Could not have been better!

The Cuckoo’s Nest was a wonderful cottage with cozy, comfortable bedrooms and baths. The 5 of us fit well with a good mix of privacy and commradery. Quiet, very tidy and welcoming home! Great common areas and well appointed kitchen. The location was perfect for walks to town, to the Doolin ferry terminal, to drives to the Cliffs of Moher (sadly the walking path was under repair during our visit) and we enjoyed the pitch and putt. We also enjoyed O’Connors pub, the Ivy Cottage and Anthony’s restaurants, also in walking distance. Pat was a very accommodating and gracious host. We hope to be back some day!

Wonderful house! Fantastic location! Patrick's place was perfect! The house was immaculate. Very clean and well appointed with everything we needed. The fireplace room was so cozy. The beds comfy. We walked to Gus O'Connors a couple of times. We really enjoyed the music. What fun! We are a lunch and a dinner at the Ivy Cottage. We would HIGHLY recommend this place. The special for dinner was halibut and it ranked as one of our best meals EVER!! So good! Anyway, back to the house, it is also within walking distance to the start of the cliffs of moher coastal walk. Beautiful! Also walking distance to some cute shops!! Great location. We would stay here again!!! This place would be perfect for two or three couples or a family with kids. Three private bedrooms. LOOK NO FURTHER....BOOK THIS PLACE!!

Perfect!

This was the loveliest cottage/home! Doors away from the main area of Doolin. The location couldn’t have been better. The home was spotless; kitchen was well equipped. Bedrooms and bathrooms were all comfortable. Only thing I would have done differently was to pick up groceries before our arrival. We didn’t find anything within walking distance to pick up staples.

Love Doolin

What a wonderful cottage in a very convenient location in Doolin. Cottage was beautiful, clean and cozy. It is truly 2 minutes from O’Conners where we had two delicious meals and listened to some wonderful Irish music. Loved our stay!

We loved our stay in this historic renovated cottage. Plenty of space for our family with 2 teens. Easy walk to the pub, shops, and bike rental. Close to the ferry for a day trip to the Aran Islands. We loved our stay here and would stay again!

Best accommodations in Ireland

This 3-bedroom house is immaculate! It is the best place we stayed at during our two months in Ireland. There is everything you need for a long or short term stay. Its quiet location is within a few minutes walking distance to shopping, pubs, restaurants and a very doable hike to the Cliffs of Moher, along with many other hikes. We had a slight issue at the house, and Patrick resolved it immediately. He is a great Host. I highly recommend this very relaxing and perfectly located property.

Great place to stay in Doolin

This house is in a great location for a stay in Doolin - just a few minutes walk from Gus O’Connor’s pub and some shops, and a few miles away from 3 other good pubs, all with Irish music at night. The house has everything that you might need and Patrick stopped in a couple of times to see if everything was good. I recommend this as a good place to stay in Doolin.

Cuckoos nest getaway

Awesome location, cozy home with 3 full batgs in each room. Perfect for a submersive irish country side experience. We were 4 people 2 adukt children and us parents. This was by far more impressive in person than we imagined. Patrick O'Brien helped us get acclimated and brought his horse over to visit in the back yard. My girls lloved tge hirse Lilly and we all enjoyed the pubs and shops all eithin a couple m8nutes from tge house. Doolin is a myst ser! We will be back again!@
