Aven with Sea View - Into The Burren

Sea Views, Cosy Comfort and Privacy

Come home to our Aven Loft – a warm and welcoming self-contained studio loft beautifully located above our family home in Fanore, county Clare. Beautiful sea views are the order of the day in Aven, with sweeping vistas of the incredible Wild Atlantic Way. You’re just minutes from the beach and the Burren’s walking trails, so whether you’re a couple seeking a quiet escape, a small family on a nature break or friends touring Ireland’s West – our Aven Loft makes the perfect base.

Aven is one of two studio lofts (Aven and Gentian), each designed with your comfort, flexibility, and privacy in mind. It’s the perfect comfortable and private retreat, with big skies, and the sounds of the ocean as your backdrop – yet you’re only ever a short drive away from the Wild Atlantic Way’s top attractions, from the Burren to the Cliffs of Moher.
