By far the most lovely place we stayed in our 3 weeks in Ireland... Finola's son Daniel greeted us with fresh baked bread, flowers on the table, and a fire in the peat stove; how could we not feel welcomed? The view of the Atlantic and the every changing sky, the serenity and simplicity of the Barn itself, plus our charming host, all combined to make for a perfectly relaxing and memorable stay.
If you must have every modern convenience to be happy, you may not enjoy Finola's as we did, but you would be missing out on a beautiful experience. Though the house's systems are simple, everything operates smoothly, and in fact the Barn is very similar to the way I live in far west Texas, so I felt right at home, as did Kathie. Finola was traveling elsewhere through most of our stay, but we did get to meet her our last evening. As charming and sparkling as her son! Don't pass up the chance to meet them and stay in their artful Barn at Fanore.
