We loved Doolin and the Abhaile Cottage. It was a great location, and the cottage was both updated and charming. Very clean, with great amenities (the coal stove makes it cozy). We were able to walk to town to see the neighbor sing at O'Connor's pub (great food), and the Cliffs and Burren were a very short drive. Other great towns such as Lisdoonvarna were also close by. If you want to walk the Cliifs we suggest driving past the visitor center, and turning right at the parking sign. Much more remote and quiet area for walking. (2 euros to park at the farm at the end). Don't miss the hike to the right at the intersection next to the cottage. Interesting rock formations and a great view, past the old barracks. We would stay here again when in the area, hopefully with family next time. Thanks!
