The penthouse room is an absolute delight. There were a few flights of stairs but we expected that and they were worth it for the expansive view of the sunset, ocean and Irish countryside (near Cliffs of Moher). There are some trade offs for being in the top unit. There weren't many windows but the walkout balcony made for an amazing place to take in the views. Doolin offers a lively spot to have great food and absorb some local culture. We would definitely stay again.
