Originally a soldier’s barracks, this property has been brought back to life brick by brick by its dedicated owners, resulting in a large, luxury vacation home available now for rentals. Set in a private and secluded gated Courtyard, this is one of two identical homes. It has four stories. The living areas are all located on the ground floor and the bedrooms are spread over the top three floors. The kitchen and dining area are warm and cosy and bright. This room stretches from the front right through to the back of the building. The dining table is solid oak and can seat up to 10 people. There is a wood burning stove alongside the table so it is a lovely place to gather in the evening and linger over a meal or share some time together. The kitchen is very well equipped and has some of the original features of the house on display. It has all the appliances you will need along with crockery, glassware, cutlery and cooking equipment. It is a kitchen that was made to be used. There is a separate large utility room with a washing machine and dryer. There is also a guest toilet downstairs. The sitting room is comfortable and cosy and features a wood burning stove along with a supply of timber for your stay. This room has a TV and relaxing couches and armchairs – the perfect place to unwind after a day exploring the County of Clare. There are eight bedrooms and each of them is ensuite. There are three king bedrooms on both the second and third floors (so 6 king beds in all) and the 4th floor has two small double rooms – ideal for children which share a bathroom between. Two of the king bedrooms have a small sitting area and TV. There is a beautiful stand-alone bath on each of the floors – a real treat to enjoy during your stay. Although there are 8 bedrooms, we have set the ideal number of people to 10 as that is the number that could most comfortably stay and enjoy the house. Larger groups could also rent the other houses within the courtyard. The Courtyard is shared among the houses and offers plenty of parking right outside your door. At night time the houses are lit up spectacularly. To the rear is the beautifully landscaped shared walled garden area. Filled with flowers and seating here and there, this would be a wonderful place to escape with a good book or newspaper. A private Chef is available on request to cook breakfast, lunch or dinner. This needs to be pre-arranged. Please enquire with us directly if within 6 weeks prior to arrival. For larger groups, the Straw House onsite can be reserved for private dining or for a get-together. Please enquire on booking. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Internet access ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Dishwasher - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 8 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 7 bathrooms - Bathtub - Hair dryer - Shower - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - TV ### Outdoor areas - Garden - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden - Unit size: 4,000 square feet ## Similar properties ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/79000000/78500000/78492800/78492718/d6f859c1.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 8 bedroomed house steeped in history Clarecastle - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Free Wi-Fi 10 Exceptional 7 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-01&endDate=2026-01-02&selected=78492718&PinnedHotelID=78492718&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Living area](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/120000000/119060000/119057500/119057454/827db589.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 4-bedroom house in charming Kinvara Kinvara - Washing machine - Pet-friendly - Air-conditioning 10 Exceptional 1 review [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-01&endDate=2026-01-02&selected=119057454&PinnedHotelID=119057454&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![TV, fireplace](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/111000000/110910000/110905300/110905223/0f95416c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Ballyvara House - a two story that sleeps 28 guests in 11 bedrooms Doolin - Free Wi-Fi - Outdoor space - Parking available - Fireplace 10 Exceptional 1 review [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-01&endDate=2026-01-02&selected=110905223&PinnedHotelID=110905223&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/30000000/29860000/29851300/29851228/1b3abfd4.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Exclusive new 3000 sq. foot vacation home with spectacular ocean views Co.

We made the barricks property our home base for our family group of 9 while exploring Ireland and could not have asked for better accommodations! The restored property is absolutely beautiful! Our lovely host, Marion, shared the rich history of the barricks with us and we were amazed at how much work went into restoring the property. We hired Damien (the chef that was offered to us), to prepare a meal the night of our arrival and his Irish Stew was delicious! He also stocked the kitchen with our requested items, arranged for golf for the guys and took them fishing (he's a fishing guide too!). We loved the local Power's Pub and highly recommend Vesuvio, the take-away fish & chips place just a short walk away. The barricks property is truly a special place and we feel so fortunate to have stayed there! ##### Heather A.
