This is a traditional stone cottage, set in one of the most beautiful parts of County Clare, amidst rolling hills and serenely peaceful lakes. An opportunity to experience rural country life in Ireland, with neighbours that have lived and farmed here for generations.
It's a place for retreat, with a meditation room upstairs, and music room. One large double bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and homely living room. Heated by a multi-fuel stove, infrared heaters .
The cottage is built on glacial rocks, and there are huge erratics in the garden that once travelled unknown distances before being deposited by glaciers. A geologist's dream.
The cottage is quite dark inside like most stone cottages on the west of Ireland, but if the stove is kept in, it's wonderfully warm, cosy and atmospheric.
Located 15 minutes drive from the lively town of Gort, and 1 hour's drive from Shannon airport, and Galway city, it offers peace and quiet and also proximity to some of the best culture in Ireland. County Clare is home to traditional Irish music and dancing which can be regualarly enjoyed in the local pubs.
House sitters need to be able to carry wood and coal for the stove which demands attention and understanding unlike the cat who is quite self-sufficent.
I'm looking for a couple or single person to look after my cat .Transport essential but my car may be available.
WiFi provided through a mobile hotspot which works well most of the time. SmartTV in sitting room. Red squirrels in the garden.
