Aine was so helpful, communicative and friendly. The room was separate from the main house, so it felt very private. The entry room had brochures with lots of things to do, beach supplies, umbrellas, and even reflective vests for nighttime walking safety. There were some great books about the region available, movies/stereo/TV/etc. The kitchen was great and the space was very open and well furnished. The bed was a futon in the living room (no bedroom), so we had to change the futon from bed to couch and back, but it was very easy/quick and surprisingly comfortable for a futon! They had great bedding and pillows. The shower was AWESOME -- the best shower in the many places we've stayed in Ireland. There was a beautiful view out the back window, including a horse and occasional cows, with the wildness of the Burren behind. The ocean was visible from the driveway, street, and all of the town. Pub/shops/cafe all a 10ish min walk, and a nice beach was a mile or two away, although smaller more private beaches were available just across the street. Aine was very happy to give directions or tips any time we needed! I'd highly recommend the pub's seafood and stew, and music nightly at 7. We greatly enjoyed Ballyvaughan and Doolin/Cliffs of Moher/Aran Islands -- both short drives from Fanore.
