Castle View House, stunning period property.

Castle View House is situated in a peaceful setting under the shadow of the 16th centuary Doonagore Castle and 5mns walk from Doolin Village. Right at the start of The Cliffs of Moher Walking Trail you will be ideally placed to tour the famous Burren and The Aran Islands as well as The Cliffs of Moher.
The house was built by ancestors of the current owners in the 1870's and was sensetively renovated and restored four years ago and is now a warm comfortable space with oil fuelled central heating throughout, it is a great place to relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.
There are four large double bedrooms, all with stunning countryside and cliff views through the large windows. Two bedroom are ensuite and the other two share an adjoining bathroom.
Downstairs there are three large reception rooms, a formal dining room with views to Doonagore Castle, a large stately drawing room with an outlook of Doonagore Castle and The Cliffs of Moher. Both rooms feature wood burning stoves for cosy evenings in.
A large country style kitchen fully equipped with all mod cons with a fantastic enclosed cooker in a stone archway completes the living space where you can gather around the large kitchen table enjoying views of cows grazing just outside.
If you care to venture out take a walk to Doolin Village just 5mns down the road where you will find pubs, cafes, an hotel and several craft shops, 10mns away catch a ferry with regurlar service to The Aran Islands.
You will want to return again and again to Castle View House when you have been captivated by it's peace and tranquility.

Castle View House
What a fantastic place to stay. The location was remarkable; the owners couldn’t be better; the house was roomy, well-appointed, very comfortable, and an easy walk to all local attractions. We’ve stayed in a number of vrbo houses and this is the best!

Pristine home with great views!
Castle View House was pristine! We all loved watching the cows from our windows and walking around the beautiful property. The house was very well stocked with all that we could need to cook a few meals and take care of the family on vacation. Our host, Sally, left us bread, milk, eggs and some essentials to get us started upon arrival. We felt very welcomed and comfortable!

Fabulous stay at Castle View
My husband, 3 children and I had a wonderful stay at Castle View. Sally is a lovely host and very accommodating. The property is exactly as pictured and described and overall Doolin exceeded our expectations. Castle View provided us with the unique element of being partially immersed in the Irish culture.

Amazing Property / Great Location
Everything was as advertised. Sally was a great host. The house was perfect for four adults and four kids. We enjoyed hiking along the cliffs and taking a tour of the Doolin Cave. Best place to stay in or around Doolin.

A perfect family vacation
This house is everything you see and more! Incredible views and perfect location. My kids were calling it home from the first day! We loved walking into town and going on trips to the Aran Islands, the Cliffs, and Doolin Cave. The cows were also always a delight. We loved our stay!

Will return again !
Perfect piece of Doolin life you won’t want to miss. Great location, hospitality and space. We had our two kids with us so the cows were perfect for their entertainment, especially when they peek at the window to see what is going on! The cliff walk was ideally located and we loved walking there in tbe mornings. Host Sally is great!

Wonderful stay in Doolin
We spent four nights with 3 kids ranging 5-11. Everyone had a blast. The house was clean and updated with all the modern amenities while keeping the feel of an historical farm house. Being able to walk to the pubs, pitch and putt, the ferry and ice cream shop were a plus. We would highly recommend the castle house.

Magical Christmas in Doolin
This was our first time having Christmas away from either home or at family's, and it was fabulous. Sally was at the house to greet us and good not have been more helpful in managing our booking and stay. The house surpassed expectations and the surrounding area was breathtaking despite the December weather. We loved the walks, pubs and local hospitality. We highly recommend it for anyone thinking of doing the same.

Beautiful Location & Hostess
7 of us stayed at this property for 4 days in September. The location was absolutely beautiful as was proximity to things to do in the area. Sally was a wonderful hostess that provided the necessities and the property itself had everything we needed. Thank you! (And I have to say, the calves were an added bonus!)

Lovely and tranquil
Our stay was lovely, and our accommodations were wonderful. This home is truly a magical place to unwind. And so much to explore and visit nearby. We chartered a private boat trip of the Cliffs and Moher and a visit to Inisheer, one of our favorite experiences while in Doolin. I cannot say enough good things about our host family. Sally was welcoming and quite helpful with many items and information. We could have stayed many more days.

A Very Relaxing Getaway
The home is beautiful, clean, and situated in the perfect location. On one side of the home you can see the Atlantic waves crashing against the rock and on the other side you have rolling hills and a view of the Doonagore Castle. It is spacious, updated, and the hosts were very friendly. They even greeted us with food and snacks already in the pantry. It was a very relaxing getaway and wish we could have stayed longer!
