This house has a lot going for it. The location is on a fairly heavily traveled road but it calmed down at night so that the noise was not bad. It is close to Doolin but walking to town was not great since it is on a fairly steep slope and on a very busy, narrow road. You really do need a car to stay here. The kitchen is one of the best stocked that we have ever seen in a rental. It was very clean throughout. We had everything that we needed. It was clean and well laid-out with lots of space. Everyone that we dealt with was very nice. A negative is that the water is not potable. So you will want to stock up on drinking water before you arrive. Also, a negative is that you do not have control of the heating. They are stated to be on a timer but the heat came on at strange times. The heat would come on at night when we wanted it to cool down to sleep and was not on the morning when we wanted it to shower. Overall, even considering the issues above, we enjoyed our stay and would stay again.
