Doolin Inn

Doolin Inn

10/10 Excellent
"Our stay at the Doolin Inn was a delight! We had a lovely modern suite which shared a commons area with the suite next door. Comfy bed, cozy sitting room and pleasant bathroom, it was all perfect. The Irish breakfast in the morning was the best we had on our trip, all done to perfection. Best of all, though, was it was a hundred yards down the street from O'Connor's Pub, which has traditional Irish music everynight. The food, drinks, wait staff and customers were all wonderful. A couple of nice shops along the way, too. We'd go back there in a minute!"
