This is no ordinary room in a house. Apart from your private double room with a stove and complimentary firewood + organic tea and locally roasted coffee, guests also have full access to the cosiest of cosy shared Hearth of the house.

With the utmost attention to detail, as one guest described it; "everything here is art" this is a truly unique stay. As many guests mention, it's 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. Walking trails can start outside Hanne's Cottage and Fanore Beach is only within 7 min drive. The iconic Cliff's of Moher 30 min drive.

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's a fully lived in 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.

P.P.S. Hanne may be able to accommodate you for only 1 night if the need is there, please inquire. Note this will come with an additional fee separate to your airbnb booking fee. See under "Other details to note"

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!
