‘Breathtaking panorama from a beautiful holiday house’
‘ fine picture window for a magnificent view across Clew Bay.’
‘ Across the bay is a fine view of the Reek dominated by Croagh Patrick, while to the left are the numerous little islets – drowned drumlins in the sea, remnants of Ireland’s glaciated past. This whole panorama represents a marvellous view – totally unique!’
‘ it was lovely to sit at breakfast and see the play of light and shadow across this magnificent stretch of water, ever changing always different. A truly special place, to balm to the soul. ‘
