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!

Great location, views, lots of space!

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!

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.

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!!

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.

Beautiful home near the Cliffs of Moher

We loved our stay and would definitely come back to Doolin. Patrick was a great host and answered our questions quickly. The house is close to restaurants and local activities. We recommend Ivy Cottage - had breakfast and dinner. We also ate at Gus O’Connors and McGanns. Both were really good.
