The Doolin Inn is a wonderful place to stay. The staff were so kind and helpful. The room was amazing! Clean, spacious, good quality linens and bedding. Breakfast was delicious. We were surprised to find out that there is quite a lot to do in the area besides the Cliffs of Moher. Wish we had been able to stay longer. Extra shout out to the staff who were so kind when my daughter was not feeling well and we needed a little extra time. It is exactly their level of thoughtfulness that makes places like the Doolin Inn worth staying at. Wonderful stay! Highly recommend

The rooms were very clean, comfortable, and bathrooms were modern. It was in a great location just a short walk to the shops and the breakfast was very good! It was a pleasant surprise during our time in Ireland and we would absolutely stay there again if we stopped in Doolin.

Great place to stay in Doolin. My only negative experience was the check in process. Our room was not ready at 3:00pm, so we waited in the lounge. No one ever came to get us. We checked in about an hour later. Everything else was ok.
