John and the property were fantastic! The photos don't do the location justice at all. The views of the ocean and nearby beach is literally your front yard, you can hear the waves crashing ashore and see the weather rolling in. It's such a peaceful place to stay. You are greeted by their horse who lives on the property in the adjacent stable (don't worry, no smell or sounds to worry about they keep the stable very clean and the horse is so quiet you won't know she's there!) The cottage is superb, the kitchen being stocked with everything you need to stay for as long as you want. The cottage was larger than I expected and had ocean views from every window. There was a separate kitchen/living area, hallway with bathroom, and bedroom with full/queen sized bed. It was spotless and the towels were large and soft. John lit a fire for us in the wood-burning stove and left us fresh baked scones and tea cakes to enjoy for breakfast, as well as a bowl of fresh fruit and some milk and butter in the fridge, and teabags/nescafe in the cupboard. There is a small loveseat in the living area in front of the wood stove and a dining table. You are in short walking distance to the gorgeous Fanore Beach, where there are people riding horses on the sand and learning how to surf, as well as lots of hiking trails. The little town is about a mile or less down the road in the other direction (O'Donoghue's Pub is a fantastic spot to eat and have a pint with the locals, great food and craic!). You are minutes from the Burren and have views of it as well. The Cliffs of Moher and Dingle are about 20 minutes away through parts of the Burren, it's a beautiful drive. John was more than accommodating as a host and we really appreciated it. We loved the area so much we are thinking of coming back to rent his larger house for the summer! Thank you for everything John (and Philip)! Hope to see you all again soon (and my new horse-pal!).
