Nordic 'hygge' in the heart of the Burren National Park.

2 private guestrooms in Hanne's Cottage; a traditional Irish cottage with a simple Nordic interior. It is nestled on an edenic plot of land surrounded by breathtaking scenery of the Burren Mountains, close to Fanore Beach, Wild Atlantic Way, walking trails outside the doorstep and only a 35 min drive to the Cliffs of Moher.

Hanne (+ cat) will be your host(s). Hanne is a quiet soul, perceptive of your needs and respectful of your space.

This is no ordinary rooms in a house. Apart from a single room and a double room/livingroom with a stove and complimentary firewood + organic tea and locally roasted coffee, you will also have full access to the cosiest of cosy shared Hearth of the house and use of kitchen*.

With the utmost attention to detail, as one guest described it; "everything here is art", this is a truly unique stay. Many guests mention it to be one of the best airbnb's they've stayed in.

Furthermore, there is a beautiful and wild shared back garden with stunning views down the valley and all the way to Galway Bay and the Connemara mountains on a clear day.

The 1 acre of land that belongs to Hanne's Cottage is an ever unfolding ARK = Act of Restorative Kindness towards the Earth and is cared for as a wildlife sanctuary.

A car is essential as Hanne's Cottage is in a rural valley in the Burren mountains, with a 5km stretch of narrow backroad leading down to it and no public transport available.

Hanne's Cottage is part of Community Neighbour Watch.

P.S. Hanne's Cottage is Hanne's home; it will be kept tidy and high standard of clean. It will also bear evidence of a fully lived in home. A home with a long-haired Boss host cat flaunting her floof, which inevitably will cause the occasional cat hair. If the latter is an issue, this peaceful and beautiful sanctuary for humans and animals alike might not be for you.

*please read additional houserules for use of kitchen.

Business
Kindness is powerful. Nature and animals is where my heart is. The land of Hanne's Cottage is an ARK = Act of Restorative Kindness towards the Earth. It's wild and managed for wildlife. We must honour and be kind to the natural world and all its inhabitants. We are nothing without it and we're only brief visitors to this blue marble we call Earth. Let's leave it better than we found it!
