With unbelievable views of the ocean and surrounding countryside, TJ and Cora’s cottage is a great place to stay if you’re visiting Doolin. TJ was easy to communicate with and checked in on us frequently to make sure everything was going well. On vacation with my wife and father, we found the cottage comfortable for three people.
While the cottage is indeed close to town, it is not really walkable. The roads are narrow and can be quite dangerous when you encounter cars. In general I would suggest renting a car if you plan on staying in Doolin. Bus service is infrequent and there are few taxis available in the area.
Aside from our transportation woes we had an excellent time and found Doolin to be a small but lively town full of beautiful sights and warm, friendly people.
