Blue Sky Cottage is perched atop Doonagore, a short drive from Doolin village. From this high point, you'll enjoy views of the Atlantic Ocean, Aran Islands and uninterrupted blue sky. The cottage is a great base to enjoy music in the famous Doolin pubs, beach in Lahinch and the harbour village of Liscannor.
Our charming cottage dates back to a little after the famine and restored to keep the original character, complemented by carefully selected period pieces to maintain its authentic charm.

The space
The cottage dates from just after the famine and was lovingly restored a few years ago. Staying here is like going back in time.

The renovation preserved as much of the original character of the cottage as we could and we have bought many period pieces to keep the cottage authentic.

The cottage has a double bedroom and bathroom. In the lounge there is a sofa. In the lounge there is a wood-burning stove. The lounge leads into a pine countered kitchen.

Doonagore is quiet and rural, yet the buzz of the coastal villages of Doolin, Lahinch and Liscannor are only a few minutes away.

Every day you will discover something new in the ever changing colors and hues of this most spectacular part of the world. You will truly forget what you left behind.

Guest access
The cottage has off-road driveway parking and access to the a washer-dryer in the outside shed. There are picnic benches front and rear. The cottage has full central heating and a wood burning range in the lounge.

Other things to note
To help make thing as smooth and easy as possible, here are a few “frequently asked questions” and answers. Of course, if there is something we haven’t covered please do get in touch.

How long should we spend at the Cottage to see the area?
The commonest feedback we receive from guests is that they wish they had stayed longer. We’d say three days is a good balance between the desire to see all of Ireland and the desire to see all that the area has to offer. Our minimum stay is two nights; of course you can stay longer (we have guests who have stated for a month and still felt they needed a bit longer to see everything!).

Can we get to the Cottage by public transport (or walking)?
You can… but it would be quite a challenge. The nearest bus stop is at the bottom of the hill and it is a fair walk to the Cottage. You’d then find it a bit tiresome (and tiring) trying to get around without a car.

Cycling is a good option. We have had guests who have stayed at the Cottage on their cycle tour around Ireland. There is a secure shed for bikes to be stored in overnight.

When do I get travel directions?
Three days prior to arrival you will receive check-in details and one of our team will be in contact on the day of arrival also once the cottage is ready for check-in.

If you are arriving really late then that’s fine too, we will leave the Cottage open for you and we will come by the next day to say “hello” and make sure you are settled.

There will be a small Welcome Pack waiting for you, with tea, coffee, etc; enough to keep you going before you get to the shops.

Where you’ll be

Doolin, Clare, Ireland

Sitting on a quiet country road in Doonagore with the buzz of Doolin, Lahinch, and Liscannor villages only minutes away, the cottages were built around 1850 for the stonecutters who lived in Doonagore during the days the stone quarry was working.

Lives in Doolin, Ireland
After working for a number of years over-seas, we have recently retired and returned to Ireland. We own and manage a number of properties in the UK and Ireland – but we particularly enjoy restoring, refurbishing and modernizing 19th century authentic post-famine traditional Irish cottages. We are also antique collectors, so we love finding and featuring Irish country antique furniture and photographs in our cottages. Sharing this authentic Irish experience is something we love to offer our guests. Because we ourselves are nature and animal lovers, and spend a lot of time hiking, cycling, golfing, surfing, bird-watching and dog-walking, we love living in Doolin. We are proud to offer you a delightful cozy Irish-cottage experience on a spectacular point in Doolin, that gives our guests panoramic views of the Atlantic, the Cliffs and the Aran Islands. This is a magical place that will take you back in time……. cead mile failte! Phil and Val
