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.

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.

Fabulous property!

Fannisgstown House was perfect for our family of 7 when visiting the beautiful country of Ireland. Each couple and teenager had their own bathroom which everyone appreciated tremendously! Angela responded to any and all questions immediately and was very helpful and accommodating. We enjoyed the house tremendously and still had time to drive out every day to tour sites that were within short driving distances. A terrific experience and terrific house!

Ruth Bednarzyk - Family wedding in Lomerick

We cannot say enough about this home. Beautiful and welcoming. We were a group of 9 including three families. We rented the house before checking into our hotel for a family wedding. The house was perfect! Everything you needed was included. We were sad to leave and check into our hotel. Had we known we would have stayed in the house the entire time. Booking was seamless and even though we had a bit of trouble finding the place when we arrived in Ireland, Angela was very responsive and in no time we were all set. Lovely home lovely host. I would recommend staying here.

Great house, lots of charm, close to town

The house was lovely, lots of room, great for our family to stay. It's close to main street in Adare - a short drive, and in a residential area so it was nice and quiet. The only complaints are that the water temperature was fussy - hot then cold, and some of the fixtures in the bathroom very old and need replacement/repair. There also was not a whirlpool/hot tub, as listed, only a sitting tub (with no whirlpool). However, we were overall pleased with our stay here.

Family Vacation

The home is large and has plenty of room for everyone to spread out. Thank you for leaving some food we didn’t expect that, it was a nice touch. Just a note all the coffee pods that were in the home were the wrong size but we were able to find some that fit in town.Maybe if you put a note in the home exactly what kind it takes it would be easier for the guest. The home was just a 10 minute drive to Adare and a great location for day trips. We enjoyed our stay in your beautiful home.

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!

Spacious and well-equipped

We were a smaller party than originally planned so we had loads of space. Comfortable beds, decent Wi-Fi and well equipped kitchen that might have needed an additional frypan for the obligatory departure day ‘full Irish’ - we improvised well! Milk butter eggs and tea on arrival was very welcome. Very responsive host to the one question I had while we were there

A Week With The Cousins

We traveled to Adare so my 7ry old twins could meet their eight cousins. Boy did they have a grand time! The property was immaculate and we could not have been happier. It has everything you could ask for all in a convenient location. We were impressed looking at the online pictures but the house is even better in person! If you are looking for a great base for exploring, entertaining or just relaxing this is the place. Thanks Angela you are the best!

More To This Property Than You See!

We spent three nights in this beautiful and charming home. Located in the beautiful countryside of Ireland, we chose this property as a central point for our Ireland day trips to Blarney Castle, Killarney National Park, the Cliffs of Moher, and Kilkenny. This house is PERFECT for large or multi-families, with 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, and ample dining and lounging space. We enjoyed visiting pubs and restaurants just a 7 minute drive in neighboring Adare. Though, a note to consider - many places are closed Monday and Tuesday evenings. Communication with the host was excellent and we are confident in recommending this home to you, as a part of your Ireland adventure.

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.
