location of this property. Very quiet and peaceful. The view from the patio was perfect with the morning coffee or to watch the swan. Neighborhoods were friendly, Although we did not see a lot of them, The few we did see were very nice. Prepare for very, very narrow roads with fast drivers. If you plan to bring children, they would love this. There’s a Huge yard front and back. It is within close proximity to some really nice/fun attractions. The price was 100% worth it. It was not as pricey as others. We were fortunate that we received very little rain. And the rain that we did get was not during the times we needed it to be sunny so that worked out perfectly. If I was to come back to this part of Ireland, I would 100% stay here again. The host was very nice and accommodating. area, where Dairy Queen lots to see

Wonderful

We were more than pleased with our stay in this lovely, spacious, clean, well equiped and well situated home with beautiful views in the heart of Ireland where there are so many sites to visit. Our thanks and gratitude go out to Gill, the owner, who made every effort to make our stay comfortable, enjoyable and problem free. Although we were all adults this property is also very well suited to families with children who will have fun in the large well kept garden. Thums up and a definate recomendation!

Amazing Property

My wife and I cancelled our hotels and booked this house for 7 days and it was so amazing that we booked and extra day and changed our flights to fly out of Shannon instead of driving back up to Northern Ireland and taking ferry back to Edinburgh. We are coming back to Ireland in 2027 and will definitely try to book this beautiful home again. We took day trips to Dublin etc. Gillian was great.

Convenient location for west Ireland adventure

My wife, our daughter, her significant other, and our two grandsons travelled to Ireland for a 5 night stay, followed by 4 days in England. For our time in Ireland, we booked our stay at this property at New ark et on Fergus, as it was centrally located for our day trips to the west and southwest regions of Ireland. The property was close to the Shannon airport, close to pubs, and grocery stores, and reasonably close to access to the motorways. We spent most of our days driving around Ireland, so the home was used primarily for sleeping, and a quick bite to eat in the morning before beginning our day’s adventure, and for our purposes, the property was just right. The property was clean and properly prepared prior to our arrival, the host provided written instructions for getting to the home from the airport, as well as all of the information needed to get into the home, the wifi password, how to operate the television, and so on. Overall, everything worked out just as we had hoped. Just wish we had a few more days to spend in Ireland - it was delightful.

Haus am See für erholsame Tage

Großzügiges Haus im Grünen mit großem Erholungsfaktor. Das Haus ist ideal, wenn man Ruhe und Abgeschiedenheit sucht und seine Unternehmungen eher auf den mittleren Westen Irlands beschränkt. Wer alle Highlights der Westküste sehen will, muß viel Zeit für lange Autofahrten einkalkulieren.

Newmarket-on-Fergus Ireland

We were two families, 4 adults and 5 children ages 14-6, traveling together to visit Ireland and to see friends and family living in the Ennis and Limerick area. This was a great location as our base. We were able to enjoy cooking breakfasts each morning then spending days exploring wonderful areas, before returning to relax in the evenings. The house was spacious, comfortable, clean, and worked very well for us. We truly enjoyed our stay.

Amazing home

This home was perfect for my family. The location provided easy access for all of the locations we wanted to visit. The house has everything a family could need and a great layout that not only provides areas we could gather as a family but also plenty of space for my wife and I as well as our teenage children to have their privacy. I would highly recommend this home to anyone looking to stay near Limerick and explore western and southern Ireland.
