Joe is a wonderful host. The cottage is absolutely lovely. This was our second visit to this property this year and we will certainly return. Fanore, the Burren, and Clare are very special places to us- our home away from home. Thank you, Joe!

The craggy cottage was a great location for our exploration of the west coast. The house is quaint, comfortable, and has an awesome view of the ocean. Joe is friendly and a great resource for local sights and restaurants. Could not have asked for more!

This cottage is in a wonderful location. Beautiful views and just a few minutes walk from a lovely sandy beach.The kitchen equipment is exceptional with the added bonus of being able to watch rabbits in the garden.The house rules state that pets are not allowed upstairs, so as we had a dog with us, we didn't have access to a television. But we coped fine with our tablets. Very good wifi.Ballyvaughan (petrol station and good Centra), Doolin and Lahinch (fabulous beach) are all within 30 minutes from the cottage, as are the Cliffs of Moher

The property is lovely with stunning views of Fanore Beach… right across the road. All of your essentials are in the cottage, which is more than adequate to base your stay and really comfortable for couples or even a family. Easy access from either Shannon or Dublin. Great central location for exploring Cos. Clare and Galway. Fanore has a tidy shop for essentials (Siopa Fanore) and a wonderful pub (O’Donohue’s), which are both just three minutes by car or an easy stroll on a private off-road. We explored as far south as Lahinch and as north as Connemara- so truly a good place to make a home base and explore the Wild Atlantic Way and up into the Gaeltacht. Joe couldn’t have been kinder and more welcoming. We will certainly be back… and soon. Thanks, Joe!

Amazing Location

Amazing Location

We had a wonderful time in Fanore and Joe and Noreen were great hosts. We had no reason to contact them between check in and departure and that says a lot about the house. It was really well stocked and had everything we required including amazing views of Fanore Beach and the Aran Islands. We hope to stay again soon.

This cottage was wonderful. It overlooks the Wild Atlantic and the sunsets were amazing. In the morning the sun comes up directly behind the cottage. The rooms are lovely and spacious. We enjoyed the tv room upstairs with the skylight windows that overlooks the beach. The beach was nice and great to walk on. Such a peaceful and wonderful stay! We hope that we can make another trip back to this wonderful cottage in the future.

Great place to stay

The house was well laid out, clean and superbly resourced, even down to the Nespresso coffee maker! As we have 5.0mbps at home you can guess how delighted we were to find that the WiFi was super fast at 53mbps! The view of the sea was a real must for us and we were delighted to be able to see it from the main living area downstairs and the upstairs area with picture windows on a full wall. The owners Joe and Noreen were there to welcome us with a warm friendly chat and had left us smoked salmon and an apple tart as welcome gifts. This hospitality was evident in communication with Joe prior to our stay. Everything was made easy for us and we had a super relaxing time in the cottage, with stunning views and great walks on the beach and around the Burren. For us it was sheet bliss!

This house is in the perfect location for Fanore beach and driving around the area. The beach is a 5 minute walk or 1 minute drive, and lovely to hang around. The house is well equipped and very comfortable, with great views. Joe is an excellent host who responded immediately when we had a query. We had a great holiday and would love to return again.

Beautiful cottage with a million dollar view.

We all had an amazing time staying at Craggy Cottage. Joe let us check in early so we could rest a little after our red-eye flight. He stopped by to great us and to show us how everything worked in the cottage. Everything you needed to start with was there, he even bought us some milk 😁� The cottage was beautiful inside and out and the sitting room upstairs had an amazing view of Fanore beach and the Atlantic ocean. The sunsets from there were breathtaking. My girlfriend and I arrived Sunday and my cousins arrived on Wednesday for a week to spend their 25th Anniversary. They loved the cottage too and had a great time. It has a great location to see the Cliffs of Moher and the Burren (which is in the backyard) When we come back to Ireland in the future we'll definitely stay there again! Thanks again Joe!

Just perfect!

Just perfect!

