Pairc Lodge 4 stars

Doolin

Situated 5 km from Doolin Cave, Pairc Lodge features accommodation with free WiFi and free private parking.

There is a private bathroom with shower in all units, along with a hairdryer and free toiletries. I had a wonderful two-night stay at Pairc Lodge. It was in a really fantastic location in Doolin - just a couple of mins walk from the popular Gus O'Connor's Pub and the main strip of shops and cafes. The pier (for boats to the Aran Islands/Cliffs of Moher) was an easy 15 minute walk away. Other restaurants in the area were easily walkable too. For visitors to the area - note that most kitchens do close at around 9pm but drinks flow freely 'til at least midnight (if not longer!) There's a pitch and putt nearby and Doolin itself has some breathtaking views. Pairc Lodge was a great base to explore the wider, scenic area via car too. Overall, rooms and facilities were spotless, it was very quiet at night considering the location and Pat was a brilliant host (thanks for everything!) Look forward to staying here again - highly recommended.

Doolin View B&B 3 stars

Doolin

With views over Doolin village and towards the Cliffs of Moher, Doolin View B&B is within a 10-minute walk of traditional Irish pubs and restaurants. Free private parking is available on site to guests. Very friendly, engaging host who has a keen attention to details (had a flashlight for each room to use to walk into town for dinner!), delicious breakfast, and a very high level of integrity - when paying in cash two bills stuck together and when she realized it she called us immediately. I would stay here again!
