The kitchen is off the dining/living room and has a galley kitchen with loads of cupboard space, a gas hob with electric oven, George Forman grill, kettle, toaster, dishwasher, washing machine, dryer and all the kitchen utensils required. The kitchen leads out to an enclosed service yard.

All four bedrooms have their own private bathroom and seating area. One bedroom is on the ground floor and can be made up as either a super king double bed or two single beds. There are three bedrooms on the first floor. Two rooms have a double bed and the third room has two single beds. There is a large Velux window on the landing upstairs with a table and chairs under the window that provides an extra light filled that is ideal for a workspace.

Responsive, generous and flexible
The property was well maintained and overall really wonderful place to stay. It is close to everything and if you are hiking the cliff trail out from Doolin it is a 20 min walk to the start of the hike and you pass little cafes. You can stay here and really enjoy walking everywhere you need to go. Plus there are local beaches and bays that are just a close drive away. We enjoyed hiking all day and then cleaning up and going to the different bars to listen to live music. Our situation was rare for the owner. It was winter when we went and a big storm just hit Ireland. The oil for heating got mixed with water so when we arrived the heat was not working. The owner was so accommodating and sent people to figure out to see if they can fix it. I felt that they were extremely generous and flexible to work with and make sure we were comfortable. They have a space heater that worked out really well in the living room when we wanted to hang out in a communal space and we moved it to the bedroom when we were ready to sleep. The weather was not so cold so we learned that with the space heater we really were able to warm up the room and then turn it off after an hour or so. The neighbor came by to make sure we knew where that was and to try and turn the regular heat on. I share this because I think it is really good to know that the owners are responsive, generous and flexible. They are all around great people with a wonderful network of people in the area. I would definitely go back.

Nice location plenty of space
Property was very clean, spacious, with room for a group or family to separate into different areas, as well as a nice kitchen and large dining space. Easy walk to the center of Doolin, with a pub and cafe located close by. Very quiet location, with plenty of parking.

What makes this property unique

The Half Door Cottage is just a stone's throw from two of the best traditional music pubs in Ireland yet set back off the main road with tranquil pasture views. It's just a short walk to a spectacular secluded beach or hike to the Cliffs of Moher right from the front door.
