In the current times, we can appreciate that travel has changed but we would like to assure you that we have implemented all the measures recommended by the Health and Safety Authority (HSE), as outlined below, and that our Welcome remains the same.
We will be practicing social distancing and therefore we will be unable to shake your hands when we first meet, but know that we will welcome you to our home with open arms and with all our heart.
Our detailed response to Covid-19 is available below, but please get in touch and let us know if there is any additional information you need, we are delighted to help in any way we can.
We are looking forward to seeing you at Daly’s House B&B in the very near future and to share our home and Doolin with you again.
