Connole's Cottage is a lovely little home with a great view of the ocean. It is in the quite little town of Fanore right on the coast. There are great bars/pubs nearby in Doolin and some great restaurants as well. The hostess has great recommendations of bars, restaurants, and nearby attractions to visit during your stay and is incredibly hospitable. Our favorites were Doolin Cave nearby with one of the largest stalactites in the world, the Cliffs of Moher are which are a short drive away, the pubs in Doolin for the great locals and traditional music sessions, and Monk's restaurant in Ballyvaughan.
