Fabulous week at Shannon. Breathtaking views and lovely country walks on the door step for the dog! We all really loved the house and all the space it provided, great for our extended family. The outdoor decking/balcony was a wonderful addition for breakfasts and sunbathing too! Thanks so much, would love to return!

We had a great time at Shannon. It was very clean and well equipped. Good location and great view from the verandah and upstairs bedroom. Also great sunsets. Steve and his wife were helpful. The only downside was no steps into garden from verandah. You had to go out front door and round the side. But this didn't stop the grand children enjoying the garden.
