Breakfast food for the first day was graciously provided by the owner. Accommodations for our 7 adults family was very spacious. If coming from the US be aware the are switches in the bathroom to active hot water in the showers. We had a hiccup with the hot water supply but the owner was very quick to resolve the issue. The close proximity to town (6 minute drive) provide d restaurants/pubs, food store, pharmacy, gasoline, church, shopping…. I highly recommend this house.

Central location

We had group of 8 and we enjoyed the home and its amenities, including the sunroom outside. The hosts were accomodating and had stocked essentials which were appreciated. We did a lot of driving but found the location accessible and the town of Adere was fantastic.

Lovely home in great location

I would highly recommend this home for families or couples who would like a great location with proximity to Adare, Bunratty Castle, Cliffs of Mohrer, Killarney Nat’l Park and Dingle. Also, day trip to Cork or Kinsale very doable. Lots of space to spread out and very nice backyard for kids playing or adults to cookout. Angela and John were so great to work with, addressed all our questions promptly and gifted a lovely food package for us upon our arrival! Will stay again and recommend to our friends who travel and play gold. ( great also to play Ballybunion and Lahinch).

A Week With The Cousins

We traveled to Adare so my 7ry old twins could meet their eight cousins. Boy did they have a grand time! The property was immaculate and we could not have been happier. It has everything you could ask for all in a convenient location. We were impressed looking at the online pictures but the house is even better in person! If you are looking for a great base for exploring, entertaining or just relaxing this is the place. Thanks Angela you are the best!

great experience

This house is exactly like the pictures on the web page, and even more. We had 10 people traveling with us and no one felt cramped at all. easy to travel to many great destinations in Ireland. Our daughter is studying at University and it was only a 10 minute ride to school so it was great. loved the ease of being able to call Angela if we needed anything and she was there. Was everything we hoped for and more

A perfect spot!

Our group of 8 friends spent 10 wonderful days at this lovely home outside of Adare. It was spacious, comfortable, full of amenities that a home should have and very welcoming owners, who were there if we needed them, but otherwise left us to our privacy. Being able to take day trips from Fannington House to MANY places in the western part of Ireland was so convenient. In addition, a nice fire in the fireplace in the evening, while reading or talking over plans for the next day was comforting at the end of a day of travel. The town of Adare is just the kind of town we had hoped to find in Ireland, with things to see, lots of places to eat and pubs that were very friendly. Our only concern was internet access. We traveled with 3 computers and the signal was weak and connection slow. We would recommend this home to others who have a large group or family traveling in this area.

Liked: Check-in
The house was nice and big and accommodated my group who was in town for a wedding. We thought the house would be a lot closer to town than it was, so just had to manage transportation. Stay was nice for the most part however we did see what appeared to be mouse droppings show up at different areas as well as some pretty large spiders throughout the house. The host was communicative however failed to provide the type of check out instructions that she expected to see which resulted in some disagreement and an overcharge. Overall if not for the tense communication afterward, the stay was fine.

Beautiful property and lots of room for our extended family! (2 bedrooms with their own bathroom/shower! Plus two more bathrooms for the other 3 bedrooms.) Very conveniently located to our family wedding in Adare and within a couple hours of some great tours of Ring of Kerry and the Cliffs of Mohr. When we had an issue with the power in one of the bedrooms, the owner was there within minutes to help with the circuit breaker. We would highly recommend for a family gathering!

Wonderful spot to explore western Ireland

This was a great home for my family as we spent a holiday in Ireland with the absolute highlight being the add-on dinner of authentic cuisine on our first night. It allowed us to explore another culture and grow closer across 3 generations on family. Simply Outstanding! I highly recommend this dinner and the house.

Fabulous property!

Fannisgstown House was perfect for our family of 7 when visiting the beautiful country of Ireland. Each couple and teenager had their own bathroom which everyone appreciated tremendously! Angela responded to any and all questions immediately and was very helpful and accommodating. We enjoyed the house tremendously and still had time to drive out every day to tour sites that were within short driving distances. A terrific experience and terrific house!

Ruth Bednarzyk - Family wedding in Lomerick

We cannot say enough about this home. Beautiful and welcoming. We were a group of 9 including three families. We rented the house before checking into our hotel for a family wedding. The house was perfect! Everything you needed was included. We were sad to leave and check into our hotel. Had we known we would have stayed in the house the entire time. Booking was seamless and even though we had a bit of trouble finding the place when we arrived in Ireland, Angela was very responsive and in no time we were all set. Lovely home lovely host. I would recommend staying here.

Great house, lots of charm, close to town

The house was lovely, lots of room, great for our family to stay. It's close to main street in Adare - a short drive, and in a residential area so it was nice and quiet. The only complaints are that the water temperature was fussy - hot then cold, and some of the fixtures in the bathroom very old and need replacement/repair. There also was not a whirlpool/hot tub, as listed, only a sitting tub (with no whirlpool). However, we were overall pleased with our stay here.
