This is the 2nd time I have stayed in this lovely, historic Doolin farmhouse. Our family of 7 had plenty of room in the house. The views of the ocean and Doonagore castle are spectacular! We also enjoyed watching the cattle on the farm. Will definitely return if we get back to Doolin.

Pictures don’t do this property justice. The house was immaculate, spotless clean. Sally was the ultimate host, exceeding our expectations! This was the closest you could get to the cliffs and everything in town was within walking distance. Check in and out was flawless and sally responded to any request immediately. We had an amazing time!

Castle View House is exceptional. Our family of six VRBO for nearly all of our vacations and this stay was beyond compare. The house is as gorgeous as it is pictured and its setting is breathtaking. Inside is beautifully appointed and perfectly clean. Sally is a gracious, welcoming host who met us at the door to guide us through the check in. She even stocked our fridge with fresh, local foods and homemade bread! Only two of our sons (15 and 17) accompanied us on this trip and they fell in love with the spaciousness of the house and the immediate access to the Cliffs of Moher Walk outside our door. The house has everything a family needs to fully relax. The kitchen is perfectly equipped and welcoming. The dining and sitting rooms provide more areas to relax and enjoy the view of the castle and sea from the windows. Bedrooms are lovely and comfortable, affording everyone both privacy and access to the gorgeous farm views. Doolin village is a five minute walk down the hill. We went down all but one of our five night stay to enjoy the amazing live music sessions that simply happen Gus O’Connors. (And the food is great, too! Awesome fish and chips and curry.)We walked to the Doolin Ferry and spent a day in Inish Mor followed by the breathtaking Cliffs of Moher add-on trip. A quick drive and we were hiking the Burren and enjoying the Aillwee Cave. We also did a day trip to Blarney Castle and were home in time to make dinner. We simply loved it and recommend it highly.

Castleview House - Doolin Ireland

The house is absolutely amazing and the location has stunning views. There were 8 of us and the layout of the house was perfect. We had the space we needed so that we didn't feel crowded and yet a living room to meet in the evenings. Everything was well stocked and Sally added personal touches by doing some shopping for us. Lovely town and the people are so welcoming. I'd stay here again. LOVE this home.

House was in an ideal location for Doolin/Cliffs of Moher. Pubs, shops, restaurants all within walking distance. The hosts were simply the best. They stocked the pantry prior to arriving which was a bonus! Communication with the host was quick, as we had many questions , answers came right away. Checkin and checkout simple. It does have a castle view and the Ocean is quite close. The Cliffs of Moher walking/hiking trail is just next to the driveway. Great for our larger group.
