Overall, this was a terrific experience! We have rented in Ireland on two other occasions and had good luck both times. Some minor quibbles: a few lights that didn’t work; owner Patrick now aware. For long-term renters (we stayed for a month), the kitchen could use some utensil upgrades but nothing major. We cooked in for half of our meals. Doolin has no grocery store. Food shopping was in Ennistymon, 15 minutes away. The living room was very cozy on those blustery October days when we stayed inside and read for hours on end. Would love to see some window treatments for the dining area and the front door. Patrick was very responsive to all inquiries and made check-in/out very easy. Doolin itself is a gem, 1 hour from Shannon. County Clare has a wealth of things to see/do and is the traditional music capital of the country. The Cliffs of Moher were minutes away and the equally impressive Kilkee cliffs were less than an hour. The Doolin Ferry runs multiple times/day to the Aran Islands. Dining? The pubs served high-quality pub grub with great service everywhere. A surprise: there are two Michelin-rated restaurants! We ate at the Homestead Cottage (one Michelin star each of the last three years) and enjoyed it immensely. In short, this was my 6th trip to Ireland, my wife’s 4th. Each one gets better and better. We thoroughly enjoyed Doolin and the Cuckoo’s Nest! Sláinte!
