This is an amazing place to stay. The house looks exactly as it is depicted on the website. We were there only a week and had a full itinerary but wished we had more time to just linger at the house. Mary was very kind and accommodating. She explained everything thoroughly so there were no hidden costs. There was a laundry for our use. There were many extra touches we were no expecting, food and drink in the refrigerator, wine in the rack, flowers around the house, wood stacked for a fire and then after going out the next day we came back to find that the wood had been replenished. Most things on the Atlantic coast that we planned to do were no more than 2 hours away. The house and the grounds are lovely, I highly recommend Fanningstown Castle.
