Beautiful property and lots of room for our extended family! (2 bedrooms with their own bathroom/shower! Plus two more bathrooms for the other 3 bedrooms.) Very conveniently located to our family wedding in Adare and within a couple hours of some great tours of Ring of Kerry and the Cliffs of Mohr. When we had an issue with the power in one of the bedrooms, the owner was there within minutes to help with the circuit breaker. We would highly recommend for a family gathering!

Beautiful Stay

My family had the best stay at Angelas home. We were admiring how gorgeous the layout was and how well it accommodated all nine of us. Angela was incredibly helpful with any questions I had, even stopping by to assist. We truly appreciate the hospitality.

Liked: Check-in
The house was nice and big and accommodated my group who was in town for a wedding. We thought the house would be a lot closer to town than it was, so just had to manage transportation. Stay was nice for the most part however we did see what appeared to be mouse droppings show up at different areas as well as some pretty large spiders throughout the house. The host was communicative however failed to provide the type of check out instructions that she expected to see which resulted in some disagreement and an overcharge. Overall if not for the tense communication afterward, the stay was fine.

Wonderful spot to explore western Ireland

This was a great home for my family as we spent a holiday in Ireland with the absolute highlight being the add-on dinner of authentic cuisine on our first night. It allowed us to explore another culture and grow closer across 3 generations on family. Simply Outstanding! I highly recommend this dinner and the house.

40th Birthday Trip

We stayed at the Fanningtown House in Adare for 5 nights while visiting the Irish country side. Everything was comfortable for our group of 7. We were able to cook breakfast before we headed out for the day. Our favorite part was ending our evenings in the hearth room with a cozy fire. Would definitely stay here again!

Family Visit to Ireland

We had the most wonderful stay. The house is gorgeous and spacious. The gardens were lovely and we loved the little bonus “cottage” in the back. The proximity to Adare was fantastic and it was a convenient jumping off point for exploration to Gort, Kinsale etc….The hosts went out of their way to make sure our stay was exceptional. Would recommend whole-heartedly!

Beautiful country manor

We loved staying at this beautiful well-appointed property. It is tastefully done and very accommodating--not to mention the wonderful loaf of home made bread, the milk, butter and eggs in the refrigerator and the the bowl of fresh fruit on the table. The country setting is beautiful and we enjoyed seeing the cows grazing in the nearby pasture.

Nice home but dated

We enjoyed our stay, we loved all the room to spread out. Property managers provided some basic food items which was really nice. But the home interior is dated and could use a remodel. The location is great as a base camp to hit everything in southwest Ireland.
