Serene Setting

We very much enjoyed our stay - the house is homey and decorated beautifully, the surroundings peaceful with the occasional call of cuckoos in the morning. The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, dishes etc. and the beds very comfortable. The back roads to the location were a bit tricky, but our host guided us in. Located about an hour north of Shannon twenty minutes from the Cliffs of Moher, and just a few minutes from Ennistymon (be sure to see the waterfall there,) it was an ideal homebase for our trip.

A few concerns

The house is excellent and in a wonderful area. giving good access to the whole of Clare. Beds very comfortable. Just a few details which disappointed - the shower in the main bedroom was very difficult to control and the cold water tap in the second bedroom did not work at all. The kitchen is poorly equipped - too few food preparation crockery and sharp knives, and one of the plug points does not work. The missing light over the sink needs to be replaced. There were too few towels and tea towels. It would have been helpful to have better location details in addition to the Eirecode, which does not work on our satnav! I found the property on Google earth, otherwise we might still be looking In spite of the above we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Silence and Solitude...and a sprained ankle

I chose this home in the country for some silence and solitude and it was perfect. I did do a bit of driving but that is a joy when in the west of Ireland. You can hear the sheep and cows from Mary's house and Ennistymon is just 2 miles away with its quaint bookstores and coffee shops. It was an amazing stay except for the sprained ankle I received on day 3 in the Burren. Mary (the owner) and her friend who lives close by (Mary) were wonderful. When I called inquiring about where to go for an x-ray, both Mary's came to the house with ice, wraps, crutches and a boot! The Mary who lives close by gave up half a day to drive me and wait several hours at nearby Injury clinic. I am VERY GRATEFUL. I lit a fire many evenings although it was June (it cooled off in the evenings) and found the beds very comfortable. I would do it all over again-including the ankle- it was that special!

Traumhafte Weihnachtstage.

Wir wurden von Mary am 2. Weihnachtstag schon mit Geschenken begrüßt und haben uns sofort in das weihnachtlich geschmückte Haus verliebt. Alles ist sehr liebevoll gestaltet und wir haben die langen Abende am offenen Kamin sehr genossen. Mary war jederzeit für uns erreichbar ,( bei unserem kleinen Problem mit dem W-Lan) und wir fühlten uns auf der Ashbrook Farm sehr wohl. Es ist tatsächlich so hübsch wie die Bilder versprechen.... Vielen Dank nochmal an Mary!

Perfect Location

We had a lovely two week stay in this beautiful home just outside of Ennistymon. The home had three bedrooms and four baths which was luxurious for Ireland. A short drive into town was not difficult to get immediate requirements. Our check in was brief and we did wish that we had written instructions as to how to manage the radiators and the water heater timers. Between our jet lag flying from California and Marie’s gorgeous Irish accent, we seemed to have not listened carefully! The front room fireplace was perfect to gather around in the evening after our outings and the home’s location…in the country but close to the Burren, Cliffs of Moher, Galway, Tipperary and only three hours drive to Dublin was outstanding. The kitchen fireplace apparently smoked and we we advised not to use it. Over all, a wonderful stay in a lovely home!

Home away from home Five Stars!

I’ve stayed in many short term rentals and Maires' place is one of the best. The house is minutes drive to Ennistymon and Lahinch, in a peaceful setting. Comfortable beds are far and few between and this home has 3 very comfortable, oversized beds, which my family really appreciated. It’s a very roomy house with a dedicated office. The home is spotless and fully equipped with everything you might need. We loved being here, cooking meals in the large kitchen and evenings sitting by the open fire. Maire and Mary were very responsive to all our needs and couldn’t have been more welcoming. I highly recommend to groups or families and will definitely be back.

Damn fine farm

Can't sing high enough praises. Exactly as advertised, VERY comfortable house and beds. 5-10 minute drive into Ennistymon for groceries, pubs and restaurants. Feels good to stay away from the fray by Cliffs of Moher/ Doolin. Drive into Ennis totally worth it, great sites and shops without the big city idiocy. Plenty to see and do in the area - we drove up to Cleggan to catch a ferry to Inisbofin. Beautiful remote island that was more interesting and enjoyable than the Aran Isles - definitely take a tour with Billy! Máire's cottage is a showcase of how comfortable, welcoming and beautiful that Ireland can be😁.

Ireland Vacation

This was the first time my kids and I had been out of the United States. I was fortunate enough to have selected such a wonderful home for us to stay in. The location of the property was secluded and away from the "hustle & bustle" of typical vacation sites. My grandson had an amazing time with the donkeys on site as well as being able to wonder the property and explore. The peace and quiet plus the beautiful scenery was exactly what we all needed. The location of the property is within driving distance to many attractions that we wanted to visit. The home itself was beautiful, clean, and up to date. There was more than enough room for the 7 of us staying there. The property owner & manager were so very kind and helpful. Even to the point of coming into town to get us when we first arrived and ended up lost. I would recommend this property to anyone that would appreciate the beauty it has to offer. Our stay in Ireland was everything we could have dreamed of, due to us having such a wonderful place to call home during our visit.

