Sheila is an excellent host and highly recommends Dolphin Watch. Complete relaxation is offered at this seaside location while gazing at the Aran Islands and Galway bay. The background here extends across the lovely green, fertile hills above Fanore. You can enjoy the glorious sunrises and magnificent sunsets with your exclusive view of the Atlantic Ocean & Galway Bay right here on the WAW. Sheila, the host loves the Atlantic Ocean and the Burren Landscape and takes great pride in keeping the landscaped gardens blooming for all guests to relax and enjoy. The many beautiful Hydrangea varieties and Wild Roses are the signature flowers of the gardens. Often you can see early morning wild hares playing on the green mowed lawns and Bottlenose Dolphins playing in the bay can be a common sight at this resort. Sheila looks forward to welcoming you to Dolphin Watch holiday homes and wishes you an enjoyable stay. This location is an artist's and writer’s paradise, a stone's throw from the shoreline.
