About this property

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The Stone House - Wild Atlantic Way

This house is truly a remarkable work of art. It was built to resemble an old stone barn and does so beautifully.

On the bottom floor there are two bedrooms both with en suite bathrooms. One bedroom has a king size bed while the other has a queen. There is a study just outside the master bedroom with a twin bed. Upstairs you will find a magnificent Great Room. At the one end there is a seating area in front of a gorgeous stone fireplace. At the other end you can sit and take in the Aran Islands, Galway Bay and breathtaking sunsets through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

In the center of the room, there is a kitchen area with an antique table. Also, hidden behind the fireplace, there is a powder room. The entire house has under floor heating which is truly decadent in the cool Irish countryside.

For those of you who wish to leave the house you will find abundant entertainment. There is a gorgeous sand beach just down the road. For the golfers in your group there is a world-class golf course just a few towns over in Lahinch. Also in Lahinch you will find some of the country's best surfing. Fanore is not as renowned for its surfing but does have a surf school every summer. And for those of you music lovers, Doolin is just one town over and is renowned for its traditional Irish music.

In addition Doolin has many incredible restaurants and pubs. And if you need to get out of the countryside and into a city, Galway is just an hour away. It’s a wonderful city. Despite its small size you can find most anything you need there. If you’re looking for a great bottle of Irish Whiskey or an unusual bottle of wine, go to The Vineyard then stop by Sheridan’s Cheesemongers where you will find an amazing selection of cheese from around the world. But for those who wish to explore Fanore, you will find gorgeous scenic walks and some of the best angling in the country. And if you want to see things from s different angle, go horseback riding. You’ll love it.

The house is just up the road from O'Donohue's Pub and a small grocery shop. Both of them are within walking distance.

**Please be aware that there is a cleaning fee to be left in Euros on your move out day and is calculated using the number of people in your party.

1-2 people: €100
3-4 people: €125

Additional €50 per pet added to cleaning fee.

The maximum number of guests is 4. If there are more people staying in the house than your reservation specifies, you will be required to pay the cleaning fee for the number of people who stayed. If you exceed the maximum number of guests, we will hold your ENTIRE security deposit. No exceptions.

Beautiful Stone House
We stayed here for 3 nights in August 2024 and this property is beautiful! You can really appreciate the Wild Atlantic Way at this home. There are two en-suite bedrooms and study with a twin bed on the lower level and this amazing entertaining/relaxing space upstairs. Amazing views of the Atlantic Ocean from side of the room and beautiful fireplace on the other side. The kitchen had everything you need to make a cup of tea to cooking a nice meal. We really enjoyed relaxing and recharging at this house. There is nice pub and little store for basics walking distance from the house and Doolin is just a 10 minute drive away with more pubs and ferry to the Aran Islands. On a clear day, you could see the Aran Islands and across Galway Bay. I highly recommend this place

Amazing!
This is one of those special places that the fantastic pictures can’t even capture. From the view to the location to the communication with Dierdre and Anna, this was easily our best vacation rental ever. We had so much fun exploring the area - based largely on the incredible guidance from Dierdre. And Anna was such a delight when we arrived. If they ever sell this place, the line of prospective buyers will be long, but we will be in it! If you’re reading this and considering staying here, go ahead and book it. You’ll be so pleased that you did. We will be back for sure.

Incredible Property
I can't say enough about the Stone House and Fanore in general. We had an incredible stay at this property. Communication with the owner and the property manager were stellar, and the property and location were fantastic for our family of four. If this property is available, don't hesitate to reserve. You will not be disappointed.

A vacation of a lifetime!
My mom, 89, wanted a place where she and her kids could be together in comfort and see something new. The Stone House was the perfect base from which to explore the west coast of Ireland. The house was creative and cozy and special. We absolutely loved it and would recommend it to anyone.

Fantastic Stay at the Stone House
We have stayed in many vacation rentals over the years and I can easily say that this one has been the best. The Stone House prives that a rental can be even better than the pictures show. When we first saw this on VRBO, the whole family agreed that it was the ine for us and it did not disappoint. Communication, check in, the stay, and checkout were all a breeze. The house itself and its surroundings simply exemplify the magic of Ireland's western coast. If you are even considering staying at the Stone House, don't let it get away. Our stay was simply perfect!

Wonderful!
Fantastic house in a magical setting close to the water. Panoramic 180 views of the sea which you really don't see in the pictures. Quiet, comfortable - the underfloor heating was so effective in late October. Easy access to neighboring towns and sights. Surprised to find no TV - they really should let you know that. But finally it was grand not to have a one. Card games in front of the fire were the antidote. Can't wait to go back. Thank you to the LIghtfoots!!

The view is stunning, the house beautifully decorated, and has every amenity. The great room is such a wonderful space to hang out in. I can't imagine anything improving these houses. Plenty of hot water, working fireplaces, kitchen well equipped. And the area is fantastic as well. Loved listening to music at pubs in Doolin. Great guide for walk on Burren (Tony Kirby). We were in heaven! Thank you!

Truly magical!
This was our second stay at the Stone House and it was just as wonderful as the first time. We were greeted at the house by Anna and she is simply delightful! Our group enjoys cooking and the kitchen and the big long table are amazing. The view from the deck is breathtaking and we enjoyed several lovely sunsets. The photos of the house don’t really do it justice. This is a place that needs to be experienced. The Lightfoot family (who we had the pleasure of meeting on this trip) having lovingly created a truly magical destination. We’re so grateful for our time in Fanore or look forward to the next visit. Thank you friends!

Beautiful View
The views from the balcony are breathtaking. This house is the perfect place to escape from city life. The only drawback of the location is the lack of places to eat close by. There is one pub, but the menu is limited to burgers right now, and the pub simply did not open on the Wednesday night of our stay. The house is beautiful and spacious - if you are looking for a quiet, peaceful place to enjoy quiet solitude…this is it. Enjoy!
