Old Parochial House Cottages
Old Parochial House, Cooraclare, Kilrush,
Co. Clare
Munster,
Ireland
West Clare is steeped in culture, has pubs that swing to traditional music, fabulous countryside, deserted sandy beaches, cliff walks – and friendly easy-going people. None more so than Alyson and Seán in their 1872 former parish priest's house. The main house stands on four acres overlooking the sleepy village of Cooraclare. The old stables, coach house and shibeen have been converted and two stone cottages built in traditional Irish style. All the O'Neills' work is a labour of love expressed in turf fires, stone floors, exposed beams, old artefacts and bags of character. It would be hard to pick a favourite but the open-plan living room in the stables is beautiful, with views over rolling countryside. Lean on your half-door, breathe the heavy gorse-scented air, chat to whomever goes by, take your time. Insects hum, birds sing, goats and pony graze – and there are three pubs in the village with good beer and music, a five-minute stroll. The Cliffs of Moher and the magical Burren are not that far. Come and live the slow life. Just being here will do you a power of good.
