Guests say

The Merchant's House in Kilrush is highly praised for its central location, comfort, and the hospitality of the host, Paul. Guests enjoyed the proximity to local amenities, the charm of the restored property, and the town's friendly atmosphere. The house served as a great base for exploring West Clare and the Wild Atlantic Way.

Most guests found the house clean and tidy, contributing to a pleasant stay. One mention of a frosted freezer with old food slightly impacts the score.

The location is consistently praised for being central, within walking distance to pubs and restaurants, and a great starting point for exploring the region.

Guests found the property comfortable, with special mentions of a comfortable bed and a homely feel, indicating a high level of satisfaction.

Facilities are generally well-regarded, though there are some concerns about the condition of kitchen equipment and the steepness of stairs, which suggests room for improvement.

While the host's hospitality is frequently mentioned, there are no specific references to gifts or special thoughtful touches that could be evaluated under this category.