Craggy Cottage is a beautiful pearl set in the equally lovely Fanore in the incredible Burren of the Wild Atlantic Way. We had yet again another fantastic break there with our family. Joe and Noreen make sure that everything you could wish for is in the cottage and are so welcoming. There is always a well-stocked store cupboard to start you off and a welcome pack of a little delicious something. Everything is spotless and there were even some flowers to welcome us around the property. We have a little boy and two small doggies and the cottage and place just works for everyone and anyone.Upstairs there is a lovely sitting room which just oozes serenity. Craggy cottage has views to die for and a beautiful garden and terrace on which to watch the glorious (and they really are glorious) sunsets. Because we went in May/ June all the wild flowers and foliage were in abundance and just a joy. However we have visited in March and September and there is always some beauty to behold. The beach nearby is a surfers paradise but also wonderful if you just want to paddle with the little ones or while away the hours. Fanore itself is a jewel and the locals friendly and welcoming. This is real Ireland at its best. A great nearby store and post office and a fantastic pub serving delicious food if you don’t want to venture too far. We are absolutely smitten and anyone would be we are sure. It is a very special place. Thankyou Joe and Noreen . We will be back!

Very clean and well equipped and well appointed near the beach. Great views from the upstairs lounge but a place to sit downstairs too. My dog loved the garden and I enjoyed the wild spring flowers. Sean was very helpful - meeting us at the house when we arrived and calling in when we had a problem with the heating. We really enjoyed our stay!

Ideally Located Burren Cottage

Ideally Located Burren Cottage

The location of Craggy Cottage is simply stunning. With great views to the beach (200M) and the Hills of the Burren on the doorstep, it is a peaceful and serene place. The cottage is nice, but simply furnished and is very comfortable indeed. The upstairs lounge gives great views over the sea and the sunsets are stunning! Within easy reach of most things in this area, we found the location ideal. You get used to the fact that the ATM is 15 miles away! The kitchen was well equipped and needed nothing else in it. My only criticism is that some of it is looking tired. The shower had mould in it and could do with a deep clean. A couple of fixtures are hanging off the wall. The TV cable was faulty and we had to tape it up to make it work. It even had a VHS player still attached! These are minor points, but could turn a great place into a stunning place

This place is brilliant, a perfect location for walking, cycling and wild swimming. Fanore beach is stunning and this is the closest house to it. A good kitchen if you want to cokk but the local pubs and restaurants are really good. Plenty of live music in Doolin.

Amazing Cottage, Specatacular Views, Wonderful Locals

Cottage and the owner Joe were great. The local pub has trad music, friendly staff and great pub food only a very short drive down the road. The fish and tackle shop is great. Rent a pole and go out and fish for Mackerel and Pollock. Having a full Kitchen is fantastic when on holiday and can't beat being able to fry up fresh fish. The upstairs living room is the best part of the house with views of the ocean and beautiful coastline. We were able to easily get to Doolin for Ferry to Aran Islands, hike of the cliffs of Moher, hike Croagh Patrick, and tour Connemara all from this location with ease. Don't miss out on this place!

My daughters and I really enjoyed our stay @ Craggy Cottage. Lots of room and a beautiful view every morning. Joe was very attentive to make sure our stay was enjoyable. Would recommend Craggy Cottage for exploring the west coast for sure.

Beautiful home in an impressive landscape

Beautiful home in an impressive landscape

Incredibly beautiful....this gives our vacation apt description . The house is very comfortable and clean. It's like "coming home". The kitchen is completely equipped. Even the most mundane things for cooking are available. The house is next to Fanore Beach. Where we went everyevening after an impressive day (at the cliffs of moher, at Tullamore Dew, at Doolin......) to let the day fade away. The house gives you a good starting point for your excursions. Having a car is recommended. Thank you, Joe and Rena, for allowing us to be in this wonderful place. We are sure to come back again!

Outstanding, even better than expected.

We were met by the owner, Joe Casey, who kindly explained the use of all aspects of the cottage. He also supplied us with some unexpected food and supplies. The cottage is positioned with an unobstructed view of the "Wild Atlantic" Ocean. The cottage was clean and well supplied leaving nothing to chance. We look forward to returning to this very location and will recommend it to anyone interested in a great and relaxing stay on the west coast of Ireland.

