It is a wonderful place to stay. It is all clean and fine. We had a nice view from our room onto the cliffs. Marcella is very friendly and open minded. It takes some minutes walk to get to the road and the first pub, then some more minutes to get to the next ones. But that wasn't an issue for us. What you gain is a quiet place but connected to the vivid night life of doolin. Would recommend it by any means.
