Half a millennium of history is present in this late medieval tower house, now an oasis of warmth and tranquillity. Liscannor flags, turf-burning fireplaces, ancient oak, and sympathetic furnishings are all evidence of a careful and loving restoration, which has not compromised the authenticity of this remarkable building.
There are fine views across the amazing landscape of the Burren.
Please note: the wonderful curving stone staircase would not suit very small children or those with walking disabilities.
Accommodation:
6 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms accommodating up to eight guests.
Well-equipped kitchen and dining area on ground floor. Guest WC. Stone spiral steps lead to the other rooms, with the impressive Great Hall (perfect for dining) and a second small kitchen on the top level. Arrangements can be made to have dinner prepared by local chefs.
Bedrooms: Two large double rooms, both with king size beds (one with a waterbed) is en suite. Two small twin rooms. Two bathrooms (with showers, not baths). Whilst the water supply will cope with several showers at a time guests may need to stagger the times of ablutions!
In addition to central heating, turf burning stoves provide extra heating for the large rooms.
