Newly renovated cottage in the heart of Doolin - O'Connor's Pub a 2 minute walk!

The Cuckoo's Nest is a newly renovated cottage located just a two minute walk to the famous O'Connor's Pub, which has traditional music every night in the main tourist season and every weekend outside of this time.

There are three beautifully appointed bedrooms, each with a king size bed. Two of these bedrooms are en suite with the third having a bathroom to itself, located just outside of the main bedroom area.

There is a lovely garden outside with a cozy seating area to enjoy the beautiful outdoors in this amazing part of Ireland.

Best accommodations in Ireland
This 3-bedroom house is immaculate! It is the best place we stayed at during our two months in Ireland. There is everything you need for a long or short term stay. Its quiet location is within a few minutes walking distance to shopping, pubs, restaurants and a very doable hike to the Cliffs of Moher, along with many other hikes. We had a slight issue at the house, and Patrick resolved it immediately. He is a great Host. I highly recommend this very relaxing and perfectly located property.

Great place to stay in Doolin
This house is in a great location for a stay in Doolin - just a few minutes walk from Gus O’Connor’s pub and some shops, and a few miles away from 3 other good pubs, all with Irish music at night. The house has everything that you might need and Patrick stopped in a couple of times to see if everything was good. I recommend this as a good place to stay in Doolin.

Awesome location, cozy home with 3 full batgs in each room. Perfect for a submersive irish country side experience. We were 4 people 2 adukt children and us parents.

My girls lloved tge hirse Lilly and we all enjoyed the pubs and shops all eithin a couple m8nutes from tge house. Doolin is a myst ser! We will be back again!@

Safe, easy feeling in the nest
Clean, comfortable house in a very quiet area located very close to Gus, O’Connors pub, and the quaint village of Doolin. Very easy access to the cliffs of Mohr and a nice jump off spot for other destinations on the west coast. The house was fully furnished with everything at six people needed and host. Patrick always make sure to take care of any concerns that we had instantly. If you were looking for a very bustling rowdy night life, this is not the place for you. However, if you want the classic traditional Irish pub and music experience you will not be disappointed with the cuckoos nest.

Lovely property, ideal location
The house was spotless and beautifully furnished, very, very charming yet contemporary at the same time. The views were nice and the location could not have been better for walking to the main street or driving a very short distance to the pier. Patrick, our host was very responsive and easy to reach. The home had everything we needed and I can’t stress enough how lovely and clean it was. Loved everything about it!

Very comfortable home from home
The property was maintained to a very high standard. It was more like a home from home, rather than a holiday rental. Patrick came to meet us and introduced us to Lilly the horse in the back garden. We made ourselves very comfortable and thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Cockoos Nest.

Beautiful home near the Cliffs of Moher
We loved our stay and would definitely come back to Doolin. Patrick was a great host and answered our questions quickly. The house is close to restaurants and local activities. We recommend Ivy Cottage - had breakfast and dinner. We also ate at Gus O’Connors and McGanns. Both were really good.

You will love your stay at the Cockoo's Nest. Ultra clean, ultra modern. I could easily live there! Great showers and very quiet. A short walk to lower Doolin and Gus O'Conner's. Pier is a bit of a walk but still close by. If I stay in Doolin again, it will be at the Coolio's Nest!

Great location and everything you need
This cottage was clean, modern and yet charming. Fabulous location where you can walk to any local pub, or the pier or the Cliffs of Moher. Patrick brought his mare Lily to “mow” the grass and we enjoyed her very much. The wifi works but there’s not a lot of data but you’re not there to surf the net so it wasn’t a big deal for us. We had 4 adults and everyone was comfortable. Would stay here again for sure. Thx Patrick :)
