Loraine & her husband are warm and exceptionally kind people. Our room was neat and clean with thoughtful touches like safety vests to wear when walking down to nearby McDermott’s Pub at night. We chose a full breakfast with Irish bacon, sausage, blood pudding, and egg, & brown bread-all excellent! The seas may have been too rough for us to take a boat to the Aran Islands or to see the Cliffs of Moher, but we have no complaints, because there were a lot of other things to do. We explored the Burren, went to see the neolithic Paulnabrone (older than the Pyramids) and shopped at the Irish Crafts for a great selection at very reasonable prices (if you do not live in the EU then shipping costs are offset by no VAT tax).
At night nearby is the McDermott’s Pub and together with staying at Nellie Dee’s this pub made Doolin one of the highlights of our trip because of their helpful staff, delicious food (smoked salmon, lamb shank), and incredible traditional Irish music. So much fun!
