Doolin Doolin came into the possession of the Macnamara family in the mid 18th century through the marriage of William Macnamara and Catherine Sarsfield. In 1894 Slater refers to it as the residence of Henry Valentine Macnamara. It remained a Macnamara home until the 20th century when it was burnt down in the early 1920s and no trace remains now.

Macnamara of Doolin, is well documented in the Stacpoole Kenny Papers. A house is still extant at this site.

By the time of Griffith's Valuation it had passed into Macnamara possession. The O'Brien, Finucane and Macnamara families had all intermarried. The house was valued at £28 in the mid 19th century and held by Captain Francis Macnamara in fee. It remained in Macnamara ownership until the mid 20th century and has been a hotel for many years. The hotel was the property of Mr Brendan O'Regan in the 1940s. Photo of Ennistimon House
