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.

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.

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.

Ideal Coastal Country Basecamp

The house and property are authentic, charming, and very high quality. The nearly 200 year old house was renovated recently but kept historic aesthetic and materials. Excellent location relatively close to many of the western coastal attractions, small towns, and activities. Host was very communicative and helpful.

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.

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.

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!

Perfect Place

This property is truly unbelievable! Before you even enter the home you know you are somewhere magical. My children didn't even make it out of the car before they spotted the cows that live on site - a definite highlight for sure! The rental is incredible - every detail thought of. From the well stocked kitchen, the games cupboard, the linens and toiletries, everything is ready for you to relax and enjoy the splendours of County Clare. We loved the house so much - a space for everyone and we just adored the grand feeling of each room (the window seats will be missed once home). Sally was so welcoming and such a wonderful host - cannot give enough praise! We highly recommend McDermott's Pub and Doolin Cave! And if you are up for a culinary delight then pop up to Homestead Cottage for an unreal tasting experience.
