Right at the start of The Cliffs of Moher Walking Trail you will be ideally placed to tour the famous Burren and The Aran Islands as well as The Cliffs of Moher.

There are four large double bedrooms, all with stunning countryside and cliff views through the large windows. Two bedroom are ensuite and the other two share an adjoining bathroom.
Downstairs there are three large reception rooms, a formal dining room with views to Doonagore Castle, a large stately drawing room with an outlook of Doonagore Castle and The Cliffs of Moher. Both rooms feature wood burning stoves for cosy evenings in.
A large country style kitchen fully equipped with all mod cons with a fantastic enclosed cooker in a stone archway completes the living space where you can gather around the large kitchen table enjoying views of cows grazing just outside.
If you care to venture out take a walk to Doolin Village just 5mns down the road where you will find pubs, cafes, an hotel and several craft shops, 10mns away catch a ferry with regurlar service to The Aran Islands.
You will want to return again and again to Castle View House when you have been captivated by it's peace and tranquility.

A great stay on the near Cliffs of Moher

There were seven in our group, four adults and three teenagers. The home was very comfortable with plenty of room. It was a good jumping off point for day trips to Galway and Shannon, and lots of sightseeing in between. Sally was a great host, and very quickly responded to a couple of requests we had. Highly recommend!

Great Location & Views

Great views and location! Spacious and we didnt even use all the rooms! They also have livestock and we were able to see a new born calf halfway thru our stay. Communicating was easy and house is emaculate. She provides some staple foods as well like brown bread, orange juice, milk and butter. Great place!

The place for a peaceful heart.

We have rented innumerable VRBO properties, and none of them beat this for the quality of the accommodations, the location and majegtic views, and the convenience of local services and activities. Situated within sight of the North Atlantic and just steps from the northern end of the Clliffs of Moher, a short drive to butchers, bakers, and . . . well, no candlestick makers, but all the shops one could possibly need, Castle View House is off the charts. The only issue we had was leaving as it truly felt like home. This is the perfect respite in a troubled world.

Amazing location and so cozy

This was a great location for us as we wanted to experience the beauty of the cliffs outside of the every day tourist section. The house was a great size. Sally and her family are in the adjoining front section and she let us in to show us around and explain the workings of the house. The recycling/rubbish information was quite extensive and you are expected to take all bottles to the recycling station behind a local pub as well as separate general rubbish with plastic recycling and food scraps additionally. You are also asked to clean some areas and floors of the house but you are not charged a cleaning fee so we felt this was fair. All in all a great stay.

Castle View House

What a fantastic place to stay. The location was remarkable; the owners couldn’t be better; the house was roomy, well-appointed, very comfortable, and an easy walk to all local attractions. We’ve stayed in a number of vrbo houses and this is the best!

Pristine home with great views!

Castle View House was pristine! We all loved watching the cows from our windows and walking around the beautiful property. The house was very well stocked with all that we could need to cook a few meals and take care of the family on vacation. Our host, Sally, left us bread, milk, eggs and some essentials to get us started upon arrival. We felt very welcomed and comfortable!

Perfect place for a family celebration!

Castleview House was nothing short of magical! Beautifully renovated historical house with a view of a castle AND cliffs by the sea! The house was exceptionally clean and well-equipped, and in a perfect location - pubs and music of Doolin, outdoor adventures at the Cliffs of Moher and Arran Islands, and a short drive to other sites like Blarney castle and Galway. Sally welcomed us with basic provisions, wine, AND homemade brown bread. Could not have been more perfect! We look forward to coming back!

Fabulous stay at Castle View

My husband, 3 children and I had a wonderful stay at Castle View. Sally is a lovely host and very accommodating. The property is exactly as pictured and described and overall Doolin exceeded our expectations. Castle View provided us with the unique element of being partially immersed in the Irish culture.
