It was clean, comfortable, well stocked with whatever we needed, with magnificent views of the countryside. The hostess was in constant contact and available if we needed anything. There were many nice touches which we appreciated: a bowl of fruit on the table; coffee, tea, and sugar in the cupboards; pretty decorations to make it feel homey; and more than ample dishes, cups, plates, etc. provided for us. We highly recommend the Shannon View. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit!
