Location
Danubio
house is located on the
N67 Kilkee-Miltown Malbay road (see map)
in rural countryside near the sand-dunes
of Doughmore Strand and
just one
minute drive
from the entrance to Doonbeg Golf Links Course. The long
sandy beach of Doughmore Strand and
the spectacular
natural stonewall of Clogher Strand separating Lake Donnell from the
Atlantic are just a short distance away.
Doonbeg
The village with its shops, pubs and restaurants
is 10 min. driving time from the house.
We
arrange transportation if necessary.
Kilrush & Kilkee
Kilrush is the capital of West Clare. This busy market town has a marina, from which boats leave to historic Scattery Island and to dolphin watching tours.
Kilkee with its scenic sheltered harbour and beach is a favourite Irish holiday destination. The spectacular rocky coast along Loop Head Peninsula is one of Ireland's most scenic coastlines.

Doughmore Strand
is
one of the most beautiful beaches on Clare's West Coast. Over
2.5 km of beautiful clean sand offers plenty of
room for walking and enjoying the ever
changing Irish skies and the rolling
Atlantic waves. These
waters are among the best in Ireland for surfing but are not safe for
swimming. However, Blue Flag beaches
like White Strand near
Doonbeg, Cappa Pier near
Kilrush, White Strand near
Miltown Malbay as well as the sandy beaches of Quilty and
Spanish Point are all only a short driving distance away.
West
Clare
has
plenty to offer for all tastes. The scenic and historic sights of
County Clare - including the Cliffs of Moher, Bunratty Castle, the
Burren region - are all within easy reach of Danubio house.
However, West Clare itself is still one of the best-kept secrets on
the Irish Tourist Map. It’s especially attractive to those who look
for peace and relaxation in its unspoilt rolling hills and rocky
coastline.
Last but not least West Clare is a centre of
traditional Irish Music and Dance. Many pubs throughout
the region have regular live music sessions. Traditional Music
festivals such as the Willie Clancy Summer School - Miltown Malbay
every July and the Eigse Mrs. Crotty - Kilrush every
August - attract music enthusiasts from all over the world.
