Comfortable, updated, great stay!
Reviewed By guinnessr2016Clean, comfortable and just outside the quaint town of Doolin. The property had great views and Martin was welcoming and happy to share recommendations of local sites, shops and pubs. Rooms had lots of space and the continental breakfast has many food items to choose from. No wonder this place has so many good write ups, they are well deserved.

Wonderful guesthouse experience
Reviewed By lmadventuresFor visiting Doolin and the Cliffs of Moher area this is a lovely place to stay. The rooms are modern, spotless with comfortable beds and a spacious and powerful shower. The accommodation is in a separate building adjacent to the house and is on one level only. Hosts were friendly and welcoming and breakfast was delicious. Excellent value and one of the best guest houses we have stayed in. We were definitely impressed with O’Leary’s Lodge and would highly recommend
4. Aran View Country House
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 416 reviews
Aran View Country House, built in the georgian period, in 1736, stands on a hill on the coast road commanding one of the finest views of the wild Clare coastline. Facing the Aran View Country House, lie the beautiful Aran Islands just seven miles from Doolin. To the North is the famous Burren landscape and exotic wild flowers. Looking South is the Doolin pier and the begining of the imposing Cliffs of Moher jutting out into the wild Atlantic Ocean. One will never tire of these views of an ever-changing landscape of greens and blues. Each room is indivudally decorated keeping the Georgian feel as much as possible. You can enjoy a glass of wine, while watching some of the more amazing sunset. You can also enjoy Fresh Scones, tea/coffee in the lounge each afternoon. We assure both new and old guest and warmest of hospitality and relaxation, during you stay at the Aran View Country House.
Best Place of my trip
Reviewed By ScottS_MNThis was the most beautiful place that I stayed in all of Ireland. The honeymoon suite is the worth the few extra euros even though I was alone. I loved sitting in my own chair looking out over the fields to the sea, the Aran Islands, and a bit of the Cliffs of Moher. Beautiful bed & bath. Breakfast cooked to order from a large menu and done perfectly. It's a bit of a walk to town but lots of parking available for your car so I would short drive in. This was a wonderful comfortable place that I highly recommend.

Sweltering rooms, rude staff & uncomfortable beds. Overpriced!
Reviewed By StevieRayCanI would not stay here again, we had the most terrible experience. It is VERY overpriced. The rooms are 2 star, at best. They need a full refit to be decent, or at the very least some more attentive maintenance staff. It is clear that this B&B is not well looked after, or the maintenance staff are completely inept. The beds were absolutely atrocious; it was springy, saggy and in generally poor shape. This was the absolute lowest cost mattress that could be installed. The radiators are missing the adjuster knobs, so be prepared to have your room like a sauna! They are on full open, high heat and you have no way to control them (bring an adjustable spanner/wrench)!!! We had to get staff over to shut the entire system off so that the rooms could be habitable; the heat was turned on again later and we were once again subjected to the tropical conditions. It was extremely unenjoyable. Also, be prepared to deal with staff that are ambivalent at best, downright rude at worst. We showed up an hour after allowable check in time (check in is at 5pm) and our rooms weren't ready yet! We found this out after getting our keys, unloading luggage and getting to the rooms only to find the cleaning staff in the rooms. When I went to reception, the staff said quite rudely "oh yes, your rooms aren't ready - we had full turnover last night" - like it was my fault that they are understaffed. I would have appreciated being informed ahead of time so that I didn't have to unpack luggage twice! We were offered a free drink at the pubs they own next door and told we would be called when they were ready; I'm sure you can guess that we were not called. A dinner reservation for Fitgeralds (the pub/restaurant next door) was made through reception; no surprise here that they did not inform the restaurant of our reservation. The breakfasts were ok, but the staff were once again apathetic and extremely slow. If I could give zero stars, I would. Go stay somewhere else is my recommendation. This place does not deserve your patronage given their terrible service. I've stayed in a lot of hotels, B&B's during my time in Ireland and this was by far the absolute worst experience.

Nice place to stay near Cliffs of Moher
Reviewed By kirmashaStayed there in a room 2A with one big bed and twin beds with my friends. The room is cozy and warm. Breakfast was tasty and big with fresh fruits, bread and pancakes. The one small thing is that you can hear well everything what is going on in the bathroom.

Definitely not my favorite
Reviewed By 348jacksonjIf you are absolutely desperate for a place to sleep then this could be a great option. But if you can stay anywhere else I would. Dirty towels. Uncomfortable beds, small covers, toilet barely flushes. Also they want you to mop the bathroom which I don’t mind but there was a bucket already filled with previous water which really grossed me out. The fire alarm started going off randomly in the morning so everyone got a nice alarm clock. Personally if I ever had to come back here I would use there camping area in the back and would have rather stayed in my tent.

Bell tent superb stay !!!!
Reviewed By crlmurphyWe stayed in doolin glamping last night. A double and 2 single beds were set up for us and a fantastic electric fire kept us very cosy. Toilet/shower room was spotlessly clean ,there was a kitchen area but we didn't go in as we were attending a wedding at hotel doolin a short stroll from the site. The 2 seater couch was a great bonus to have too to sit and relax and electricity to charge the phones. This has been one of the best glamping sites we have stayed at and its great value for money too. We will most certainly be back.
