SilverStone House sits at the water's edge in Killaloe - a stone cottage over a century old, restored without losing the character that made it worth saving. Exposed walls, flagstone floors, and a wood-burning stove that fills the room with warmth on cool evenings. The real heart of the place is the timber deck extending out over the River Shannon, where fishing boats pass at eye level and summer mornings arrive glassy calm.

"Woke up to the sound of the river and the glow of the stove. The most peaceful few days we've had in years."

You're a two-minute walk from Ballina and Goosers bar, and just as close to St Flannan's Cathedral and the start of the Lough Derg Way. Walkers, kayakers, cyclists - they all find their way here. Or you can simply watch the water and let the river do the work.

Everything you need.

Goosers Bar & Eating House
Just across the old bridge in Ballina. Proper pub food, a terrace on the river, and the sort of atmosphere that makes you lose track of time.

Heritage
St Flannan's Cathedral
A 12th-century cathedral built where Brian Boru's palace once stood. The Romanesque doorway is one of the finest in Ireland - and it's free.
