A basic but comfortable house. Beautiful location 5 minutes walk from a lovely beach. Close to Clifton but bear in mind the sky road is narrow and popular so you have to wait for other vehicles to pass. We enjoyed the local beach but explored others too. A walk up to the sky road view point was beautiful. Letterfrack had an excellent walk up DiamRead moreond Hill, a great Woodford pizza place and lovely little bookshop cafe. Note: no WiFi or dishwasher. Hide

Lots of room- and very comfortable beds. Cozy and bright front room, and the dvds kept the kids amused during rainy days. Plenty of pots, crockery etc, towels etc. next to a beautiful beach - very relaxing stay.
