The castle was perfect for our group of ten. Mary was an amazing host with great communication and truly made us feel cozy and comfortable. This castle is beautiful, great kitchen and living room space for us all to gather. Adare is also a great village to eat at close to the location! Would stay again!
Our stay at the castle was one of the best experiences. We felt welcomed and taken care of throughout our time. The location is perfect to come back to after day trips throughout Ireland. Mary, the hostess, is the very best to work with while planning our trip and once we got there. I highly recommend staying here.
Mary was an amazing host! Very attentive and communicated timely with us. She provided groceries and would clean the fireplace for us daily, so she went above and beyond for us. The castle is beautiful and the animals around the property are very cute and nice as well. Highly reccomend Fanningstown Castle!
The location was absolutely amazing far enough from the city, but close enough to the city if you still needed to pick up a few things. Mary was absolutely amazing. Probably the best hostess we have ever had everything at the property was as described. Actually, the description of the property does no justice you have to see it for yourself. You will fall in love.
