Dream Holiday in Doolin!

My visit to this charming 5 star home really was memorable. I found that every part of this property was marvelously decorated, tastefully furnished, immaculate, spacious but with a warm homely feel. The facilities were second to none. The large living area, dining area/kitchen were extremely well equipped and the bedrooms were beautiful and very comfortable, all en-suite - 3 doubles and 1 twin. There was an amazing entrance hall and fabulous large siting room. The panoramic views were simply superb - an absolute highlight for me - I remember watching sunrise over the Aran Islands from the Living Room one morning - simply nothing like it! The owners have obviously put a lot of time and effort into it! The scenery on the coastline nearby was just gorgeous, the Cliffs of Moher have to be seen - stunning! Beautiful beaches too, oh the fresh air! All the trips we made were within an easy drive and we were able to source and organise these ourselves as we had internet access at this holiday home. The night life locally was brill - great pubs with traditional music - a real refreshing getaway from a busy office! I found it hard to leave this beautiful home at the end of our holiday, I have very fond memories and will definitely return one day!

My daughter and I stayed with some girlfriends at Tigh Padraig some time ago. The house is beautifully situated with views as far as the eye can see and easy access to the surrounding countryside. The house itself is beautifully decorated with a fabulous kitchen/dining area and really comfortably bedrooms, as large as the house is, it still has a wonderful home-like feel to it. We booked directly which was hassle free and the couple who run it for the owners couldn't do enough for us.
Absolutely Fabulous….

This 5 star accommodation has everything you could wish for and more. My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for that extra special place to stay. The huge open plan fully equipped kitchen/dining room makes it an ideal place for entertaining and the luxurious bedrooms that are all en-suite means that no one misses out. As well as it being a fabulous place to stay in, the surrounding area offers loads to do and see including the Cliffs of Moher and the Burren. The scenery is amazing and the local village offers great entertainment for a night out. We certainly had great “craic” in Tigh Padraig and Doolin and with such ease of booking directly through the owners I’ll be back!
Tigh Padraig - Deadly Doolin at its Finest
Guest: Noelie(China)
Date of Stay: 10/17/10 Review Submitted: 12/05/10
Had to take the wife and inlaws home to Ireland and so decided to threat them to a week down the country and we choose Doolin. We also choose to go self catering as Hotels in Ireland can be very hit and miss and coming from asia the inlaws are used to a very high standard in Asian Hospitality so I searched the internet and settled on house called Tigh Padraig. Well I am now the favourite Son-in-Law. Doolin proved to be its wonderful self, the golf was fantastic albeit a tad bit windy from those used to the manicured fairways in Mission Hills, the pubs as warm and wonderful as the guide describes, the restaurants suprisingly excellect with many using only locally grown / reared ingredients and then of courses there are the cliffs - awesome. But we are on the west coast and therefore we had a touch of rain (what the locals call a soft day) and most days happened to be soft but we had our saviour in Taig Padraig. This was a fantastic place as on more than one occasion we were house bound due to the extremities outside - this I was dreading as what would the guys do but the house had everything including a soul. As you can tell I dont usually write a review after staying somewhere but I feel compelled to share this wonderful experience. It'll be short but sweet. We arrived after a relaxing 4 hour drive from Dublin, sap nav important but not essential, tricky drive up to the house but we could have parked the team bus on arrival. TP was warm, inviting and the four of us quickly scoured the house like kids on a scavanger hunt - her dad is usually very reserved but he too was like a kid in a candy store, rooms were choosen only to be given up when other parts of the house were discovered - this went on for a while but eventually we all settled down. I had thought of asking if the guys wanted a game of hide and seek but we only had a week and that may not be enough time. Instead it was time for dinner and no-one fancied venturing out into the unknown instead we cooked - we brought a load of food and all the essentials only to find most of them there already - kitchen was huge and so we all got involved, we sat together and talked till the early hours like we had done this a million times - this however was the first time and so very special. TP offered up many surprises on this trip no more than how well my guests felt, noticed when we were leaving for Dublin the tears from the mother-in-law and the father talking to the house when we had our backs turned.......

Immaculate Home with Stunning Views
Guest: Dot(Surrey)
Date of Stay: 02/22/08 Review Submitted: 12/03/10
My girlfriends and I thoroughly enjoyed our break here. Immaculate throughout with all the modern comforts you can think of. It's description is accurate with a very homely feel and the views from the property are amazing you just want to sit, relax and gaze out at the beautiful scenery. There is lots to do around the area but especially enjoyed the "craic" in the local pubs in Doolin which were hosting a music festival at the time of our stay. A trip to Arran Islands a must, along with Cliffs of Moher and the Burren which are all in close proximity. I highly recommend this property.

Superb spot for an indulgent week or long weekend with breathtaking views of some of Ireland's most spectacular coastline. The house is beautifully decorated with a fabulous kitchen and living area for entertaining, super ensuite bedrooms offering lots of privacy if in a large group and a fab outdoor bbq area. We loved our time here and have already booked again for next year. There is lots to do in the surrounding area with beaches nearby and the famous Aran Islands, not to the mention the great local pubs and restaurants. A completely hassle-free holiday and the couple who look after the property were very helpful and welcoming. Can highly-recommend it.

There are a large number of rental properties around Ireland but by far, this exceeds any we have stayed in before. It is more comparible to a 5 star hotel than a holiday home. The layout of the house is perfect with a great open plan (fully equipped) kitchen / living area - ideal for socialisig, beautiful bedrooms with the most comfortable beds!. The views are spectacular and the house is so well positioned to cater for everyone's needs. It was a pleasure to deal with the owners and also the couple who manage the property who made us feel very welcome. I would definitely recommend this house to anyone.

My husband, two kids and I stayed in this fantastic house last weekend. We loved it so much we did not want to leave it. We never slept in a bed so comfortable as the leather sleigh bed downstairs. It was just so peaceful and yet only a short drive to the bustling village of Doolin with fantastic local bars providing nightly entertainment. The open plan kitchen/living room was so spacious and very child friendly. The owners even provided a high chair and travel cot. The al fresco dining was ideal complete with barbeque and as for the views - they were awesome. There was nothing missing from this luxurious house complete with manual which answered any queries that we may have had from where to eat, what to do or simply how to use the washing machine - nothing was omitted. It was spotlessly clean and we would hightly recommend this property to our friends and relations. This house has to be seen to be believed. We hope to return there again very soon it was one of the best weekends we have ever had in Ireland and we have travelled quite a bit!

This is an exceptional place home to gather, relax and rejuvinate
Guest: tm(Brooklyn, NY)
Date of Stay: 06/19/10 Review Submitted: 07/21/10
My family and I have rented a number of vacation homes and this one met all of our expectations. It is a perfect spot to gather an extended family since it provides ample space to gather for meals and socializing as well as places to get away and be quiet. The kitchen/family room has every amenity you could possibly need; the adjoining living room has a door that closes allowing the socializing to continue for some while allowing others to retire in peace. Some might find the 2km walk to the village to be a bit much but for us it provided a degree of privacy that worked perfectly. We all walked to town at some point - or made the easy drive. The owners and property managers were very responsive during an unantiicipated water rationing due to extremely dry weather. All worked out. This house is worth every penny.
