We are privileged to live surrounded by woodlands, lakes and rivers, which allows you to go for walks without having to take the car. There is good fishing, swimming and picnicking/BBQ in the area. The road nearby is quiet. At the same time, we are well communicated. Gort is the closest village (5km) and it has several supermarkets and a couple of tasteful cafes and pubs. Live music and traditional music festivals are on the agenda for Gort every summer. Irelands main appeal is its traditional music and its amazing landscapes, and the craic with people of course! The Burren is a stones throw from here and you'll be passing through many charming little villages that are worth a visit. We do recommend a car since public transport doesn't reach most of the sights. We are right between Galway and Limerick, two cities of great cultural interest. Please ask us anything we may have left out!
