It was glamping at its finest
The tipi was a perfect place to stay. It was a beautiful outdoor space with all of the hostel amenities. It was glamping at its finest. Our hostess was amazingly kind and gave us the suggestion to walk to the Cliffs of Moher. It was an hour and a half or more walk, and it was stunning the whole way! I would definitely recommend this experience!
Cozy Tipi Tent
Stayed 2 nights in the cozy Tipi tent, which was a really nice experience. Lots of space and comfort. Everything was as described, lovely staff.

Surfing
Doolin and its surrounding areas are now rated as some of the top places to surf in Europe. There are two right-hand reef breaks - Doolin Point and Crab Island, both within twenty minuts walk from the hostel, but be warned, these aren't for the uninitiated! Recently, a 40 foot wave was 'discovered' between Doolin and the Cliffs of Moher. Named Aileens after it's location Aill na Searach (meaning 'leap of the foals', after the legend of seven fairy horses who met their fate at the spot), it's a tow-in wave for experts only. There are a number of good beach breaks close by in Lahinch, Fanore and Spanish Point.
