We had the most fantastic stay at this wonderful house. It was everything and more than we hoped for and we were particularly pleased that the photos on the website were accurate and did not disappoint. In fact the house was even better when we actually arrived and looked around. It is very luxurious, as well as homely. I love cooking and was amazed how well equipped the kitchen was, I found everything I needed to cook as well as bake! The house was beautifully presented, spotless and well equipped. It was ideal for us as a family as we have young children and they were never bored. We also had elderly relatives with us and we found the ground floor bedrooms and bathrooms a godsend. The views from the house are absolutely amazing and we found ourselves spending hours sitting in the lounge admiring them from the large windows. Doolin is a beautiful part of Ireland offering stunning scenery. There are lovely pubs and restaurants and plenty to see and do. Something for all ages we felt. Highly recommended. We are already planning our next visit!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, age 55+, people with disabilities, sightseeing, romantic getaway, families with young children.

This house is remarkable in every regard. Beautifully situated secluded with gorgeous views, yet not far from Doolin where we had great food at the Road House and revelled in live music. The house is large and open plan, beautifully kept and warm. I would recommend this property without hesitation.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, age 55+, sightseeing, girls getaway, romantic getaway, families with young children.

We have just returned from the most fabulous week at Tigh Padraig. The house has every possible amenity you could wish for and really is a home from home. In fact, i think the kitchen is better equipped than mine at home! The location is fantastic, perched up on the hill the views are fantastic, but still in reach of all the local amenities such as restaurants and local convenience store. The views are panoramic, folding laundry in the utility shall never be the same again without these views! The area itself is lovely, just the right amount to do. The Doolin Caves are a must, as are the Cliffs of Moher, and we also took a trip to the lovely Isles of Aran. Not to forget the local bars that are lively with fantastic music at night. Thank you to Orla and her family for creating such a lovely home that we felt so comfortable in. We shall definitely return, and for the benefit of others looking at this review, DON"T JUST LOOK....BOOK IT, or you may miss the most wonderful experience.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, age 55+, people with disabilities, sightseeing, girls getaway, romantic getaway, families with young children.

My husband and I traveled with our Mothers and two close friends to Ireland the first week of April. As soon as we arrived at the property, we knew we were in for something special. The views from the house were amazing. Upon entering, it got even better - if that is possible! What a warm, friendly but big house with everything you could possibly need for the week from extensive kitchen utensils/appliances to sheets and towels, washer and dryer, loads of books, tapes, and games and more - really, the only thing you needed to bring were clothes. 5 minute car ride to some great little shops, restaurants, and music....Cliffs of Moher, the burren, coast road, just a few minutes away. We really had the most relaxing and much needed rest while we were there. It's been about two months, and we are still talking about it. Thank you Orla for sharing your wonderful home with us. We hope to return soon.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Tigh Padraig is a modern, extremely well-appointed home in Doolin, the village known as the heart of traditional Irish music. We are long-time (13 years) users of VRBO and have booked homes around the world using this site. We find beautiful homes that may be a bit off the beaten path, which provide luxury and good value. Tigh Padraig is at the top of our list. It is about three km's from the heart of Doolin village, in a quiet hill-top neighborhood (just a few other houses on the dead-end road). Our two teen-aged daughters loved having their own beautiful rooms and baths. The great room was the center of our activity. A separate, formal living room provides a place for quiet time. We saw most of southwest of Ireland using Tigh Padraig as our base -- Galway to the north (45 mins), the Ring of Kerrey to the south (75 mins or so). Bunratty Castle is a half hour or so. The Cliffs of Mohrer are a ten minute drive. The lovely, haunting Burren is a few km's from the house. The roads around Doolin (indeed, most of the country) are not for the faint of heart. They are narrow and driving on the left takes some adjustment, but it is an adventure. The owner, Orla, and her caretakers (Niall and Deirdre) are kind, professional and accommodating. This property is a gem -- take a look!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, age 55+, adventure seekers, sightseeing, families with young children.

