We loved staying here- the rooms were clean and comfortable and large. We had access to a bar area where we had our breakfast and gathered in between our activities. Daniel. the host, was very friendly and helpful with tips about the area. He was very responsive to our questions and gave us a personal tour of their very cool castle (which we could see from all the bedrooms.) The main bedroom had an ocean view. We had a clear day for our visit to the Cliffs of Moher and enjoyed 2 pubs in Doolin- Gus O’Connor’s and McGan’s. Highly recommend.
