The hazel has to be one of the ultimate finds in County Clare,Ireland. The converted stone horse,cow, and pig barn is a page out of cable HGTV. You need to remove your shoes when you enter and for good reason! The online pictures do not do the decorating justice. The living room/dining area is comfortable and cozy with a good size sofa and chair. The loft is an extra sleeping area. It is the place any one of us would build if it were our own home.
There are 2 bedrooms at each end of the property. The one I slept in ,besides a comfortable new mattress and elegant sheets, had a view that was priceless. Outside you viewed the Aran Islands to the left, even on a somewhat typical Irish weather day; Galway and Galway bay in the middle with the Connemora Mountains in the background on a clear day; and the Limestone Burren on the right. A glass of wine or afternoon tea was breathtaking.
The all new kitchen had all the amenities: 2 French press coffee makers; an expresso maker; new electric tea pot; 4 piece toaster ; and new Bosch oven .The refrigerator had a small welcome gift of salmon,cheese and wine.
As I said the owner built this property as if he lived there. The property has a gate and a security system to boot.The internet is limited at best in Western Ireland. It will work well in certain areas and not in others in County Clare. Remember this is a vacation.
This location is ideal for 2 couples and no kids. Book soon before the word gets out just among my friends.
