Orla’s place is sublime and she herself is amazing...she thinks of everything. I mean EVERYTHING.
Orla: First of, Orla let us check in early. When we arrived (3 hours before check-in time), she said she would need a couple of hours to get the room ready. But I the meantime, she sent us on our way to the Cliffs of Moher with directions. Well, by the time we get back, our bags (4 heavy ones) were all already in our room.
The Room: when we arrived in the room, we were amazed. I knew the room had a view of the ocean but the room is not just a room. You have your own luxury private bathroom. The bedding was was clean, plush and yes with 100% Egyptian cotton (my sister fought me to keep it just for that part). And I’m so glad she did. Also the place has these plush rugs and chairs with plush cushions.
The Amenities: we checked the room and found fruits, teas, a tea pot, baked goods, oatmeal, milk, orange juice...you name it. It is all we needed. In the bathroom we had spare toothbrush, soaps, shampoos. We even had a shower cap (very important for natural black girls as moisture is everything).
After staying at Orlas’s, every other place in Ireland had a standard to work up to.
Our only “hiccup”, was that our room got a cold during the night. But when we looked around we found a heater (I SAID THE LADY THINKS OF EVERYTHING).
If I had to do it over, I would have stayed two to three nights at Orla’s place. I know that when I come back to Ireland, it will be predominantly for Doolin and we will stay at Orla’s place. I cannot recommend this place enough.
