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.

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.

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.

Our vacation consisted of 2 families, 5 adults and 4 children. The home was very comfortable for all of us. And had all the comforts of home. We loved how central the home was to all the cities we visited, Galway, Cork, Dingle Peninsula, Roscommon, Cliffs of Moher, Doolin and Aillwee Experience! Thank you Gillian and allowing us to stay at your beautiful 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.

This home was perfect for our family of 10. It is a beautiful house with a serene and private setting. The host was very generous in leaving "necessities" for both the kitchen and bathrooms, I highly recommend this home and host to anyone.

We had a wonderful time staying at Gillian's property in Newmarket on Fergus. It was very quiet and comfortable for our family group of eight. The house is equipped with all the necessities and quite a few extras. Communication with Gillian was great prior to and during our stay. The house is close to Bunratty Castle and the Quin Abbey (built in early 1400's). The town of Ennis, about 20 minutes away, has shopping, great restaurants & nightlife. It is a relatively short drive to Cliffs of Moher & Doolin as well as the ferry to the Aran Islands. We would stay here again if our travels bring us back to Ireland.

A lovely peaceful place to stay. As said by other reviewers the photos don't do it justice and are a bit dated. It's more relaxing staying in a family home than a pristine luxury place. There was no shortage of crockery or cutlery and other items you'd expect. The only slight disappointment is that you have to drive to the nearest place to eat. But this is more thanmafe up by the location. Access to the Lough is a very short walk and the children had took great delight in pond dipping there. The garden is a delight and we all enjoyed playing hide and seek. A lovely place to stay.

Relaxing family vacation in a beautiful area
We had a fantastic holiday here. The house has lovely views of the lake and is positioned in a nice area. The house was clean and big with 4 rooms with double beds and 1 room with 2 single beds. The beds are super comfy. The kitchen has everything you need. The property is only a few minutes from Newmarket on Fergus that has a shop and a few restaurants. The larger towns (Ennis, Shannon) are only 15-20 min away.

Cozy country home
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Highly recommend.
The lake is beautiful and the ruins of the church down the street made for a lovely after dinner exploration with the family. It is a very picturesque and peaceful place. There are also several things to do nearby. We visited Limerick, Bunratty Castle, the Bronze Age village (craggonouen?) Quinn Abbey, Ennis and the Cliffs of Moher.
The home is a bit dated, but very comfortable. Really, it only added to the ambience. A few things broke, but the host was AMAZING and so helpful and kind. We really loved staying here. It was very homey, and cozy, and we had lots of big family dinners and cozy nights in the living room with the fire. There were even a few toys lying around for my 3 yo daughter to stay entertained. And the big TV had all the channels and subscriptions you could want, and most importantly my daughters favorite show.
Thanks to the host for a lovely stay. Highly recommend.

Great vacation!
We loved the location since we rented a car and we could reach all of our desired sites to visit in < a 2 hr drive any direction for our day trips. Plenty of room and things to do to keep the kids busy. We'd recommend it greatly!

We were a group of aerialists attending a training week close by, the house could not have been more kitted out. Everything we looked for was there, it was really a home away from home. We have already recommended this place as somewhere to stay to our friends who regularly need a place to stay.

We had a wonderfully beautiful and peaceful stay at the home. The house is comfortable and warm; with gorgeous views and very near to amenities, but just far enough away to have serenity.

Gillian was an excellent host. We had several questions ( also because of covid) and she responded always right away.
The house is lovely and very spacious, perfect for a family. It is in a very quiet area. We could see a lake when we sat outside.
Gillian gave us excellent directions and we had an easy time finding the house. There are also many brochures at the house with great information about day trips in the area.
Thank you, Gillian. We had a wonderful stay.
