The cottage itself is fantastic, the recent remodel is chic yet still very much in keeping with the original charm of the structure.

BUT two truly outstanding things about this place were the hosts and the location. Our luggage was delayed and Phil arranged to have it dropped at his sister's place and then delivered it to the Cottage, which allowed us to spend the day at the Aran Islands as planned. I cannot tell you how grateful we were and how Phil so charmingly made it sound like it was no big deal for him. It was a big deal to us!
AND secondly, not extolled enough in the description is the astounding location. From the end of the garden you can see the sea to your left and to your right, the cottage is up on a hill in this brambly, lush flower strewn, high meadow...so much beauty! We so highly recommend this cottage and the city of Doolin to anyone traveling to Ireland.
