“No frills value”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 August 2009

We got in late, and this place had a room for 3. The owner (man) seemed cheerful. The linens and room itself were clean, just old. The bath needs updating, but there was hot water and everything worked. The windows were open, but with no screens, bugs easily came in (and did). Had to get a few spiders out of the tub, but it wasn't overrun or anything. No tv, but we weren't there to watch tv. Our towels were old beach towels (mine was Manchester United).
Despite the lack of luxury, this was actually the BEST sleep we had the whole trip. Nice crisp air, the beds were very comfortable, crisp clean sheets. Very quiet. The coffee and english breakfast were simple but very good and ready for us when we got downstairs.
If you are stopping by Doolin for one night and don't plan to spend a lot of time in the room, this is a really great value (only 25 euros pp for us when we had been spending about 40 - 45 euros elsewhere). This is a great location to get to McGann's pub, and gives you a great sleep. This was not a b&b to rave about the accomodations, but one to rave about the value! I'd recommend for those looking for a convenient place to rest their head and save money.

“very tattered”

person found this review helpful

from the exterior the house is lovely, and near the centre of doolin. but the room was very poor: no tv set, just one lamp (that didn't work), narrow bathroom...the wiew was ok, but we can't stay at the indow all day long...also the linen were old and seemed dirt, even if they weren't!
we think that the owner has to refurbish the rooms.

“Friendly, relaxed, great breakfast”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 July 2009

Incredible location close to everything that happens in Doolin. Got the impression from Ann that nothing we asked for would be too much trouble. We enjoyed our stay.

“A little tattered”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 June 2007

Doolin House is in an excellent location, within easy walking distance to the "lower" part of Doolin. The owner was friendly and the building is very attractive from the outside. The problem is on the inside...this place has apparently not been updated since the 1970's. It is very dated and somewhat tattered and not the cleanest place we stayed at in Ireland. Limited breakfast menu, but the food was okay.
