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. There are 5 bedrooms, of which one is ensuite, with two further bathrooms, one of which is downstairs. On the ground floor there is a spacious living room with Sky TV and Netflix; study with reading material and work area/desk; ground floor bedroom; bathroom with overhead shower and free-standing bath (with shower unit); spacious kitchen with dining table seating ten together with large range and two ovens, dish washer and sink; utility room with two washing machines, dryer, and sink. Upstairs there are two identical bedrooms with double beds; one bedroom with double bed and ensuite (overhead shower); large master bedroom with double bed; bathroom with overhead shower. The storey and a half design of the house gives a charming look and feel to all upstairs rooms. The master bedroom is most unusual with two steps down into it and roof valleys in each of the 4 corners. All windows are sash with shutters. All bathrooms are fully tiled in travertine. 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.

Jan 20, 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Our group had the most comfortable winter week in this beautiful historical cottage. Coming from Australia, we had concerns about being cold and Paul could not have been more accommodating. The house was very comfortable and the fire in the living room added extra coziness and ambience. The five bedrooms have queen size beds and all were matched in comfort so no-one vying for the best room! The large kitchen was very well equipped which allowed for delicious group meals. (Historic Ennis was only 15 minutes away for a big supermarket shop and well worth seeing its medieval laneways.) We appreciated access to the laundry so we could wash our clothes in preparation for the next stage of our winter holiday. The location of the house, near Corofin was perfect for day tours. Everything we wanted to do and see in Co Clare / Galway was only a 30 minute drive from the house. Unexpectedly the week turned into a food lovers safari as there are many top quality restaurants and pubs within half hours drive from the house so our days were structured around where to go for lunch! Paul was very welcoming on arrival, ensuring we were comfortable. In summary, this beautiful home gave us a perfect Irish week for a family group or group of friends and with any luck we will be back. ##### Tansi M.
