Thank you for taking the time to post a review Noel. It was a pleasure to host you and your family.
Very clean and close to everything in town. We walked everywhere! Saw some amazing Irish bands, drank at a few pubs, took a ferry for a day trip to the amazing aran islands. Host met us at check in and gave us a tour of the property and tips for things to do. Would definitely stay here again. It had all we needed and wanted. Thank you Niall and darra!
Wonderful place for a family experience of Ireland
Our family of three generations had a lovely stay at Sea View House in Doolin. It was everything we hoped for and more. Our hosts Darra and Niall were very welcoming and helpful, full of tips for things to do in the area. If we are fortunate enough to return to Doolin, we would definitely want to stay there again!
The entire experience was delightful. Our hosts were lovely, helpful, and the type of people you feel you have known - or wish you knew - your entire life. Such a beautiful accommodation and location. I would give this 10 stars if I could!
The location was perfect! Views of all kinds and memories that will last a life time! Niall and Darra were so pleasant and welcoming and very knowledgeable for tourist like ourselves. They had perfect recommendations for myself and family.

Our family had a very memorable stay and time in Doolin at the Sea View House. The view from the house is absolutely beautiful and Niall and Darra were the best hosts and so very friendly and informative about the area. Be sure to get the breakfast!! Also, a huge plus with having so many pubs close by and one right across the street. Highly recommend Sea View House for a fun relaxing holiday.

The Lodges @ Sea View House Doolin
Sea View House in Doolin was everything we'd hoped for - with lots of bonus extras. Niall and Darra are wonderful hosts and lifelong residents of the area -- real experts on what's good in and around Doolin and the Burren. Plus we got to make friends with their two horses Misty and Peggy.
The house is easy walk to Gus O'Connor's and the shops on Fisherstreet, and also a relatively short walk into the main part of the village. And the sea views are very real, we enjoyed them every evening.
Highly recommended.

The Lodges @ Sea View House Doolin
Our--all too short--trip to Doolin was made that much better by staying at the Seaview House. The home was beautifully appointed. We are a family of seven and it was perfect, we had room to spread out and room to gather. And you couldn't have asked for a better location, it was like a postcard. We walked everywhere and drove to many key attractions. Darra anticipated our needs, helped make reservations and provided us with great suggestions. My only advice would be to stay for awhile (at least longer than 2.5 days), Doolin and Darra are a terrific combination. I have only one word for our stay. . .superb.

Our family of 4 stayed here for 3 nights in June. You can’t ask for a better accommodation. Lovely house with 4 bedrooms each with its own bathroom and shower. A full kitchen. A fantastic deck with a fantastic view. Nestled in the hill you have a postcard view of a perfect Irish town and views of the sea all from the same spot. In three days we didn’t need to drive anywhere, everything is walkable. Beds are comfortable and the house is well decorated. Check in and and check out are easy. We will be back! You won’t go wrong!

About the host
Hosted by Niall Hughes
We live in Doolin and own and run The Lodges @ Sea View House. A collection of Luxury Lodges in Doolin Village. Together we have been in the tourism industry for over 35 yrs each.
Our Lodges We have a number of properties in Dooiln 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.
