    Fantastic stay,modern property with great views and only a short walk to local pubs and restaurants.

    • Three-Bedroom House
    • Stayed 3 nights

    The property didn't have a washing machine, given the location and the chance of a lot of rain, the opportunity to wash and dry our clothes would have helped especially with small children.

    We loved every minute of our stay in Doolin. And the cottage at Fairwinds felt like home.

    The cottage is spacious and has everything you need. Two bathrooms and three bedrooms accommodated our group comfortably and the outside dining area has a breathtaking view of the Irish landscape. We walked to the cafe, pubs, restaurants, Cliffs of Moher and ferry to Inishmore.

    Peaceful and comfortable, newly designed cottage. 3 bedrooms all with double beds so suited our group of 3 adult travellers who all wanted their own room. Lovely outlook onto green fields. Short walk to two pubs where we enjoyed traditional music.

    Hard to find food supplies without a car. We had 6 coffee drinkers so a coffee maker would have been nice. The French press provided worked just fine fine…but a slower process.

    We had 3 couples and the property served us really well! Lots of space, newly remodeled, clean & comfortable. Great location. Bus stop outside the door!

    The cottage was lovely, modern & homely with nice decor. Beds were comfortable. It was perfect for a quick stopover to visit the Cliffs of Moher which were only a 10 minute drive away. Went to the local pub, McDermotts, food was good and it was a great atmosphere with the live music. We wished we could have stayed longer.

    The only amenity we could have used is a washer and dryer because it was in the middle of our trip and we had difficulty finding laundry service that we could do at night. This is not really something we didn't like, since we knew there wasn't a washer and dryer, but it is a perk that would have been great to have.

    The cottage was very clean, comfortable, and pretty. It was located very conveniently to town, but you still felt like you were out in the country. It was very peaceful. The hosts were very communicative and responsive. The towels and linens were all great. We loved the lighted mirrors in the bathrooms. They were great when getting up in the middle of the night, lol. We highly recommend staying at the the Fairwinds Cottage if you are going to Doolin.
