Moy House, Country house in County Clare, Ireland
Moy House is a country house set on a slope with two levels, with a single-story front elevation that masks the lower floor containing a dining room and library overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. The building combines classical architecture with updated interiors and functions as both a restaurant and guest accommodation.
Moy House was built in the mid-18th century as a holiday home for Sir Augustine Fitzgerald, set in 15 acres of woodland on the River Moy. It was later sold to Major Studdert, whose name was given to the bridges over the road and the river on the West Clare Railway. After standing vacant for 10 years, it was bought by Odran O'Looney, who carried out a three-year restoration.
Moy House appeared as the Ahern family home in the Irish TV drama "Smother", which premiered in March 2021. The house was also voted Country House of the Year by Georgina Campbell's Ireland in 2003, an award that brought it wider attention among Irish hospitality guides.
The property sits about 3 kilometers south of Lahinch along the N67 road, with convenient access to nearby beaches and coastal attractions. Visitors can easily reach Lahinch Beach or explore other points of interest along the shore during their stay.
