Out of all of the B&B's that we stayed in during our trip to Ireland this was our least favorite. The bed wasn't comfortable, the pillows felt like they were made of sawdust, and most of all our room wasn't the cleanest. It looked clean enough, but the linens didn't smell or feel very fresh, but the bathroom was the dealbreaker for us. There were other people's hairs in the shower, sink, and on the floor. This is just one of those things that beyond gross us out! The host Darra, seemed to be really frantic and stressed during our entire stay and just didn't exemplify the warm Irish hospitality we found elsewhere. The location is great, right near O'Connors pub, however Doolin is such a small and wonderful town no matter where you stay you are near the pubs and restaurants. I would choose a different B&B, but still visit Doolin! Doolin is a wonderful town that was one of the highlights of our trip!!

Dear Windycityf
Regarding your comment's on your stay with us last October.
It is naturally disappointing to hear that we did not meet your expectations and we would have hoped that you would have mentioned your concerns while you stayed with us.
We have been running a bed in breakfast for over 10 years and this is the first time any one has claimed that our home was unclean.
Our linens are laundered daily and replaced regularly. Likewise our bathrooms are cleaned thoroughly before a guest checks in.
The highly positive comments we receive from the vast majority of our guests bear testament to the quality of our bed and breakfast
Regards,
Darra Hughes