Took my family to Ireland and found a home away from home! This place is amazing, and worked so well for my elderly parents ( large walk in shower in downstairs bedroom) and our young children. The house has everything you want, the owners clearly spend time here. My kids were so happy to discover toys, board games and a DVD library! The house is very accessible to the Cliffs of Moher, the Burren and Aran Islands and the views from the house itself are stunning! Orla was extremely helpful with our booking and gave us great tips on restaurants in the area. We were also very impressed with the managers of the property who were very friendly. Book this home, you will not regret it!! We will be back!!!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, age 55+, adventure seekers, sightseeing, girls getaway, romantic getaway, families with young children.

We spent a week of utter and complete relaxation at this home last September 2011. The home furnishings and attention to detail were second to none and we felt immediately at home upon entering the most luxurious rental property. We were within driving distance of the Cliffs of Moher and some very nice restaurants, our favourite being Roadford House in the village. I cannot highly recommend staying here enough, and we are already booked in for our second stay this summer! In fact, the owner emailed to let us know that she is having 3 of the bathrooms renovated this month- we were surprised to read this as we could not fault anything in this beautiful home!!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, age 55+, adventure seekers, sightseeing, girls getaway, romantic getaway, families with young children.

Our family spent 2 weeks at this fantastic residence in August this year. I have not stopped talking about this home since we got back to anyone who will listen to me!! It was amazing! The home comes fully-equipped with everything you might need-in fact I picked up a few ideas that were missing from my own kitchen! You can tell that the owners spend time here as they have thought of everything. It was immaculately clean and very spacious. Full bookcase, games and toys for kids, a pool table and cable TV will keep you occupied should you have a rainy day! We did have some good weather so if you are lucky too, enjoy a BBQ on the deck with a chilled glass of chardonnay - the sunsets over the Aran Islands were spectacular. The nearby town of Ennisdymon has a great grocery store but we also had some fantastic meals out at Roadford House in Doolin, Cullinans in Doolin and The Wild Honey Inn, Lisdoonvarna. We will definitely book this home on our next trip back to Ireland and cannot recommend this property any more highly - it is a luxury home-away-from home.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, age 55+, adventure seekers, sightseeing, girls getaway, romantic getaway, families with young children.
Owner response: Dear Kate, thank you so much for your feedback - we are delighted you enjoyed your stay at Tigh Padraig and were lucky with the weather. We hope to welcome you and your family back again some day.

My visit to this charming 5 star home really was memorable. I found that every part of this property was marvelously decorated, tastefully furnished, immaculate, spacious but with a warm homely feel. The facilities were second to none. The large living area, dining area/kitchen were extremely well equipped and the bedrooms were beautiful and very comfortable, all en-suite - 3 doubles and 1 twin. There was an amazing entrance hall and fabulous large siting room. The panoramic views were simply superb - an absolute highlight for me - I remember watching sunrise over the Aran Islands from the Living Room one morning - simply nothing like it! The owners have obviously put a lot of time and effort into it! The scenery on the coastline nearby was just gorgeous, the Cliffs of Moher have to be seen - stunning! Beautiful beaches too, oh the fresh air! All the trips we made were within an easy drive and we were able to source and organise these ourselves as we had internet access at this holiday home. The night life locally was brill - great pubs with traditional music - a real refreshing getaway from a busy office! I found it hard to leave this beautiful home at the end of our holiday, I have very fond memories and will definitely return one day!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, age 55+, adventure seekers, tourists without a car, people with disabilities, sightseeing, pet owners, girls getaway, romantic getaway, families with young children.

My daughter and I stayed with some girlfriends at Tigh Padraig some time ago. The house is beautifully situated with views as far as the eye can see and easy access to the surrounding countryside. The house itself is beautifully decorated with a fabulous kitchen/dining area and really comfortably bedrooms, as large as the house is, it still has a wonderful home-like feel to it. We booked directly which was hassle free and the couple who run it for the owners couldn't do enough for us.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, age 55+, adventure seekers, people with disabilities, sightseeing, girls getaway, romantic getaway, families with young children.
