This home was absolutely beautiful, STAY HERE you will not be disappointed. First of all Orla and her family are amazing hosts, the private room set up is perfect, and the area and view are spectacular.
My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights in December, and I wish we could have stayed longer. The home is about a 30 min walk from the Doolin bus stop, or a 10 minute drive. I highly suggest actually doing the walk. It's a mild uphill walk in some areas, but you won't even notice because of the beautiful scenery you pass and the Doonagore Castle which is great for a photogenic pit stop. It's definitely not in the city center but the short distance is worth it for the view.
Everything about the room is in caring detail. Orla provides delicious baked goodies and coffee and tea, and refills them every night with something new. The bed is extremely comfortable, shower was great with awesome pressure and hot water for days. The large bay window opens up to the view of the ocean. You can sit and enjoy your breakfast while watching the waves crash over the Doolin cliffs.
And last but certainly not least Orla as our host was amazing. She was so sweet and went out of her way to help us have a great time. She even drove us to the Cliffs of Moher and to the Doolin bus stop because of the incoming weather. This was by far the best Airbnb I have ever stayed in.
Tips for the Area: Walk to and from town, you can even take a trail all the way to the Cliffs of Moher. If you are there in the winter, especially around Christmas time expect nearly everything to be closed. The ferry to the Aran Islands was not in operation while we were there and there was only one pub open in town. You can rent a bike in town but email/call the shop first, otherwise they will stay closed. (Not bad things in my opinion, we basically had the whole place to ourselves. But just something to note). The pub does do takeaway which is great to just bring back to the house and eat in your own time. And be aware the sun will rise around 845 am and set around 430 pm in the winter, so the daylight to see the area is limited.
