In the heart of County Clare. Railway View is an historic listed home in the heart of Clare. Built in 1888 as shop, butter merchants and public house serving the West Clare Railway. It played a central role in the War of Independence and Civil War, with the Minihan family very active in both conflicts. Described by Frank Barrett as "barracks, hospital and hotel", such historic figures as Eamon deValera, Countess Markievicz and Peadar O'Donnell have stayed here as guests of Staff Commandant John Minihan, a senior republican. Railway View is in a tranquil location, 1.5 km from the Village of Corofin and 12 km from the county town of Ennis. It is a spacious house on its own extensive private grounds with plenty of parking.

Walls both inside and out are completed with lime render; flooring is a combination of solid French oak, Victorian tiling and travertine. The house has a number of handcrafter fireplaces in various rooms. Heating is oil. There is full wifi access. Guests have access to the entire property, including yard and raised garden/lawn area.
