    Very cozy pod with an amazing view

    The only downside could be that in the evening it gets very warm inside (we visited in August), but it gets reasonable if you leave the window at the end of the pod open so it's not a big deal.

    Location is amazing, you see the sea and the Cliffs right out of the door of the pod. Very welcoming hosts (including the dog!), relaxing walk in the fields in order to reach Doolin, the pod is small but well equipped for a short stay.

    Such a lovely stay – Saoirse and Steve were incredibly warm and welcoming hosts. The accommodation was cozy, spotless, and full of charm. We truly enjoyed every moment of our two days there. We even experienced moments we never dreamed of – like coming back tired from a walk along the Cliffs of Moher and hearing Steve call out across the garden to the kids: “You’ve got hot chocolate!” – and when I said, “Wow,” he replied, “That’s not for you… you’ve got wine.” Truly unforgettable. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the area!

    I know there's capacity for up to 4 people in the pod, but would say that it's ideal for 2 adults!

    Couldn't speak more highly of our trip to Gaoth na Mara, Saoirse and Steve have developed an excellent retreat spot that we'd be very happy to return to. Communication, check in/out, and the pod were all flawless. Location was walkable to some pubs, restaurants, and shops which was absolutely ideal. Everything was clean and easy to find, and the little touches (loaf of brown bread, tayto and chocolate, bottle of wine) were so unexpected and lovely. We had our privacy and felt very comfortable. Shower was great, bed was cosy and warm, tv had Netflix, YouTube etc. Wonderful care and attention to detail, the little space heater was really nice in the evening for a top up of heat and some ambiance, and the flowerpots and solar lights outside made the place so welcoming. Really enjoyed my morning cup of coffee on the picnic table outside with views of the Cliffs, also the perfect spot to catch the sunset. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay!

    Bit of a walk from the village in an Irish winter!

    The welcome was lovely, the host is very friendly and gave excellent recommendation for food and drink in the village. . They provided bread, milk, butter, fruit, taytos, wine...what more could you need! View of the cliffs was fabulous. Although the pod is in their back garden it's very private. Very cosy and ideal for a couple. Wouldn't hesitate to return.

    Truly magical location with amazing hosts & everything you could need to escape (and more!). The perfect base to discover Cliffs of Moher, the Burren and beyond - with a range of dining/pub options on your doorstep (and likely a few more if booked during the summer months). Highly recommend!

    Such a lovely setting, décor, view. My friends & I adored it and it was perfect for our little catch up getaway. 5min walk from the nearest food/drink establishment. The view of the cliffs is amazing to wake up to. The hosts are amazing with a bottle of wine, snacks, bread, milk etc left for us, such a nice touch.

    Perfect little pod stay in idyllic Doolin

    The only complaint would be that we were there during an unusually warm time, and the pod did get a bit toasty during the day. It really wasn't a problem for long as we opened all of the windows and front door to let it cool down when we got back.

    We loved everything about the pod! Very convenient to shops, pubs, and the Doolin Cliff walk for the Cliffs of Moher. Pod was super clean, and well appointed. A very good use of space. Great views right from the property. The hosts were laid back and super friendly. They really went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. The brown bread they left for a treat was perfect for breakfast along with all of the other extras and little touches.

    Outstanding location, just a stones throw away from Doolin town. The view is amazing looking over the cliffs of Moher and you have a feeling of privacy since there are no other pods. The hosts are amazing and I would highly recommend this to anyone visiting the cliffs of Moher, Doolin, or Aran Islands.
