Our only complain about staying at Phil and Val’s was that we only booked for two nights. The cottage was so clean, cozy and picturesque — a perfect retreat during our short trip to Ireland. Doolin is a wonderful jumping off point for seeing the Cliffs of Moher, the Aran Islands and the Burren, with lovely shops, pubs and restaurants. (Don’t miss the wonderful breakfast at Doolin Cafe and music and pints at Gus O’Connor’s.) We especially loved lighting the fire after a rainy day exploring. Highly recommend this adorable stay!
