Doolin Inn

10/10 Excellent
"Our stay at the Doolin Inn was a delight! We had a lovely modern suite which shared a commons area with the suite next door. Comfy bed, cozy sitting room and pleasant bathroom, it was all perfect. The Irish breakfast in the morning was the best we had on our trip, all done to perfection. Best of all, though, was it was a hundred yards down the street from O'Connor's Pub, which has traditional Irish music everynight. The food, drinks, wait staff and customers were all wonderful. A couple of nice shops along the way, too. We'd go back there in a minute!"

"We loved the spa amenities connected to this hotel. We made use of the hot tub, the sauna, and the steam room. The hotel had beautiful views and the meals we ate at both the bar and the restaurant were fantastic. The room we had did not have air conditioning but we were there in the fall so it was not required, however, if I was coming in the summer I would definitely want to make sure I had a room with AC. We would definitely stay here again."

"We had an absolutely wonderful one-night stay at Armada House! The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations. The decor was absolutely fantastic, with so much character and thoughtful design throughout the property. We also had dinner at Aileen’s Restaurant at the nearby Armada Hotel, and the food was amazing! It was the perfect way to end our evening on the west coast of Ireland. Even though we only stayed for one night, Armada House was a highlight of our trip. We wish we could have stayed longer and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting County Clare. We would absolutely love to return!"
