June 2026. Fantastic property in a great location, close to Doolin and lots of restaurants and pubs.We picked a week in which Ireland sweltered in an unusual heatwave with temps up to 30 C. There are lots of windows for ventilation but it would be a great idea to have a few fans on standby for comfort.

We had a wonderful stay in this lovely home in a beautiful location with sea and island views. There is plenty to do and see locally and our host was so welcoming and accommodating. I would recommend Gorsehill for peace and quiet with plenty of life a short trip away.

Great location and fabulous house

big open floorplan with lots of light, great neighbours ( a bull, 3 cows and 6 calves) and a super central location to explore. Everything was exactly as described and Ann was a charm to work with.

A beautiful home away from home

We could not have felt cozier or more welcomed in Ann's lovely home. Likely that is because it *is* where she lives most of the year; it is full of thoughtful detail and has wonderful views. Her care for it is evident, and I will return as often as I can and as long as Ann allows it!

Peaceful and serene

Our stay was absolutely perfect. From the check in process to check out- Anns property was amazing. There were so many unique aspects of her space. We especially enjoyed the solarium space & the sound of wildlife was immaculate. Ann stocked us up with some essentials and made us an amazing apple tart. We had plenty of space that we thoroughly enjoyed.

Perfect location for our visit to Ireland

Hospitality is Ann's forte for sure. After traveling from the USA we received a warm welcome, easy check-in, a homemade apple tart, and refreshments to get our stay off to a great start. The house was our base camp for 10 days while we explored the Wild Atlantic Way and our family history. This beautiful property will not disappoint anyone considering it.

Wonderful Host and Gorgeous cottage

We had a truly delightful stay at Gorsehill in Doolin. We were greeted with a delicious homemade apple pie and essentials in the fridge. Cottage was perfect for an extended family, lots of different areas to hang out in and great access to the town. Host -Ann couldn’t have been more helpful. Would highly recommend.

Home away from home

Perfect host, perfect home. A great base from which to explore the area. Cliffs of Mohr, Limerick, Galway, Knock shrine, Ennis, The Burren, Aran Islands tour, etc are easy day trips. Good local pubs and restaurants nearby, and a warm cozy house and grounds in a setting just enough off of the tourist roadways to have quiet and privacy as the day winds down. Can’t ask for much else.

Lovely home in beautiful County Clare

We regularly rent homes on the west coast and this is a wonderful location to visit the Cliffs of Moher and the Aran Islands. Doolin is a delightful village about a 30 minute picturesque and easy walk on the “safer” route; half that on a busier road. The house was well-equipped and spacious, and charmingly decorated. The master bedroom and ensuite is particularly lovely.

Airy, warm and inviting

Ann is a wonderful host - providing more than we would have expected including a fresh warm apple pie. The house is charming and easily accessible to Doolin. There are lots of sweet cozy places to read inside on a rainy day and since it’s so close to town, you can pop in and back quickly. I would say the listing doesn’t do it justice. We would definitely stay there again and highly recommend it.

Very close to Doolin, Doolin trail to the cliffs of moher, wonderful pubs in Doolin. Host was amazing. Everything we needed for cooking, even a fresh apple pie and groceries provided for us.

Paradise near Doolin!

Oh my goodness, if I had a chance I would rate this home and location a 12 star!! We LOVED this place from the first time we saw it, until we left a week later! The owner Ann was amazing to deal with from start to finish! It was myself, my husband and 4 grown kids(2 sons/2 girlfriends) and we had ample room! The home is decorated beautifully with everything you would need on a holiday…and Ann even stocked the fridge with groceries that we would need right away…and made us a delicious apple pie! I cannot say enough good things about this place! Do yourself a favour, look no further and book this place!!

Wonderful time in wonderful house

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and felt very much at home in Ann's spacious and very comfortable house. Ann baked us a really delicious apple pie and yes, we now have the recipe! Many thanks for that! We will miss the gallery overlooking the sea and the sunset. The area around Doolin is also really beautiful, with the Cliffs Of Moher, the Aran Islands, the Burren, and Lahinch Beach with great waves for swimming and surfing. Absolutely recommendable!

Gorsehill

The house is very comfortable in every possible way and the owner has kindly included many extra touches to make you feel welcome! The garden is beautiful with options to relax outdoors or in a lovely covered area if raining! The location is superb for exploring Co. Clare. You will enjoy a very relaxing holiday at Gorsehill. The booking process was tricky as my search was picked up by VRBO USA and VRBO UK and there were price differences. It would be useful if people booking from Ireland could pay in Euros.

About the host

Hosted by Ann Doherty

Host profile image
This is my home for 6 months of the year. My work takes me away for the summer months. I'm sure you'll enjoy my house as much as I do.

Why they chose this property

I grew up in this area and I built this house in 2006 because I loved the site and remember visiting it when I was a kid
I love to go for walks towards Doonagore Castle down to Doolin beach to watch the sunset or along the coast walkway to Cliffs of Moher.

What makes this property unique

Situated on a quiet road, ideal for walking or cycling, yet only 10 to 15 min walk to restaurants, pubs and shops