Sehr gut ausgestattet: im Gegensatz zur Ausstattung von anderen reinen Ferien-Cottages merkt man, dass der Gastgeber hier auch mal selbst wohnt. Die Lage ist optimal, wenn man zum Surfen gehen möchte. Ansonsten ist der Ausblick auf die Bucht einfach phänomenal.

Après un premier séjour l'an dernier à la même époque, nous sommes revenus dans le cottage. Nous avons retrouvé avec le même plaisir le confort de la maison et sa situation privilégiée en face de l'océan. L'accueil et la disponibilité de Joe Casey sont toujours remarquables. La météo n'a pas été très favorable (pas un seul coucher de soleil), mais le charme du site opère par tous les temps.

Ein echtes Kleinod direkt am Atlantik

Ein echtes Kleinod direkt am Atlantik

Die Woche in Joe's Cottage hat uns trotz des ziemlich schlechten Wetters sehr gut gefallen. Es gibt drei separate Schlafzimmer (zwei mit Doppelbett, eines mit Einzel- und Etagenbett), zwei Bäder, ein Wohnzimmer im 1. Stock mit wunderbarem Blick aufs Meer und eine große Wohnküche mit allem, was man für einen Urlaubsaufenthalt so braucht. Sogar Geschirrspül- und Waschmaschine gehören zur Ausstattung. Das Cottage war – von ein paar Schimmelflecken in den Bädern abgesehen – sehr sauber und zudem überaus gemütlich. Der nächste Pub und ein kleiner Laden sind 3 PKW- oder 20 Gehminuten, der nächste größere Supermarkt allerdings 18 km entfernt.

Wir durften bereits zum zweiten Mal unsere Ferien in Joe's Craggy Cottage in Fanore verbringen. Das Haus ist gut ausgerüstet und sehr gemütlich. Das Wohnzimmer bietet dank Dachflächenfenstern einen unglaublichen Blick auf den Atlantik. Die rauhe Burren-Region bietet viele spannende Ausflugsmöglichkeiten und sehr gute Erholung. Wir können dieses Cottage nur weiterempfehlen!

Cottage (presque) parfait

Cottage (presque) parfait

La maison est (presque) idéale à tous les points de vue : situation (face à l'océan, un mile 1/2 d'un pub - avec musiciens le dimanche - et d'un magasin d'alimentation), confort (le salon de l'étage est très agréable avec la vue sur les îles d'Aran, la baie de Galway et la côte sud du Connemara), espace ( les pièces sont spacieuses et lumineuses), calme... avec la présence vivante et sympathique d'une petite école primaire à côté. Le matériel de cuisine est complet et de bonne qualité (poêle exceptée). La petite restriction concerne l'aménagement des salles de bain et douche du rez-de-chaussée et de l'étage : manquent une tablette et un meuble pour ranger les affaires de toilettes. L'accueil de Joey Casey fut lui aussi parfait avec des attentions très appréciées : saumon fumé, apple-pie et bonbonne d'eau... Nous recommandons le cottage sans la moindre hésitation.

Das Cottage liegt direkt am Fanore Beach, Shop und Pub gibts im Dorf. Weitere Einkaufsmöglichkeiten (bsp. Metzger in Lisdoonvarna) und Pubs gibts in den Nachbardörfern. Das Haus selber ist gross und gut ausgestattet (TV, DVD, VHS, Bibliothek, Spiele, etc.). Das Wohnzimmer im Obergeschoss ist der Hammer. Durch die Dachflächenfenster hat man einen tollen Ausblick aufs Meer. Die Küche ist ebenfalls sehr gut ausgestattet und lässt (bis auf ein bisschen schärfere Messer) keine Wünsche offen. Der Vermieter ist sehr nett und unkompliziert. Wir können dieses Ferienhaus wirklich mit bestem Gewissen weiterempfehlen!

The house is very well equipted and spacious for up to 7 guests. We spent a relaxing week with the family in the cottage after a round trip through Irland, and enjoyed the modern kitchen with dishwasher, washing machine and tumbler as well as games , books, TV, DVDs for rainy days. Close-by are Fanore beach with its great waves and surfing and angling opportunities, and the impressive nature reserve of the Burren, which is ideally suited for hiking. We recomment the cottage for families and/or nature lovers.
