We drove across the country from Dublin to Doolin as the 2nd stop on our honeymoon (stopping at several castles along the way!) After a quick visit for a seafood dinner in Galway, we made our way down the windy coast (in the dark as American drivers, no less!!) to the sweetest little cottage by the sea. We checked in late (which was very smooth with no problems at all) and had a lovely night's sleep before exploring the area. The cottage's layout was perfect and had all the amenities we could want. We put a few Guinness in the fridge and were even able to do a load of laundry when we arrived to hang out to dry the following day. The cottage came with a tea kettle and a little breakfast drink station, so we made ourselves a morning cup and walked down to Doolin in the misty morning, cups in hand. We were so close to all the places we wanted to see, the Doolin cave, several castles, the main stripe of Doolin, and of course, the Cliffs of Moher. We had an incredible day exploring and finished it with a night of trad music at the magical local pub, Gus O'Connors. The next day we had more exploring (I highly recommend scrambling the rocky cliffs near the Doolin pier) and a dreamy lunch at the Ivy Cottage. None of that would have been possible without the ease and comfortability of having this airbnb as a home base. We felt like part of the community with the freedom to explore and discover at our own pace. It was clean and comfy and even had room darkening blinds - which comes in handy when you are still adjusting to a new time zone. Everything was perfect and our only regret was not booking for more nights! Don't hesitate on this one!!!
