The cottage in Fanore was spacious. Our host Anne was friendly. The place was clean. The Burren is a great region and we had a wonderful time in Ireland. So far the good news. The place itself resembled the pictures on the Airbnb site. Added were pictures from a lot of things that must be somewhere in Ireland, but definitely not in Fanore. We had „free WLAN“, true, but only one person at the time could use it to send an E-Mail. No possibility to use the internet in any significant way, send pictures or anything. Unacceptable in this day and age. The appliances were there, but the washer was rusted, the television and coffee machine dated to the nineties and the stove was not powerful enough to cook more than two eggs. There were no decorations whatsoever. The bath upstairs had mould and the entire place was in urgent need of renovation. In the „things to do“ book we were told the nearest pub, serving excellent food, was 2 kilometers away. Since we all wanted to have a pint, we decided to walk. It turns out the pub is 4 kilometers away along a dangerous road, double the indicated distance. After an hour of walking and drinking a few pints we wanted to order food. It turns out food is only served starting May 1st. We wanted to call a taxi, but that turned out to be impossible. So, all in all a great vacation, but certainly room for improvement regarding the cottage.
