Beautiful home with vista
We really enjoyed our long weekend in Ballina at the home of Eilis and Brian. It is a super house with a fabulous view of Lough Derg from the rear of the house. It is located only a 15min walk from the bridge over the river which is very convenient to enjoy a walk around the towns on either side. The house itself had lots of toys for our 2 young kids which they had great fun discovering in the walk-in wardrobe of their room -lots of time well spent playing happily ! Would definitely recommend and a great base for trips around Clare, Limerick and the west coast.

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
Situated on the banks of the River Shannon, the twin villages of Ballina and Killaloe are amongst one of Ireland's most picturesque attractions & link the counties of Tipperary and Clare. Killaloe was in fact the capital of Ireland in 1014 under the control of the High King Brian Boru.
The village of Ballina, (pop. 1200) County Tipperary, is located in the 'mid-west' of Ireland, just 35 minutes from Shannon International Airport and 25 minutes from Limerick, Ireland's third largest city.
The village and area has all the amenities that you would expect to find in an Irish village, with a range of boutiques, wellness centres and historical sites.
The village contains a supermarket, hardware, chemist, dry cleaners, petrol stations, florist, fishing tackle shop, and much more besides, all within walking distance.
The village boasts a varied selection of places to eat, from hotels, a Chinese restaurant that also serves takeaway, a chip shop, and many fine restaurants.
