Doolin View Bed & Breakfast is a wonderful place to stay whether you are looking for a quiet weekend away or touring the Irish countryside. With easy access to the Cliffs of Moher, The Burren, Fanore Beach, and many other sites, Doolin View is perfectly situated for your adventures in County Clare. Sandy and Jason immediately make you feel at home when you arrive and get the tour of the common areas and amenities. Guests have easy access to flashlights and umbrellas to ensure a safe, comfortable, and easy walk from town after hitting up the local pubs. There is also a nice common area to relax and have a drink from the honor bar while taking in the great, peaceful views. The rooms are well-appointed and are a decent size compared to other properties I’ve stayed at in Ireland. Though they may feel small for Americans, especially if you have a lot of luggage for a long trip away. The beds are comfortable, and the attached bathroom is nice. Each night, you place a card in your assigned cubby with your breakfast order and desired time for the following morning. There is an assortment of options, including Welsh rarebit and a full Irish. All homemade and delicious. When you come into the common room in the morning, you are warmly greeted and asked for your tea/coffee preference. From there, you can pour yourself some juice/water and assemble a plate of fruit/pastries/cereal. There are loads of options and none are a bad choice! Being locals, Sandy and Jason have as good a sense as you can of the varied coastal weather. During our stay, it was drizzly and foggy, but Sandy was able to suggest a good time for a Cliffs of Moher visit. It wasn’t perfectly clear, but her suggestion was by far the best view we could have had that day. You can’t go wrong by staying at Doolin View and would be doing yourself a disservice if you stayed in the area without considering it. Next time my wife and I visit Ireland, we will be staying at Doolin View and we are greatly looking forward to it!
