Ginny and Frank´s lovely house in Doonbeg has been a wonderful starting point for exploring County Clare, Galway and Connemara. Awesome cliffs, lakes, castles and villages. We had a very welcoming arrival and the recommendations of the hosts have been very helpful to enjoy our stay. The house was very clean and the beds comfortable. A very quiet place in front of the sea where you can hear nothing but the songs of the birds and the waves of the sea. Thank you very much, Ginny and Frank. I hope you will enjoy in Zarautz as much as we have in Doonbeg.