A perfect holiday getaway!

I stayed at the property with my wife and our two daughters in August and we couldn’t have picked a better place. The home is on a private farm just a tiny bit off the beaten path and mere minutes from the center of Ennistymon or Lahinch. It’s a perfect launching point for anywhere in the area. The property itself is gorgeous. Three donkeys share the property and are friendly and ready for carrots from their fenced in pasture just steps from the front door. The house is incredibly cozy and well appointed and felt exactly what we were looking for in an Irish eacape - a real Irish farmhouse with all the modern amenities. The owner greeted us upon arrival with fireplaces blazing and a bottle of wine. As we drove all around Clare during our stay, we didn’t come across a single location we would rather have stayed. I give this home the highest recommendation on all fronts. My family and I loved it and really hope to return to both Clare and this particular home in the near future!

Unbelievable Experience

From the photos and description, we knew something about Ashbrook Farm. However, it far exceeded our expectations. What a delightful stay we had. We were there for about three weeks. The farmhouse itself has been lovingly restored by the owner, Máire. Everything about it reflects her style and taste. We were a short drive from Ennistymon and not far at all from the beach and Lahinch. We used this as a base of operations to explore County Clare. Getting to know that part of Ireland as well as meeting with Máire were all highlights of our trip. We will definitely return!

Gorgeous views and quiet country estate

Maire met us in town the first day to lead us up to the house which was so helpful in our jet lagged condition. We had stunning weather the whole week and donkeys were back after the first few days. ( Moved to different water source as drought going on). We were close to a variety of activities and enjoyed just relaxing at the house too. The rooms in the house are larger that the pictures indicate so that was a pleasant surprise. Highly recommend a stay here in you want to be close to County Clare sites but not in a town setting.

Nice house, beautiful views, a few quirks

The house was very clean upon arrival, nicely furnished and decorated and had beautiful surrounding views. A few things to note: - the plumbing is quirky - toilets don't always flush, water pressure in shower not great and water in shower does not always get or stay hot. - we came back from an outing one day to find some of the electricity not working - after searching all over, found out the circuit breaker box was above the front door in the foyer- something to be aware of in case you need it - we were sleeping at 11:30 one night when the house alarm went off - blaring a deafening noise. Make sure you are supplied the alarm code to shut it off (we had to contact the owner to get it) - the donkeys were not there the entire week we were there, so that is not a guarantee - make sure you are aware that you need to leave 100 euro in an envelope for cleaning upon departure

Our Second Irish Adventure

We returned to Ashbrook Farm again this October for our second trip to Ireland. Once again this beautiful home with its Irish country charm served as a great home base for our adventures around the Emerald Isle. This home is comfortable, beautifully decorated and comes with 2 adorable donkey's and cats to visit with daily. Just a short drive in to town where you will find pubs, tasty restaurants and everything you could need. We were also close to wonderful sights like the Cliffs of Moher, Doolin and much more. If you are planning a trip to Ireland and you are looking for a great rental property, you should definitely put this one at the top of your list!

Very Lovely Farm Home

My family of 5 had a great stay at this farm cottage. It seemed to have impeccable maintenance and was spotless. All the firewood you needed for relaxing was available. Donkeys were cute -- fed them some carrots. My wife told me this was by far the most interesting and beautiful place we have ever stayed in Europe. It is a bit out of the way, so expect a little driving to get there. But that also means it was quiet and peaceful. Overall, a wonderful experience. I would recommend for anyone.

We had a relaxing time at Maire's place. It was a wonderful home with a beautiful garden. Very relaxing and the donkeys were a delight to feed. We spent the week visiting the Cliffs, Doolin, Ennis, Liscannor and the Ring of Kerry. It was the perfect place to have a cup of tea and sit around the fire to chat. The home has everything you need to enjoy the west of Ireland...

Charming Irish Country Farm!!

We stayed at Ashbrook Farm in October 2016 for 7 nights. Mary provides a wonderful Irish country experience. Her home is spotlessly clean, warm and inviting. Beautifully decorated and all the necessities provided. Close to everything and logistically the perfect location for daily adventures. We were a group of 4 adults and were very comfortable. We ended our trip with a few days in Dublin. If you are looking for a charming, relaxing authentic Irish experience....Ashbrook Farm is the place. Thank you Mary, we home to return soon to continue the adventure.
