“Chillaxing”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 November 2011

Crazy Americans, we had been running all over Ireland trying to catch as many sights as we could in our two week stay. By the time we arrived at Nellie Dees, we were ready for some down time. There were six in our party, and we took up three of Jimmy's four guest rooms. It was just what the doctor ordered, the rooms were immaculately clean and tidy. I agree with one of the other reviewers that the rooms were tiny, but, hey...who stays in the room? We were able to walk to a couple of the pubs down the street and stagger home again without much ado. We stayed at Nellie's for two nights, took a trip to the Aran Island of Inisheer (wonderful trip), saw the Cliffs of Moher and had a grand time. Jimmy said people come to Nellies to "chillax" which is somewhere between chillin' out and relaxing. Whatever it is, it worked. Nellie's and Doolin were a special part of our trip to Ireland.

Room Tip: All of Nellie's rooms are fairly quiet, sounds you might hear in the morning are the lowing of t...

“Nice B&B, nice host.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 October 2011

My aunt and I stayed here in September. It was very clean and the beds were comfortable. Jimmy, our host, was really great. He offered us good directions and recommendations for places to eat. He was friendly and funny! The next morning, we had a fantastic breakfast. I'd definitely recommend this B&B to newcomers. Very convenient to the Cliffs of Moher.

“Spotless and well run.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 October 2011

Spent our first night in Ireland in this spotless B&B outside of Doolin, Ireland. We had room #3 with a garden view, very nice and quiet. The room was very small and it was hard to find room for our two suitcases. The bath was totally up to date , nicely done, but quite small. A short walk to some local pubs and a short drive to the village proper. Great breakfast in lovely dining, sitting room.@@

Room Tip: The rooms are all quiet, but the rear of the house is more private.

A fine place to stay in Doolin. The rooms were very good and the breakfast was fine. This B&B was walking distance to almost anything in Doolin
