Dun Aengus Ring Fort on Inis Mor is the most impressive bronze age fort in Europe, definitely worth a visit. There is a beautiful view of the Aran Islands from our cottage.

Guestbook for Burren Haven Cottage
04/23/09 - Kim Daly , Tucson, AZ MYself, husband, 16 month old son, parents, sister and brother-in-law vacationed here from various locations in the U.S. I loved the view from Katherine's cottage and the location. The cottage itself is beautiful and spacious. She had accommodations for all age groups. You can see the Aran Islands and Cliffs of Moher from the sitting room and the house was located maybe a five minutes drive from Doolin. I would recommend this cottage.
02/26/09 - M. Rainsford , Philadelphia, PA Katherine, One of the best parts of my 'mid-life crisis excursion' was staying at your place in Doolin! The place is just as advertised: bright, huge, with incredible views of the Cliffs and the Aran Islands. I really appreciate your meeting us in Lisdoonvarna and guiding us in. The activity binder with maps, etc. was very helpful. Next time I'm bringing my kids and staying for awhile! Thanks a million! M. Rainsford - Philadelphia, PA.
