"The Bird's Nest" is a stone built former cow barn dating from the 1700s with a modern second floor. A short walk to a lovely beach on Lough Derg, it's an ideal spot for fishing, kayaking, swimming, walking routes, great local restaurants/pubs and a whole lot of relaxing. Surrounded by fields and woodland with a private garden area and use of the veg garden, you will be sure to unwind if you want to stay local. Easy access to Galway, The Burren, Ennis and Limerick. Fast WiFi. No pets, sorry.

I live in the main cottage with one or both of my sons, 4 hens, 4 cats and wild Irish honey bees in the roof.

During your stay

I am around most of the time and the main cottage where I live is right across the yard from The Bird's Nest. If you need help with anything, don't hesitate to ask (between 9am - 8pm generally). Guests should be aware that I work in the garden regularly and cross in front of the guest house to reach the utility room so there is a strong chance you will meet either myself or my sons outside your front door. Guests will have a private garden area around the back of the guest house that is screened from the main garden and you will only meet one of us there if maintenance is required from time to time during your stay. Otherwise, that area is all your's but you are also free to wander in the wider garden area, enjoy the space and interact with whoever is there if wished.

Please note: Our cats are extremely friendly and very fond of beds. Please try not to let them in!
