About this property

Thatched Roof, Elegant Cottage in Doolin, Spectacular Views, Tranquil

This beautiful home in Doolin, Ireland was built in 1998 as a traditional, thatched-roof, Irish cottage and contains all modern amenities.

Each of the bedrooms is en suite, with antique pine furniture. The master bedroom has a queen size bed and the two guest rooms each have twin beds. The master bath has a bathtub and shower. The house has wireless access.

The Great Room has a two story fireplace, conveniently gas fired. There is a panoramic conservatory with 180 degree views, including Cecil B. Demille sunsets.

The view from the house was featured in the September 2007 issue of Conde Nast Traveler magazine. The striking Doonagore Castle, one of the most photographed castles in Ireland, is located immediately down the hill from the cottage and is framed by the conservatory windows. A round tower built c.1350, Doonagore Castle was entirely restored in 1975.

The cottage is surrounded by grazing cattle, lending another level of tranquility to the idyllic setting.

A circular driveway brings guests close to the front door, should there ever be inclement weather! We joke that our favorite occupation is sitting in the conservatory and watching the weather change.

When the cottage was being built, one of the builders suggested naming the cottage. He said we should name it Draiocht, which means a magical place, and it is.

We specifically rented this cottage for the view and we were not disappointed. The round tower home in the foreground with the ocean backdrop makes for a wonderful picture. It’s a rustic cottage but still provides what you need in the kitchen, bedrooms and baths. Not a walk to town, but taxi drivers are available. Thank you for a lovely stay.

The home was clean. It had everything you could possibly need the instructions on starting the fire. We’re very clear and the view was magnificent. If you’re coming to Doolin this is the place to stay.

What a beautiful home! Clean, comfortable, and with an incredible view! Our favorite features were the conservatory overlooking the castle and the Atlantic, and the spacious layout with bedrooms and bathrooms on opposite ends of the house, which provided plenty of privacy. The kitchen was very well appointed, and the location was perfect for day trips and exploring the area.The host was extremely helpful and accommodating, especially when we realized we had left a jacket behind. She quickly made arrangements for us to get it back, which we truly appreciated. We would absolutely choose this rental again!

Charming, Clean and Stunning Views

My husband and I and two young adult children had a fantastic stay at this cottage. From outside, every direction you look in are absolutely stunning -- postcard perfect. Inside, everything we needed was available so we could readily have breakfasts, dinners and snacks while doing excursions during the day. The location was also quite central for doing day trips. Ahead of time, the host made accommodations for a special request which I'm so grateful for. Highly recommend!

About the host

Host profile image
My dear father built this house in 1998, after he had spent a considerable amount of time in Ireland and Northern Ireland supporting the Good Friday Peace Accords. He and my mother fell in love with this extraordinary part of the West of Ireland and built a home that became his great love.
