A wonderful place for a family!

This lovely rustic cottage was a perfect spot for a 3-generation trip to the beautiful Burren area. Lots of space for kids, parents, and grandparents to sleep and all the amenities needed to take care of little kiddos (kitchen, washing machine, bath, etc).

This was my second stay in Anne’s cottages. We love Fanore and it’s quiet beauty. You can see the Burren and the Atlantic Ocean from the cottages. This is the perfect spot to stay along the Wild Atlantic Way. We explored the Burren and Fanore beach (both walking distance). Galway City and Doolin are just a short drive away. This trip we stopped at the Burren Perfumery for gifts, as well as Burren Smokehouse for delicious local smoked fish. We returned to the cottage each night and warmed ourselves by a peat fire. Anne’s hospitality made us feel relaxed and welcomed. Can’t wait to return!

Peaceful and Beautiful Location

Anne was a great host and our family thoroughly enjoyed her rustic cottage with the yard and views! We enjoyed seeing the hares and fox(es) in the back meadow, the sunset and view of the ocean. It was so peaceful at night and we enjoyed the peat fire on the cold evenings. Thank you, again!

Family holiday

We had a wonderful time at Anne and John’s cottage. It’s clean and comfortable, with all the amenities you need. It was an excellent “home base” as was explored Ireland for the first time. Anne was always in communication, even warning us when bad weather was coming. We highly recommend Fanore Holiday Cottages!

Beautiful and spotlessly clean, and a stone's throw away from the beach. Fairly remote location with a lovely cafe, convenience store, and O'Donohue's Restaurant/Pub grouped together about 2km away. Buy more firewood than you think you'll need if it's chilly and stormy (thank you "hurricane" Amy!) buy wine, post cards, stamps, extra toilet paper, and eggs at the convenience store, Nick is very helpful. Paul at the pub was delightful, and the lovely young woman who owns the cafe makes all creations from scratch (gluten free options too). Our host Anne couldn't have been more attentive and stopped in to make sure we had what we needed.
