Guestbook & Reviews

  Doolin View Bed & Breakfast is a wonderful place to stay whether you are looking for a quiet weekend away or touring the Irish countryside. With easy access to the... read more Cliffs of Moher, The Burren, Fanore Beach, and many other sites, Doolin View is perfectly situated for your adventures in County Clare.

Sandy and Jason immediately make you feel at home when you arrive and get the tour of the common areas and amenities. Guests have easy access to flashlights and umbrellas to ensure a safe, comfortable, and easy walk from town after hitting up the local pubs. There is also a nice common area to relax and have a drink from the honor bar while taking in the great, peaceful views.

The rooms are well-appointed and are a decent size compared to other properties I’ve stayed at in Ireland. Though they may feel small for Americans, especially if you have a lot of luggage for a long trip away. The beds are comfortable, and the attached bathroom is nice.

Each night, you place a card in your assigned cubby with your breakfast order and desired time for the following morning. There is an assortment of options, including Welsh rarebit and a full Irish. All homemade and delicious. When you come into the common room in the morning, you are warmly greeted and asked for your tea/coffee preference. From there, you can pour yourself some juice/water and assemble a plate of fruit/pastries/cereal. There are loads of options and none are a bad choice!

Being locals, Sandy and Jason have as good a sense as you can of the varied coastal weather. During our stay, it was drizzly and foggy, but Sandy was able to suggest a good time for a Cliffs of Moher visit. It wasn’t perfectly clear, but her suggestion was by far the best view we could have had that day.

You can’t go wrong by staying at Doolin View and would be doing yourself a disservice if you stayed in the area without considering it. Next time my wife and I visit Ireland, we will be staying at Doolin View and we are greatly looking forward to it!

  Stunning and beautiful family experience - The setting truly can’t be matched! Amazing view, comfortable bed, and delicious breakfast. Loved the vegetarian options. The only small quibble we had was the hot water in the shower.... read more The booklet says that it takes a while to heat up when running a shower first thing in the morning, and it definitely does, so just make sure to plan accordingly. Other than that, it was a five star stay and a perfectly lovely experience!

  The views are amazing! - Doolin View is located in an amazing place with views of the ocean and the Cliffs of Moher. Check in was very easy and Sandy was available. The staff was... read more very friendly and we had a nice breakfast. The room was very cute and comfortable. I would definitely recommend this place and hope to return for a longer stay. Truly a special place!

  The best hosts and a wonderful clean room made this a stay to remember. Comfy lounge chairs by the fire with an honor bar, the best Irish breakfast on our... read more vacation, walking distance to the pubs for a true Irish dinner. Close to the Cliffs of Moher and a variety of spots of interest. Great stay, would return in a heartbeat

  Too amazing to leave. Like a 5 star hotel. Amazing amenities. Incredibly thoughtful hosts with everything you could want for an enjoyable stay. Beautiful setting. Even set down parking! Thank... read more you so much.

  My husband and I stayed here back in June while we were hopping around Ireland. Sandy was amazing! When we checked in, she was so welcoming and informative!... read more Our room was on the front of the house with a big window that overlooked the town of Doolin. Everything was great. The town is a short walk from the B&B (altho we drove since we felt like we'd walked enough plus were worried about rain), which I definitely recommend visiting. We had a reservation at the Fiddle and Bow which Sandy endorsed and she was right. Food was delicious. Speaking of food, the breakfast/coffee at the next morning before we left at the B&B was delicious! There was a buffet type spread and you also ordered off the menu the night before. You won't leave hungry.
Would definitely love to stay here again if we get to come back to Doolin!

  Stayed four nights as part of our road trip. Really comfortable and clean room with everything you could need for an enjoyable stay. Great to leave the car in the... read more large car park and wander down to either of the two local pubs or a bit further on for a selection of restaurants. The breakfasts were superb and the owners are very welcoming and can advise on the best things to see and do in the area. Would definitely return if we are in the area again.

  Doolin View is superb! Unfortunately we only stayed for one night but it was amazing. The location is fabulous. The decor and attention to detail in the literary themed rooms... read more is beautiful and the breakfast is delicious. Sandy is such a lovely host. Can't recommend highly enough.

  Great breakfast, hosts, and view; small room - We stayed just one night after visiting the Cliffs of Moher. The hosts, Jason and Sandy, were very nice and welcoming. The view from the porch and the breakfast room... read more was gorgeous and the breakfast was really delicious, with lots of options.

Our room was nicely decorated (as was the whole house) but it was very small and had a full-sized bed, which was fine for us but may matter to some people. It was a short 8-minute walk to the main road and McDermott's Pub where we had dinner, but I believe a much longer walk to the village and Gus O'Connor's.

