I can't recommend a stay in Mary's home enough. First, Mary was very flexible on our arrival time since we were driving up from a day of hiking in Killarney. We were immediately greeted by Mary and their adorable spinning pup, Rocky. Our room was bright, clean and comfortable. Their home is just a short drive from Doolin where we enjoyed a great pub meal and live music. The next morning we were treated by Mary to a full Irish breakfast which was incredible, then we set out to meet her husband Pat for the 9km hike along the Cliffs of Moher. If you don't hike with Pat you haven't seen the cliffs. I firmly believe that the most wonderful vacations are made by the people you meet along the way and this hike, with my kids and a small group of other visitors, was a highlight of our trip to Ireland. Pat openly shares his love for the area along with his local insights and history, something you'd never get on a bus tour. This is truly a one-of-a-kind experience you don't want to miss.
