Doolin hotels - About Doolin
Population (2006)
Doolin (Dúlainn in Irish) is a coastal village in County Clare, Ireland, on the Atlantic coast. It borders the spa town of Lisdoonvarna. It is a well known centre of traditional Irish music, which is played nightly in its three pubs, making it a popular tourist destination. There are numerous nearby archaeological sites, many dating to the Iron Age and earlier. Doonagore Castle and Ballinalacken Castle are also in the area.
One of Doolin's claims to fame is that it is the main setting for the PlayStation 3 game Folklore. According to the game's storyline, the Netherworld, the world of the dead is a realm that can only be accessed from one place in the world, the sea-side village of Doolin.
Doolin is one of three places (Galway and the village of Rossaveal on the northwest shore of Galway Bay are the others) with ferry services to the Aran Islands, which are visible from the town. Doolin is also close to the Cliffs of Moher, and a bus service between Galway and Limerick/Ennis calls at both Doolin and the cliffs in each direction. The area is at the south-western corner of the Burren region.
The scattered village of Doolin comprises three parts along with a harbour.
The Harbour is the departing point for boat trips to the Aran Islands and the Cliffs of Moher. There is also a very good campsite near by.
Fisher Street has O'Connor's Pub,Doolin hostel, shops, restaurants and bed and breakfasts.
Fitz's Cross Where there is a hostel, campsite and two new hotels and another pub which opened in 2006/2007
Roadford has McGann's and Mc Dermott's pubs, three restaurants, two hostels including The Rainbow Hostel, and a number of B&Bs.
The Aille River runs from the hills of the Burren down past Doolin to meet the sea. The small Crab Island is a short distance out from Doolin Harbor, barren except for the remains of a 19th Century stone constabulary outpost.
