We are foodies- and Cullinan's exceeded our expectations. We had such a great dinner our first night in town we ate there the following day as well. The staff are incredibly welcoming and the small, intimate dinning room with great windows nearly all around instill a sense of peace. The guesthouse is also a great central location with very affordable... More

The rooms were clean and very comfortable. our package included a breakfast each morning. The meal was, also, the best breakfast we had during our trip. Would definitely stay there if we are back in the area.

This was my second visit here with my husband. This is a special place. I am a picky eater but could find no fault with any of my 4 courses. Licked plate for them all. Staff so lovely and friendly, lovely atmosphere and great view of night sky. Love it!!

The food was amazing, especially the dessert (chocolate and peanut mousse), which blew us away ! We had a very beautiful wine with our meal as well. Service was as good as the food, the perfect balance. In fairness, it is really worth going to Carol and James Cullinan for dinner if you are in Doolin ! Thank you folks... More

Cullinan's is a great place to stay and a great place to eat. The hospitality and friendliness of the owners makes this a great place to spend a few days while visiting the cliffs of Moher and the Arran Islands. I can recommend this place to everybody !

My wife and I enjoyed probably our best dinner in Ireland. Our guide/driver, Christy Woods, highly recommended Cullinan's. He told us that this would be the place to have a special dinner during our visit to Ireland. It is a small restaurant, so reservations are definitely needed. We got a wonderful table with a nice view. My wife enjoyed their... More
