We only stayed at Mandy's for two nights, but it was SUCH a charming place to stay! We wished we could have stayed longer! Mandy was exceedingly kind and gracious. She even offered to give us a lift from Doolin back to the cottage if we needed it, but we were easily able to find a taxi (the pub called one for us, no problem at all...) It meant so much that she was willing to go out of her way to make our stay an excellent one.
The cottage is so tastefully appointed; we loved looking around and seeing all the sweet touches Mandy has put everywhere. It was delightful to wake up and see the gorgeous fields and stone walls and neighboring sheep. Truly picturesque.
My favorite part of our entire Ireland vacation was walking from Mandy's cottage to Hag's Head and the Cliffs of Moher, which we then continued on and walked all the way along the coastal walk to Doolin. The walk of a lifetime...! The Cliffs of Moher are beyond description and absolutely breath-taking! Approaching them from Hag's Head is truly the most gorgeous, and the coastal walk beyond the cliffs to Doolin was also a superb treat, and I'm so glad we continued on. I've never had a lovelier walk in my life.
Mandy's cottage will linger in my memories; I loved it so much I found a tiny ceramic cottage at a farmer's market that looks like her place. I bought it to have as a memory of being there, and now look at it on my window sill fondly.
We would absolutely stay here again in a heartbeat. I can't think of a lovelier place to explore the Cliffs from...!
