The cottage was impeccable when we arrived. Check-in couldn’t have been easier, as it was entirely up to us when to arrive and check in. The host, Anne, was extremely welcoming and friendly, which seems to be characteristic of the Irish along the west coast. She responded immediately to inquiries, so we were never left wondering. The cottage has a little guest book with lots of great information on local pubs and restaurants, the sites, and the fascinating history of the area. The house itself is very charming, with all the modern comforts while still retaining the character of the local architecture. And finally, for anyone who appreciates the countryside, the wild coast along the Atlantic, and literary and historical traditions, this area is perfect for a relaxing and fascinating sojourn. We can only highly recommend the Fanore Cottages.
