Staying at the Stonecutter's Cottage was a great end to our Ireland trip. The cottage gives you a sense of the past and was exactly what we were hoping for in our stay. I love the sea and although the cottage is not right by the water, we enjoyed the views of the water each time through the front gate, going down the hill into Doolin and even sitting at the kitchen table looking out the front window. The cottage itself is comfortable, clean and well- equipped with a roomy, cheerful kitchen. The cottage sits atop a hill with just a few other cottages/ houses nearby and a totally unobstructed, lovely view in the front.
Phil and Valerie were easy to communicate with and sent a very thorough, much appreciated packet of information about the cottage and area before we arrived. Phil met us at check-in and made sure we knew how everything worked.
We stayed two nights and definitely wished we had longer to enjoy all that the Doolin area has to offer. We went on the Cliffs of Moher walk with Pat Sweeney which was a great alternative to just going to the visitor center, drove the coast road and back through the Burren as Phil had recommended and spent evenings at the pubs listening to traditional Irish music.
We would definitely like to return to Doolin and stay at the Stonecutter's Cottage.
