“Skellig Ard house is a beautiful, spacious house situated in a lovely quiet cul de sac.”

It had 3 shower / bathrooms which was great for our party of 7. Super, big , enclosed garden for the dogs. The house was situated right in the beautiful village of Clonbur and next door to the house was the proprietor's hotel which provided us with entertainment and food. Mr Lynch who owned both house and hotel was very friendly and helpful with any questions about the house. His staff were all very welcoming and friendly.