We really enjoyed meeting Jason and Sandy.

  If I could give this bed and breakfast a 10, I would! The room was clean and cozy with a private bathroom and a small tea service for our... read more convenience. The bed was very comfortable. We enjoyed the downstairs “snug” they have for visitors. Sitting in front of a blazing fire on a cold, rainy day was heaven.
Sandy, our host was a phenomenon. Her breakfasts were delicious, served in a lovely dining room with a view of The Cliffs of Moher. She was always friendly and engaging. She helped us with local information and gave individual attention to our particular needs. Sandy was absolutely charming!

  A Gem in Doolin - A gem in the town of Doolin. Just slightly off the beaten path (away from the hotels on main street), this home is perfect for those looking for a quiet,... read more serene, rejuvenating place to stay — and still walking distance or a short drive to great pubs in town. The cleanest place we've stayed at the entire trip. Breakfast was a delicious home-cooked meal. Hosts were so welcoming and made us feel like we were in our own home. If you're looking for a place in Doolin — PLEASE stay here, we tried others but this was the best.

  Susan just want to say thank you for our lovely room and great nights sleep and fantastic breakfast and the wonderful welcome you gave us. Such a great friendly atmosphere... read more Fantastic location beautiful surroundings and literally minutes from Gus O'Connor's pub which I have to say is a very very very great advantage
We will definitely be back
Thanks marian and Paul

  Doolin View Bed & Breakfast is by far the best place I have ever stayed. Sandy and Jason are very kind, knowledgeable, and helpful. If you need help deciding what... read more to do during your time there, they make the perfect recommendations! You have plenty of breakfast options to choose from. I highly recommend Sandy's porridge. Best porridge I have ever had that kept me full all day and gave me the energy needed for very active days. I cannot say enough good things about both of them.

The Bed & Breakfast itself is the perfect home away from away. If I could have packed the bed in my luggage, I would have. The soaps and lotions in the room are lovely and the smells are relaxing. There are teas, coffee, and snacks provided in the room. BEAUTIFUL views. You can see the Cliffs of Moher while eating breakfast or relaxing in the lounge. The guest lounge is warm & cozy and filled with books or a tv if you prefer. The perfect setting after a long day out. If you're truly looking to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of every day life and experience an amazing journey at the same time, Doolin View Bed & Breakfast is where you should be.

I literally cannot put into words just how wonderful everything was. You must have a visit and see for yourself.

  Best B&B I’ve stayed in - From a warm welcome coming in to a friendly exit the next day, this was by far the best b&b I have stayed in. Immaculately clean room, tastefully decorated space,... read more lovely sitting area with magazines and a fire, great view down to the village, no matter which way or what you looked at, it was perfect. Owners were very willing to chat about local sites, good places to eat, walking distance to town (6 minutes) and directions for the best routes to local attractions (cliffs of Moher, the Burren, Ailwell caves, and Polna Dolmen and more). Highly recommend and will return on another trip.

  Flawless would be the best adjective for our stay. On a halfway clear day their view is gorgeous. Your room is freshened daily which defines a First Class B&B.... read more It was restful, quiet, breakfast was plentiful and delicious. A comfortable sitting room with a fireplace and an honor bar which was necessary as Doolin really doesn’t have shops for that. Walkable to pubs and restaurants. And last but not least, amazing hosts.

  This place has stunning views , comfortable clean rooms , walking distance to pubs with live music , parking , beautiful interior design and delicious breakfast . The service was... read more top notch. We cannot recommend this place enough . If you are staying in Doolin, stay here !

  Great B&B! Hope to come back soon! - Only stayed one night - wish it could have been longer as the owners were so warm and welcoming.

Great breakfast with plenty of coffee!

  Best B&B in Ireland - This B&B and its proprietors are some of the best we’ve ever experienced (and we travel all the time)! The level of care they put into their hosting and accommodations... read more is quite honestly unforgettable!

The breakfast is fresh and delicious, the Yates room was the kind of place we wished our own bedroom at home could mimic. Plus what a spirit of generosity. Grateful for this sweet place to lay our heads down and enjoy Doolin.

  A Wonderful Week! - We really enjoyed the warm hospitality of Sandy & her husband. We soaked in the views as we started each day with a delicious made-to-order breakfast. The room was... read more comfortable. It’s very convenient to walk into town, and a great start for a great hike to the Cliffs of Mohr. We would definitely recommend staying here!

  The Perfect Doolin Setting - This is such a lovely little B&B. Quiet, yet within walking distance to some wonderful pubs. Clean and tidy. There is a cozy sitting room with games and plenty of... read more reading material, and a dining room with that infamous Doolin view. The breakfast was phenomenal. Highly recommend.
