Quin is a really beautiful place but property is still pricey there and forget about trying to get planning permission if your not a local. Good Luck with your move!

Property is not too expensive there nowadays, I know I am trying to sell a house!
Any takers?

Ok €210k for a 4 bed semi in a brand new estate with playground etc. Fully fitted.

With the property prices getting lower there, I am glad I sold up three years ago. Still live near enough and it is a nice village, good spot as a base for Limerick, Shannon or Ennis.

Quin was the 'in' place to buy a house if you were from Ennis during the final years of the property boom. Houses were very pricey because a lot of people wanted to live there.

Hi,

Just dragging up an old thread,so how is life in Quin these days? Seriously considering a move in that direction,can anyone comment what the village is like?Seems friendly enough. Which pubs would you consider the best?Is there a bit of life in them at the weekends? Also what are the broadband options there?

Cheers:)

Open a new thread, this one is old.

You can get eircom broadband, ripplecom and bbnet in Quin. Ripplecom took over the Quin online service. A couple of pubs, shops, chemist and houses really. Near ennis which may be ideal.

If you have a problem with a post, report it and leave the modding to the mods, thanks.

I'll leave this thread open as there isn't much in it to confuse people and people can add to it to give their opinion, be interesting to see how things have changed in a couple of years.

I was there a month ago and they've a really good new lunch place. Forget the name of it but it's next to the Abbey Tavern. Rakes of different and very tasty cakes.

If you fancy working off the cake and pints it's also got some of the best Tae Kwon Do instruction in the country. http://www.quintkd.ie/

Grew up there, folks still live there, I may be biased, but I cannot recommend it enough. It's small, but has all the necessary amenities. Great community, and with the 4 pubs, there is always something on every night.

Thanks folks for the replies,all positive by the looks of it. Can I ask if anyone knows if there is any sort of a taxi service in the area? I know it is a small village so the answer may be no. For example if one lived a few miles from the village,would you get a taxi home from the pub at night?

Yes there is a local taxi/hackney man in the area as I have friends who use him quiet regularly.
