About this house rental

The Half Door is a cosy cottage brimming with character in a fantastic location in the heart of Doolin, County Clare. It is set back off the main road in a tranquil setting, yet only a stones throw from all the action. The Half Door is featured in the Rick Steve's guide books and described as "the coziest place around."

There are four double ensuite rooms, a fully equipped kitchen, a large dining/living room & separate sitting room with stove and smart TV. Ample off road parking and a south facing garden to relax in. The newly refurbished sitting room has large exposed beams in the ceiling, a window seat beside the stove to curl up on and relax, a 50" smart TV and comfortable leather furniture to sink into. The open plan dining/living room is surrounded with windows and has a patio door that open onto the south facing garden, There is rattan furniture, a well stocked book shelf and a DVD player and selection of DVD's. The large dining table can accommodate eight people comfortably. There is also a mini wine bar and service counter beside the dining table.

The kitchen is off the dining/living room and has a galley kitchen with loads of cupboard space, a gas hob with electric oven, George Forman grill, kettle, toaster, dishwasher, washing machine, dryer and all the kitchen utensils required. The kitchen leads out to an enclosed service yard.

All four bedrooms have their own private bathroom and seating area. One bedroom is on the ground floor and can be made up as either a super king double bed or two single beds. There are three bedrooms on the first floor. Two rooms have a double bed and the third room has two single beds. There is a large Velux window on the landing upstairs with a table and chairs under the window that provides an extra light filled that is ideal for a workspace.

Excellent property and value if you don’t care about breakfast being included. Very responsive to inquiries and very reasonable check out responsibilities.

The house was roomy and comfortable; bathroom for each bedroom. Great location. Smooth check-in. As another reviewer commented, the situation with the water heater wasn't clear. The instruction sheet says the heater is on a preset timer, but doesn't tell you what time. The kitchen counters and dining table had a thin layer of dust, and the cookware was worn and scratched. Would prefer a regular coffee maker, but we saw from a previous reviewer that there's just a French press, so we did know about that.

No longer the same award winning property, the awards were for the original B&B before it went vrbo. Poorly kept, many maintenance issues including windows and doors that won't open or shut properly. Dead flies in the kitchen upon arrival amongst other cleanliness issues. Thermostat is locked and automated, no room to adjust water temp if more or less is needed. Do not provide general hospitality items such as laundry soap or shower toiletries despite having a washer/dryer. When we sent a very nice email to the host regarding these issues. Please see the photos attached.

Our family of 8 (4 couples) really enjoyed our stay in Doolin. The Cottage is in a great location and the property manager did communicate with us when we had a problem with cold showers (we didn't know what time that the water heater would be on). Doolin is very walkable and the cottage had a great game selection for our family. No real grocery store in town so pick up groceries before you arrive. We did miss an actual coffee maker, but the French press worked for a few cups.

The location, literally steps away from McDermott’s and McGann’s Pubs, was the main selling point for our party of 4 adults over 50. It was definitely larger than we needed so it was nice to have the space to spread out. Great location for seeing the Cliffs of Moher, taking the ferry to the Aran Islands, exploring the Burren and driving Slea Head Drive. The washer and dryer came in handy as this stop was just past the mid-point in our two week trip. The hosts were very responsive to questions. Only suggestion would be to provide a roll of paper towels or some napkins for meals. Overall a lovely home away from home!

House is located near Doolin Cave and Cliff of Moher. The terrain and houses around us looked so peaceful and serene. It's like a postcard everywhere you look. The house was well equip. For each of the 4 bedrooms, there was a bathroom. House is walking distant to pub and restaurants nearby. House fit our 2 families well. Kids enjoyed their own room to play D&D.
