A beautiful home away from home

We could not have felt cozier or more welcomed in Ann's lovely home. Likely that is because it *is* where she lives most of the year; it is full of thoughtful detail and has wonderful views. Her care for it is evident, and I will return as often as I can and as long as Ann allows it!

Great location and fabulous house

big open floorplan with lots of light, great neighbours ( a bull, 3 cows and 6 calves) and a super central location to explore. Everything was exactly as described and Ann was a charm to work with.

Excellent house with a view

We stayed for a week in Anne's beautiful country house. Everything was exactly as described, even the delicous apple cake! We walked the cliff path up to the Cliffs of Moher and played the Doolin Pitch&Put 3 times. Highly recommendable.

Gorsehill

The house is very comfortable in every possible way and the owner has kindly included many extra touches to make you feel welcome! The garden is beautiful with options to relax outdoors or in a lovely covered area if raining! The location is superb for exploring Co. Clare. You will enjoy a very relaxing holiday at Gorsehill. The booking process was tricky as my search was picked up by VRBO USA and VRBO UK and there were price differences. It would be useful if people booking from Ireland could pay in Euros.

A Perfect Getaway Near Doolin

Our stay at this holiday home was nothing short of spectacular. The house itself is incredibly spacious and tastefully furnished, providing a comfortable and inviting atmosphere. The breathtaking sea views and the stunning vistas from the gallery were simply unforgettable. The location, while a bit secluded, offers the ultimate in peace and tranquility. We cherished the serene environment, far from the hustle and bustle, making it the perfect retreat. One of the highlights of our stay was enjoying dinner on the terrace at sunset – an experience that was truly magical. To top it all off, we were warmly welcomed by the exceptionally friendly host, Ann, who greeted us with a fantastic homemade apple pie upon our arrival. This thoughtful gesture made us feel right at home. We highly recommend this property for anyone looking to experience the beauty and tranquility of the Irish countryside near Doolin. It was an unforgettable stay, and we can’t wait to return!

Beautiful Days at Gorsehill

Gorsehill house lived up to our expectations! The property was everything we expected given the pictures and descriptions. Terrific property with plenty of space to stretch and relax when chilly and drizzly, convenient for us to get around County Clare to the places we wanted to go, and what fun sitting in the back yard looking out toward the ocean listening to the on property stream gurgle in the background. Convenient corner grocery and gas about 2km away was tremendous for ease of topping off groceries without needing to drive a longer distance into nearby villages. We hiked from Doolin along the cliff edge path to the Cliffs of Moher visitor center, and back, about 6 hours roundtrip walking, amazing views! Other highlights were fun relaxed horse trail ride from Mountain View Horse Centre, took ferry to explore Inis Oirr (Aran Islands), and walked around The Burren. Definitely recommend this property for exploring County Clare, Doolin, The Burren, and Cliffs of Moher.

Gorsehill ist ein wunderschönes Haus mit viel Platz und Komfort in herrlicher Umgebung. Die positiven Beschreibungen auf der Webseite und in den Bewertungen sind absolut zutreffend. Die Gastgeberin Ann empfing uns herzlich mit einem frischen Apfelkuchen und im Kühlschrank fanden wir die wichtigsten Lebensmittel für die ersten Tage. Das Haus liegt sehr ruhig und die nächsten Nachbarn sind Kühe, Hasen und Vögel. Nach Doolin kommt man zu Fuß in etwa 30 min oder mit dem Auto in 5 min. Wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen und können Gorsehill uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen.

Paradise near Doolin!

Oh my goodness, if I had a chance I would rate this home and location a 12 star!! We LOVED this place from the first time we saw it, until we left a week later! The owner Ann was amazing to deal with from start to finish! It was myself, my husband and 4 grown kids(2 sons/2 girlfriends) and we had ample room! The home is decorated beautifully with everything you would need on a holiday…and Ann even stocked the fridge with groceries that we would need right away…and made us a delicious apple pie! I cannot say enough good things about this place! Do yourself a favour, look no further and book this place!!

Peaceful and serene

Our stay was absolutely perfect. From the check in process to check out- Anns property was amazing. There were so many unique aspects of her space. We especially enjoyed the solarium space & the sound of wildlife was immaculate. Ann stocked us up with some essentials and made us an amazing apple tart. We had plenty of space that we thoroughly enjoyed.

Wonderful time in wonderful house

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and felt very much at home in Ann's spacious and very comfortable house. Ann baked us a really delicious apple pie and yes, we now have the recipe! Many thanks for that! We will miss the gallery overlooking the sea and the sunset. The area around Doolin is also really beautiful, with the Cliffs Of Moher, the Aran Islands, the Burren, and Lahinch Beach with great waves for swimming and surfing. Absolutely recommendable!

Wonderful Host and Gorgeous cottage

We had a truly delightful stay at Gorsehill in Doolin. We were greeted with a delicious homemade apple pie and essentials in the fridge. Cottage was perfect for an extended family, lots of different areas to hang out in and great access to the town. Host -Ann couldn’t have been more helpful. Would highly recommend.

Home away from home

Perfect host, perfect home. A great base from which to explore the area. Cliffs of Mohr, Limerick, Galway, Knock shrine, Ennis, The Burren, Aran Islands tour, etc are easy day trips. Good local pubs and restaurants nearby, and a warm cozy house and grounds in a setting just enough off of the tourist roadways to have quiet and privacy as the day winds down. Can’t ask for much else.

Airy, warm and inviting

Ann is a wonderful host - providing more than we would have expected including a fresh warm apple pie. The house is charming and easily accessible to Doolin. There are lots of sweet cozy places to read inside on a rainy day and since it’s so close to town, you can pop in and back quickly. I would say the listing doesn’t do it justice. We would definitely stay there again and highly recommend it.

This is my home for 6 months of the year. My work takes me away for the summer months. I'm sure you'll enjoy my house as much as I do.

Why they chose this property

I grew up in this area and I built this house in 2006 because I loved the site and remember visiting it when I was a kid
I love to go for walks towards Doonagore Castle down to Doolin beach to watch the sunset or along the coast walkway to Cliffs of Moher.

What makes this property unique

Situated on a quiet road, ideal for walking or cycling, yet only 10 to 15 min walk to restaurants, pubs and shops
