A Lovely Place
Posted Sep. 11, 2024 on HomeAwayOther reviews are perfect examples of this place. Was so nice, so clean and comfortable for our young kids and grandparents. Layout of the house is great. And they have the best toys for children. Jim and Annie were great hosts and went out of their way to ensure our stay was wonderful. We would definitely stay here again.

Mountshannon Respite
Posted Sep. 1, 2024 on HomeAwayThis beautiful home tucked away from the village exceeded expectations;
An immaculate home with a tranquil view,
fully appointed with anything you’ll need
And an attentive and gracious host.

Wonderful place to explore Lough Derg and even Cliffs of Mohr
Posted Aug. 8, 2024 on HomeAwayThis home is a wonderful base to explore Lough Derg and even the Cliffs of Mohr. It is spacious, light, has a great connection to the outdoors, is well maintained and very clean. The hosts, Jim and Annie couldn’t be more gracious with a nice welcome , thoughtful local snacks and coffee/tea and great recommendations for exploring the area if you’d like them. Wonderful stay!

perfect Ireland trip
Posted Aug. 3, 2024 on HomeAwayThis is probably the best place to stay in Ireland...the area is just gorgeous with great hikes and a beautiful lake, the local pub is an easy walk and really nice, plus there are several other nearby options, it's really not that far for day trips to the cliffs of Moher, Galway, Adare, Limerick, though you probably need a car and someone who is used to driving on the left side on small roads. The place itself is actually nicer than the pictures, beautiful open spaces, comfortable, great view of the lake and mountains from the yard. Jim the host works hard to make sure you have everything you need. I don't have any downsides to mention, all around really a special trip.

Great wheelchair accessible stay
Posted Jul. 14, 2024 on HomeAwayWe selected this lovely house in Mountshannon as it is all on the one level and indicated that it was wheelchair accessible. Our son uses a power wheelchair and it isn’t easy to find a suitable holiday home in Ireland. While this house isn’t fully adapted it worked very well for our son. Our host, Jim, was extremely accommodating and ensured there was a shower chair available and one of the showers worked fine for our son. One of the double bedrooms and adjacent bathroom was also very suitable for his powerchair. There are some steps between decking levels outside but there are lots of options for accessing them from inside the house as there are plenty of doors.
The overall house is beautiful, very clean and well cared for with some lovely personal touches such as Jim’s own photos of the local countryside very nicely framed on the walls. There is an excellent laundry/utility room, a well stocked library with lots of guide books, local restaurant information etc. Mountshannon is a lovely quiet village with at least two great places for good food “The Snug” (lovely tapas, pizzas and wines served by very friendly staff), “Cois na hAbhna” (substantial and very tasty pub food, great mash and veg and also very nice staff). Also a good selection of eating options further afield in Whitegate, Scarriff and Killaloe. The small beach at Mountshannon harbour is a great place to take a swim in the lake. This is a really lovely location from which to tour around East Clare.

A beautiful spot
Posted Jun. 30, 2024 on HomeAwayHouse and location are even better than advertised. A completely modern home that is spotless. We had a couple minor issues and our host was incredibly responsive, which is all you can ask for. Great house, great host and a 2-minute drive down to lovely Mountshannon.

Perfect vacation!
Posted Jun. 12, 2024 on HomeAwayFrom the beginning to the end our stay at Jim and Annies house, everything was just perfect!! We loved coming back after a long day of a sightseeing and unwinding there. We have traveled often and stayed at many AirB&Bs, but this is by far one of our favorites! They even stocked the fridge with staples and snacks and delicious bottles of wine!! Also Jim drove us to town for supplies the very first day as we didn’t have our car yet! Can’t wait to go back and visit them again someday!

Amazing property and wonderful host!
Posted Jun. 6, 2024 on HomeAwayI cannot say enough about the location, cleanliness and quality of this home! Close to Lough Derg and tolerable drive to cliffs of Moher, the burren and many other sites. Jim is an amazing host an made sure the home was well stocked for our arrival!
I highly recommend this home!

Beautiful
Posted May 11, 2024 on HomeAwayThe host was so accommodating. Our flight was actually canceled and he offered to pick up our friends that day and made them feel so welcome. The property is BETER than the pictures. You are in the center to all of Ireland. Beautiful views … we had sheep out side our door. The house was spotless and had everything you needed and then some. The grounds were also outstanding. Looking forward to next year. Thank you Jim, Annie and Flurry ….
