Hanne's Cottage

Directions Website

Hanne's Cottage Nordic 'hygge' and overnight stays in a traditional Irish cottage in the heart of the Burren. Hanne’s Cottage is an experience. It is accommodation with soul.

It is simple, it is quiet and it is real. It is nestled on an edenic plot of land; an ARK = Act of Restorative Kindness towards the Earth www.wearetheark.org ; managed for wildlife and therefore beautifully 'messy' and brimming with life. It is surrounded by the breathtaking scenery of the Caher Valley in the Burren, Co. Clare. On days of mist and sideways rain, the stove is lit and the kettle on. Hanne will be your host during your stay, sharing the hearth of her cottage with you. It is tidy and clean but will bear evidence of being a fully lived-in home. She is a quiet soul; perceptive of your needs and respectful of your space. Suitable for one or two people traveling together. (Can maybe at a little extra cost, squeeze in three people travelling together, if two of you don't mind sharing a double bed.) Bookings by request and all inquiries please connect through the contact form on www.hannescottage.com .

Where did time go?

Last I checked it was August.... 11th October now.

And Hanne's Cottage is officially closed for the season 2026.

It was a year of fewer guests and those who did find the portal to this unquie place were absolutely amazing. In fact, I haven't been able to keep up with all the beautiful reviews and stars that followed.

Will Hanne's Cottage open again in 2027?

I genuinely don't know at this point in writing. It might. However, I feel it needs a longer pause. And some kind of a res(e)t. I definitely do. But maybe it will open for a brief window of time, for shorter stays. Although, I would be further considering longer residencies and/or long-term rental of the Double Room. All to be decided with time.*

Either way. What I do know is, the world of photography and art want more of a center stage of focus for creating and working on new projects, and not be patiently waiting for the winter months. It has proven near impossible to do both simultaneously.

On the note of projects; I've recently been asked to work on the visuals for a book; Ag Dul Siar, about Doolin; tales told through 20 writers, celebrating the wonderful little Hotel Doolin in Co. Clare, a place that does so much for artists.

Check out .doolin Ag Dul Siar. Or my highlight of the same name on instagram

*if you are a previous guest, a friend, or "highly recommeded" and are considering booking a stay for 2027, please do reach out on [email protected] even if I'm not officially open, I am open for any kinds of accommodation inquiries. One never knows ;)

Be forewarned though, there will be a price increase for 2027, if I open , as this place is as unique as they come. It isn't just a room, it's a cottage with soul. And a stove. Organic teas and locally roasted coffee + the option to use the kitchen if needed (for simple cooking). Hanne's Cottage is a sanctuary, for people and wildlife alike, in a spectacular location with stunning views. Rural but pretty close to some of the best things Co. Clare has to offer.

Things to ponder. And time to do it

Wishing you all a wonderful rest of 2026 and thank you for being such amazing guests!!

The colours. The peace. The slow.

This wildly peaceful and peacefully wild corner of the world is a place to simply be.

To rest. To walk. To read. To sit. To observe. To move slow and leave time behind to step into Burren time, quiet time, empty time, no time... embraced by the natural sounds and scenic extraordinaire of the Burren mountain.

It's a quiet season.
A beautiful season.
A season of art and creativity.

The guests who find their way to my humble abode, are such wonderful people, they knew, once they saw my listing, that this is where they are meant to be staying. It's extraordinary.

I've been here 15 years this year. And still, this view gets me every time. This is the coastroad around Fanore, Co. Clare and part of what is now called The Wild Atlantic Way. In the distance you can see the Cliffs of Moher.
