Although we didn't have a chance to meet with John, as we only stayed one night, his communication was excellent. We adored the Tackroom, it is a tidy and cosy space with the most comfortable bed! The surrounding area is picturesque with Fanore beach just a short walk from the room.
Also if you are looking for somewhere to eat, O'Donoghue's pub does a delicious seafood platter and is well worth the visit!
