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.

We had someone meet us for checking, which was nice. There were a lot of lables on switches which is helpful in a different setting, although some were worn off and hard to read. We had a problem with heat while there..but the host was attentive and did multiple things to try and fix, they even brought over some wood so we could use the fireplace.A beautiful location and place and a nice quiet relaxing village right down the road. Would definitely stay again.

This home was everything described in the listing! Dierdre was warm and helpful with questions, the property was beautiful, and very clean. Anna, who I assume is the property caretaker, even provided a surprise 65th birthday gift for my husband!The views are extraordinary, and it is a short walk to the nearest restaurant, pub, and a small grocery store. Be sure to take the walk to the beach!

We had a wonderful time at The Stone House! I especially loved all the artwork inside and out in the garden. We enjoyed a couple meals at O'Donohues and explored the Burren and Ballyvaughan. Our stay was April 1-4 and it was COLD... I wish we would have gotten more supplies to keep a fire going the entire time we were in the house because the upstairs was quite cold! But the beds were cozy so we slept well. My only complaint is that we couldn't stay longer! :)

Great ocean views, beautiful decor, a comfortable bed and very warm. What more could one ask for? The pub up the road with a roaring fire and delicious food! I am afraid to go on as we would like to stay in Stone House again! Luckily we love the West of Ireland in the winter and walking the Burren in the peace and quiet so hopefully there will always be room for us. Gary and Sharon

Had a very relaxing week in this lovely property in a great location. The place is very comfortable and peaceful - great for opening a bottle of wine and catching up with your reading. The local pub is an easy stroll away and offered a very warm welcome, great beer and excellent food. Our holiday preference is a self-catered property let. We've holidayed like this throughout Europe over the last 30 years, The Stone House would definitely rank highly in our Top 10 of properties we've stayed in over all those years. We were very sad to be leaving - hopefully we'll manage to get back there if Deirdre would be good enough to have us. Da iawn. Diolch yn fawr iawn.

This is a great house, overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, and was just what we wanted (a quiet week, with no deadlines or schedules.) We expected rainy weather, but were very lucky and enjoyed a beautiful week of sunny skies and mild temperatures. Plenty of nearby sightseeing (Cliffs of Moher, the Doolin Cave, the Burren, etc) if desired, but watching the surf crash on the rocks as the sun sets behind the Aran Islands, with a glass of good whiskey...that was grand! Fanore is small, with one pub, one cafe (coffee, tea, sandwiches, pastries), and one very small shop (bacon, eggs, and, thank goodness, wine), but all those enterprises are an easy walk from Stone House, and everyone at all three spots was very accommodating and helpful. We highly recommend this house.

The Stone House is ln a beautiful location and convenient to explore much of the Ireland "Wild Atlantic Way". Iti is unique in it's design. We felt like it was absolutely even more than we expected. We enjoyed our visit with the owners also. We would highly recommend a stay there if you are able.

Can’t be to the views

Beautiful property. There is a small grocery store and pub just a short walk away. The showers were particularly nice - hot and great water pressure - and you appreciate this all the more if you’ve spent the day out in the wind and rain. A short drive to Doolin and the Cliffs. Would definitely recommend this property.

Incredibly charming house with an amazing view!

We stayed at the Stone House for 4 nights and hated to leave. We were delighted with everything about the house itself, and the view of the ocean and cows was amazing! Being in the Burren was really wonderful and we visited many of the places recommended by our hosts. The pub down the street had delicious food and we tended to avoid the crowds of Doolin. I can’t recommend this house highly enough and we hope to come back some day.

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.

Beautiful Stone House

We stayed here for 3 nights in August 2024 and this property is beautiful! You can really appreciate the Wild Atlantic Way at this home. There are two en-suite bedrooms and study with a twin bed on the lower level and this amazing entertaining/relaxing space upstairs. Amazing views of the Atlantic Ocean from side of the room and beautiful fireplace on the other side. The kitchen had everything you need to make a cup of tea to cooking a nice meal. We really enjoyed relaxing and recharging at this house. There is nice pub and little store for basics walking distance from the house and Doolin is just a 10 minute drive away with more pubs and ferry to the Aran Islands. On a clear day, you could see the Aran Islands and across Galway Bay. I highly recommend this place

This is one of those special places that the fantastic pictures can’t even capture. From the view to the location to the communication with Dierdre and Anna, this was easily our best vacation rental ever. We had so much fun exploring the area - based largely on the incredible guidance from Dierdre. And Anna was such a delight when we arrived. If they ever sell this place, the line of prospective buyers will be long, but we will be in it! If you’re reading this and considering staying here, go ahead and book it. You’ll be so pleased that you did. We will be back for sure.

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.
