About this property

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. 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.

Seriously Amazing
What? How does a place like this still exist on earth? It was so incredible to stay at this gorgeous house in such an idyllic sweet town. A Walk to the beach. A sit on the deck in the blowing wind. The house is so warm and cozy. The kitchen fully stocked. We named the beds ‘cloud beds’ because they are incredibly comfortable. There is nothing you can do that isn’t amazing. O‘connors Pub in Doolin and O’locclainns Whiskey Bar in BallVaughn are fun for a pint. You are very lucky if you get to spend time here.

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.

Beautiful remote getaway
The house is comfortable, well designed and has a beautiful view out onto the ocean. The location is perfect, you are a 15 minute walk from the beautiful Fanore beach and a 20 minute drive into Doolin town with it's brilliant pubs and music. We spent a lot of our time by the fire, cooking and drinking wine, it was perfect for a New Year getaway.

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!
