Prominently situated overlooking the quaint centre of this famous village and the Atlantic Ocean beyond, you can't miss the Doolin Inn - and once you arrive you can park the car and relax, as everything is within walking distance.
Currently owned by experienced hospitality professionals Anthony and Deirdre Moloney, it was established by Anthony's parents as a hostel (and Doolin's first B&B) in1983. Since taking over in 2012 Anthony and Deirdre have gradually improved the property. The rooms vary from compact 'cosy' doubles, to superior doubles big enough for a queen bed (5ft) to triples and several suitable for families of four, but all have pleasing sea or country views and are well equipped with smart TV, Netflix, a digital tablet, in-room safe, tea/coffee making and ironing facilities.
No on-site dining is offered at the moment, but the Moloneys give details of a number of recommended restaurants nearby. And they serve a really good cooked to order breakfast - with the Big Burren Breakfast providing a great foundation for a busy day's activities (hiking, biking, surfing, sea kayaking, rock climbing, bouldering, horse riding visiting the Aran Islands or exploring the Burren) and plenty of other tasty alternatives such as Eggs Benedict (with terrific bacon slices) and pancakes too.
They certainly have a lot of boxes ticked at the Doolin Inn.
