WEST to the west coast of Clare for Querrin Village, perched on the edge of the Atlantic. This is where you can buy a new two-bedroom cottage that is within a short run of Kilkee for just €85,500, complete with a patio area and private garden. Querrin and its limestone pier is in a SAC (Special Area of Conservation) and has beautiful cliff and shoreline walks. The cottage has a southerly aspect and sea views of Béal Strand and across the bay, of Kerry Head and of course, the ocean. The property is fully painted, has solid timber floors and a solid pine kitchen with Belfast sink.

BASED in Crecora, across the road from the church, Stoneage has been in operation since 1989. “We are a high quality masonry company that supplies and fits stone walls, paving, decorative gravel, water features and bronze and brass elements such as deer,” explains manager PJ Hennessy. “Our showcase piece here is an 8ton Buddha in solid stone. Stoneage has paving in limestone, slate, granite, sandstone and mosaics are done to suit the customer”.
