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.

It was a super place. Well furnished. Very homey. Incredible view of Doonagore Castle directly in front and below and through to a full view of the wild Atlantic Way and the Aran Islands. Cows were grazing in front of us.

So much to love about Doolin...Six days just weren’t enough to fully enjoy everything this wonderful home and its surrounding area have to offer. Spectacular scenery, delicious food, traditional music, and warm hospitality are plentiful in the charming town of Doolin. I had grand plans of spending hours sitting in the conservatory or on the patio, taking in the view, but most of our time was spent out exploring as much as possible in the limited time we had. The cottage was the perfect spot for our party of six to recharge before heading out on our next adventure. I’m already planning our next trip back.

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!

Breathtaking views and charm abound

We absolutely loved this property. It's situated on a grassy hill above a beautiful tower ruin and the sea. The town of Doolin is darling with lots of little shops and the great pub Gus O'Connors, and the larger town of Lisdoonvarna has supplies like a pharmacy, market, gas, etc. Easy to find. Clean. Great views. I wish we could have stayed a month!

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.
