Guestbook
Just to say thank you for allowing us to use your wonderful home. We have had a great holiday, what a beautiful relaxing spot. The weather was fabulous, Fanore beach provided lots of fun and a great day out to the Aran Islands (on a rather windy day!) completed our holiday.
Just a quick email to say how much we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at your beautiful home in the Burren. We all had such a wonderful time there that we are thinking of making it an annual family holiday. The views from the house were exquisite and the local scenery was breathtaking. The house itself is stunning and a credit to you.
We have just returned from our travels in the South West of Ireland and we had a wonderful holiday, made even better because of the superb weather. Your house was beautiful and we all had a relaxing time there. It is in a lovely area and very close to the two villages and of course the Burren. We enjoyed Doolin and the music in the pubs, but just as enjoyable was sitting on the patio at night just taking in the scenery. I am sure that we will be returning in the future. Thank you for all your help,
