Maureen is one of the nicest ladies you could ever hope to meet!!
We had a wonderful stay at Doolin Breeze Cottage. The house is spacious and cosy with lovely views. The house is perfectly situated for visiting all the beautiful scenic areas but also allows you to sit back and relax in the beautiful Clare countryside. Maureen is fantastic, she was warm and friendly and she had everything in order for our stay. I would definitely return to stay again. I can't thank Maureen enough for her hospitality. I highly recommend Doolin Breeze Cottage

Zu empfehlen!
Sehr großes Haus mit tatsächlich 4 Toiletten. Nicht neu, aber alles in Ordnung. Ohne Auto ist die Lage etwas zu außerhalb, mit Auto super, die Umgebung ist herrlich und bietet viele Ausflugsmöglichkeiten. Sehr freundliche und hilfsbereite Gastgeber!

A Lovely Clare House.
Doolin Breeze Cottage is a great place from which to explore the Burren. It is 6 mins from Doolin; 16 mins from Lahinch and 20 mins from the wonderful beach at Fanore.
There are great places to eat in Doolin and Ballinalacken House Hotel does wonderful food and is only 5 mins away.
The owner, Maureen, could not have been more helpful. She goes out of her way to make sure your stay is enjoyable. Strongly recommended.

Beautiful Clare.
We have just returned from a great week in Maureen's lovely bungalow Doolin Breeze. It is ideally situated between Lisdoonvarna and Doolin. The bungalow was perfect for us...bright,spacious, comfortable and equipped with everything we needed. The bedrooms are all a good size with the extra bonus of each having its own en suite. Maureen is the perfect host...helpful, chatty and friendly and we enjoyed her lovely brack which she brought when she called to us. Don't hesitate to book Doolin Breeze, you won't be disappointed.
Best wishes J P n G

Excellent accomadation and lovely friendly host
Excellent large cottage near Lisdoonvarna and Doolin.3 large bedrooms all en suite and also a family bathroom ,large kitchen, separate dining room and good sized front room/lounge in a lovely location. Met Maureen on arrival and she even had a cake and teak and milk ready for us after our drive down from Dublin. House is ideally located for exploring any part of Clare and the Burren and only an hour from Galway city and ideal for the ferry from Doolin to the Aran Islands. All mod cons in the house which was well laid out and really clean. Would have no hesitation in recommending Doolin Breeze or staying here again if ever in the area. Also loads of leaflets available for all things to do in the general area

Many thanks B for taking the time to write a review on Doolin Breeze. It is great that you found the cottage so comfortable and and that you enjoyed the cuppa on arrival. As you pointed its location is ideal , in the centre of all the attractions of North Clare . We would love to have you back anytime you feel like a break from our Capital City of Dublin.

Charmante maison au calme
Charmante maison typiquement irlandaise. L'intérieur est très spacieux, les pièces sont très grandes, chaque chambre est équipée de sa propre salle de bain en plus de la salle de bain commune. La maison est un havre de paix, même les vaches dans le pré d'en face sont d'un flegme olympique, la vue est très apaisante.
Maureen et James sont vraiment adorables, pleins d'attentions et toujours disponibles. Ils nous accueillis avec un copieux gouter, le fameux "tee time ". Toutes les informations touristiques, activités et cartes de sentiers de randonnées sont à disposition dans la maison.
Point de départ idéal pour visiter la région.
Merci Maureen et James, nous avons passé un magnifique séjour et sommes ravis d'avoir fait votre connaissance.
Charming house, calm and peaceful place, lovely couple, don't miss it !

Perfect place to stay and ideally located for travelling around the area!
We stayed in Breeze Cottage for a week at the end of July 2019 - three people, each had it's own spacious bedroom with en suite. Kitchen with all the appliances (in perfectly working condition!) and separate dinning room were excellent for breakfast and evening tea while very cosy and tastefully decorated sitting room with TV, comfortable sofa & chairs and tonnes of brochures about the places of interest in the area helped us to shape our daily trips.
Warm welcome from Maureen with home baked cake and tasty sandwiches was particular touching because she came to meet us upon our arrival when heavy, really heavy rain started!
Location wise - if you are travelling by car you can get to all the tourist attractions and all places of interest including stunning views of Geo-sites within 30 min drive which is great! Also very short drive to local pubs and restaurants in Lisdoonvarna and Doolin.
We would highly recommend this cottage.
Many thanks to Maureen and James!
