We never met Olive, but Chris was a wonderful host. I wanted my family to have a B&B experience since it was the way I traveled through Ireland in '88 and 2004. It reminded me exactly of those trips. Very traditional experience of old Ireland in my opinion. Chris directed us to the entertainment down the street which was outstanding. Blackie, is a musician who is on a bill board as you enter Shannon airport, and we had they chance to see him in Doolin! He is the best in his craft in all of Ireland. We had rooms 4, just off the dining room and a bit more modern bathroom and 5, faces the road which I am used to as my own bedroom faces the street. We felt safe and comfortable. Breakfast choices made the night before, were enjoyed by all.
