10/10 Exceptional! (4 reviews)
My first time to Ireland so the Doolin Lodges were the perfect location- I wish that I would have had more time to spend in this spectacular location. There will be a “next time” and I will definitely stay here again (hope to finally use the hot tub!). Special thanks to Darra for her personal touch- the homemade sweet loaf was delicious.

Room was fine albeit very small and only good for short stays. No place to put your suitcase. check in easy. Paper thin walls though and could hear people banging about coming back drunk at 4:00 am. Not their fault but incredibly loud outside as we were there for Friday and Saturday night. Couldn’t sleep due to noise. Good location for getting to Latin quarter and shopping but with that comes noise. We were there for two nights and no one cleaned the room.
