This beautiful home in Doolin, Ireland was built in 1998 as a traditional, thatched-roof, Irish cottage and contains all modern amenities.

Each of the bedrooms is en suite, with antique pine furniture. The master bedroom has a queen size bed and the two guest rooms each have twin beds. The master bath has a bathtub and shower. The house has wireless access.

The Great Room has a two story fireplace, conveniently gas fired. There is a panoramic conservatory with 180 degree views, including Cecil B. Demille sunsets.

The view from the house was featured in the September 2007 issue of Conde Nast Traveler magazine. The striking Doonagore Castle, one of the most photographed castles in Ireland, is located immediately down the hill from the cottage and is framed by the conservatory windows. A round tower built c.1350, Doonagore Castle was entirely restored in 1975.

The cottage is surrounded by grazing cattle, lending another level of tranquility to the idyllic setting.

A circular driveway brings guests close to the front door, should there ever be inclement weather! We joke that our favorite occupation is sitting in the conservatory and watching the weather change.

When the cottage was being built, one of the builders suggested naming the cottage. He said we should name it Draiocht, which means a magical place, and it is.

- "We had a wonderful stay in this idyllic home above the town of Doolin. The breathtaking view from the conservatory and convenience to town and the cliffs made our stay all the more memorable. We highly recommend this place for a stay on The Wild Atlantic Way." - "Impressive country house with stunning views of the Doolin harbour and Aran islands. Clean, comfortable, very private accommodations with more room than the two of us could ever use. A great home base for exploring the West coast, very close to the Cliffs of Moher. A few minor problems: someone needs to reprogram the free-to-air sat receiver as the channel definitions for the default U.K. stations do not seem to work; Irish stations are fine. There apparently was no need to check-in at the caretaker’s inn ahead of time as the house key was already left at the rental property. This may have been because the caretakers themselves were not there to greet us, just a member of the inn staff, and she seemed a bit confused as why we were there. In spite of these very minor issues, we had a wonderful time at this property and would go back in a minute."

- "The house is great. It is so beautiful and spacious! We had 9 family members and there was plenty of places in the house to have quiet time. Plenty of room outside for children to run around. The beds were very comfortable. Kitchen is well equipped. One suggestion is that there be a few more towels. There was only 1 bath towel per person and only 5 hand towels to share. Not enough for a week’s stat. Except for the master bedroom, most of the towels were thin. More and better towels would require less washing of towels and save on electricity. The location was perfect. It as easy ride to town and many attractions."
