We live in Doolin and own and run The Lodes @ Sea View House. A collection of Luxury Lodges in Doolin Village. Together we have been in the tourism industry for over 25 yrs each.

Our Lodges
We have a number of properties in Doolin village.
Ocean View Lodge, Fisherstreet Lodge, Castle View Lodge, and Horseshoe House. All with stunning views and in the best locations. All our properties are approved and inspected by Failte Ireland, Ireland's national tourism body.

SUSTAINABLE TOURISM:
We are also passionate about sustainable tourism. We believe that ecotourism is the way for Doolin and the Burren and Cliffs of Moher Geopark to develop tourism in a sustainable way. We try to consider the environment in all that we do. It is absolutely vital that we look towards long term, sustainable solutions that protect our outdoor spaces and minimize harmful CO2 emissions.

USE OF RENEWABLE ENERGY
To minimize our CO2 emissions, wee primarily use renewable energy sources. Photovoltaic solar panels convert energy from the sun into electricity which is stored in our battery bank and used to run our hot tubs and provide electricity to the lodges. Flatplate solar collectors convert energy from the sun providing hot water for Lodge bathrooms and kitchens. We use BIO LPG produced from renewable feedstocks such as plant and vegetable waste material to heat the lodges.

We have also taken steps to lower energy consumption throughout our properties, using advanced heating controls, LED lighting, motion-sensitive lighting and lots of insulation.

BURREN ECOTOURISM NETWORK
We are long-standing members of The Burren Ecotourism Network. The Burren Ecotourism Network is a network of tourism enterprises with the objective of establishing the Burren as a premier internationally-recognized sustainable tourism region ensuring the future economic and social growth and sustainable development of its communities, environment, and heritage.

Our Fisherstreet Lodge is located on the edge of Fisherstreet in Doolin Village. Doolin is on the Wild Atlantic Way and boasts some of the most breathtaking scenery in Ireland. Doolin is a colorful and welcoming village and has something for everyone.

Doolin is located at the center of the UNESCO Burren and Cliffs of Moher Geo Park. With the historic Burren to the north, and the majestic Cliffs of Moher to the south. Doolin’s dramatic landscape cannot easily be forgotten.
You can take a clifftop walk breathing in the crisp, salty Atlantic air while appreciating the beautiful wildflowers, explore the rugged landscape or go on an Atlantic cruise to appreciate the unique coastline from a different perspective.

Doolin is the home of traditional Irish music, with plenty of music and craic to be had every night. A charming and vibrant coastal village, Doolin is packed full of culture, music, and Irish heritage, combined with the best seafood, scenery, boutique shopping, adventures, and hospitality. With its year-round music sessions and local festivals, there has never been a better or more exciting time to visit Doolin in County Clare.

Fisherstreet Lodge is a great base to explore everything that the Burren region has to offer. Walk the Cliffs of Moher Coastal Trail, visit the Aran Islands by boat, discover the great stalactite at Doolin Cave, surf a wild Atlantic wave, and adventure in the great outdoors of The Burren and Cliffs of Moher UNESCO Global Geopark - a handful of the many adventures that await.

We love the Ivy Cottage which is set by the river in beautiful surroundings Just a 2-minute walk from your Lodge it's a great place for lunch or dinner. They are best known for their chowder and fresh locally sourced seafood.

Another favorite. Located next door to the Lodge, at Anthony’s you can experience a taste of the Burren and enjoy some of the freshest taste experiences around, with local artisanal produce being at the core of their food ethos

This is a unique and one-of-a-kind property in Doolin. While it is located in the center of Doolin on the edge of Fisherstreet, it's surrounded by farmland with cattle, horses, and even a 500 yr old castle.
