A clean and comfortable place to explore the Burren from

We had the honour of being the first paying guests in this property and it was a great find! There is a separate entrance and stairway leading to the upper floor of the house where the rooms are. There are two large ensuite rooms which are a mirror image of one another, with a large double (or queen) bed and a single bed in each. There are also two comfortable chairs. The bathroom is large with a walk in shower. All of the bedding and towels are of good quality (with really big bath towels). Between the rooms, there is a well stocked kitchen with fridge/freezer, microwave, airfryer, coffee maker, kettle, and toaster - the crockery and cutlery are new and of good quality. Ciara (the owner) generously supplied us with home-made scones and brown bread, jams, marmalade, milk, tea, coffee, breakfast cereals and more! With the comfortable bed and fresh country air, we had a great sleep each night. And the view from the window of the Burren hills was spectacular. We will certainly stay here next time we are in the Burren.

Highly recommend for a fun and informative adventure in the Burren.

The Burren Electric Bike Tour with e-whizz was fantastic! The route took us through stunning landscapes, past historic sites and along scenic boreens. The map and directions provided were clear and easy to follow and the bikes were in fantastic condition and easy to use. The whole experience was really enjoyable.

The best way to see the Burren!

A fantastic day cycling around the Burren. Janet convinced us not to take our originally planned route and offered one more off the beaten track where we got to see a lot more of the Burren itself. Thank you Janet!

Fantastic way to see The Burren!

This was amazing! My husband and I had such a great time - we booked a trip on a week when our 3 tween-agers were at camp but they easily could have done this trip (and we actually ended up finding a different ebike tour to take them on in a different part of Ireland closer to our home base and they LOVED it). We opted for the self-guided trip just because of scheduling but would have loved to have taken one of Janet's guided tours. As it was, she gave us great suggestions of where to go - definitely go to Caherconnell! The equipment was awesome - I usually hate biking in the rain back home but with the ebikes I just had a permanent grin the whole time!

A favorite activity in our trip

This was an uncomparable opportunity to get into the Burren, so much better than any bus tour or drive-by. The equipment was top notch so the hills were no problem for us even tho we are "old." The support from the vendor was great; they even including a first aid kit in the saddlebag.
