Wonderful, spacious home in incredible location, exactly as described. This was a perfect home base for walks in town, the Cliffs, day trip to Galway, and more. Darra and Niall were so kind and friendly and their attentiveness helped make our stay magical.
The location of this property was fantastic. It was very close (walking distance) to Cliffs of Moher and many local pubs and restaurants. The hosts were very helpful and responsive. I would recommend this property and would stay here again if I were visiting Doolin again.
Wonderful home in the Doolin area. Easily walkable and ideal location for any Lahinch golfers. Awesome bedrooms, sitting rooms, kitchen and deck. The hosts are wonderful!

We loved our stay in Doolin at the Sea View house. It was a great location, perfectly clean and spacious, with lots of extra touches (some Easter decorations, milk and juice in the refrigerator, etc.). Everything about staying there was easy and incredibly professional. We were even given recommendations on where to eat ahead of time, and all the places were fantastic. Thank you for a wonderful stay! Highly recommended!!

About the host
Hosted by Niall and Darra
We live in Doolin and own and run The Lodes @ Sea View House. A collection of Luxury Lodges in Doolin Village. Together we have been in the tourism industry for over 25 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.
