John is a very friendly and helpful host and we have had a great time at Fanore. The views from the cottage are impressive and just a short walk down to the sea through the gate opposite. If you are looking for fresh air, peace and a bit of wilderness, then this is the place to stay. The wild Atlantic sea is stunning and so are the Burren mountains and landscape. You can take a trip to Connemara for the day too if that is an area you want to explore.
