    Joe is a wonderful host. The cottage is absolutely lovely. This was our second visit to this property this year and we will certainly return. Fanore, the Burren, and Clare are very special places to us- our home away from home. Thank you, Joe!

    The craggy cottage was a great location for our exploration of the west coast. The house is quaint, comfortable, and has an awesome view of the ocean. Joe is friendly and a great resource for local sights and restaurants. Could not have asked for more!

    This cottage is in a wonderful location. Beautiful views and just a few minutes walk from a lovely sandy beach.The kitchen equipment is exceptional with the added bonus of being able to watch rabbits in the garden.The house rules state that pets are not allowed upstairs, so as we had a dog with us, we didn't have access to a television. But we coped fine with our tablets. Very good wifi.Ballyvaughan (petrol station and good Centra), Doolin and Lahinch (fabulous beach) are all within 30 minutes from the cottage, as are the Cliffs of Moher

    The property is lovely with stunning views of Fanore Beach… right across the road. All of your essentials are in the cottage, which is more than adequate to base your stay and really comfortable for couples or even a family. Easy access from either Shannon or Dublin. Great central location for exploring Cos. Clare and Galway. Fanore has a tidy shop for essentials (Siopa Fanore) and a wonderful pub (O’Donohue’s), which are both just three minutes by car or an easy stroll on a private off-road. We explored as far south as Lahinch and as north as Connemara- so truly a good place to make a home base and explore the Wild Atlantic Way and up into the Gaeltacht. Joe couldn’t have been kinder and more welcoming. We will certainly be back… and soon. Thanks, Joe!

    The property had large rooms and was in an ideal location for our first trip to Ireland. Lovely views of the beech from the front of the cottage. Joe was helpful and gave us some ideas of what to see localy.
