“Hidden Gem”

person found this review helpful

We have stayed in this Guest House previously and the breakfast was amazing, we were staying in Lisdoonvarna and decided to head to Cullinan's for dinner and it was Super, from start to finish. Top class food, such a lovely atmosphere and staff excellent. Couldn't say enough about this place a must visit - location is perfect for your stay around Doolin, lisdoonvarna, Cliffs of Moher
Book Dinner as it is always very busy

“A delightful Irish B&B”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 April 2011

A lovely countryside B&B offering clean cheery rooms, nice amenities and good WiFi. The restaurant is first rate but is frequently fully booked so be certain to reserve ahead.

“Wonderful stay. Carol and Jim are fantastic hosts.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 April 2011

Very nice hotel perfectly nestled in the middle of town with great pubs within easy walking distance. Great breakfasts in the morning and Carol was very helpful in pointing out areas of interest to visit. Beds and linens are VERY comfortable.

Room Tip: Ask for a second floor room overlooking the river.

“Best bed since leaving home!! Fabulous breakfast”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 April 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Cullinan's B&B located in main street of Doolin feels like a mini hotel - the rooms were large and very clean and well kept - the bathrooms also. The bedrooms had everything that you could want whilst travelling and the beds were the best we had slept in since leaving home - I since found out that the mattresses are the new memory foam type - just lovely! There was also no other noise to be heard from any of the other rooms despite there being TV's in each room and a variety of guests including children at no times could we hear any other guest noise.
Carol was our hostess and she was very pleasant and obliging at all times. Unfortunately for us the restaurant was not open until the Easter weekend so we just missed this but she was happy to recommend other places in town for a meal.
Breakfast was yummy! We were invited to choose from a menu - just like a cafe - pancakes were delicious!
This B&B certainly surpassed my expectations - the rooms were spotless, beds fabulously comfortable and the breakfast more like going out to a cafe. We were very pleased with everything about Cullinan's.
Located on the main street in Doolin is not exactly like being on a major road - it was quiet and well located - you could walk anywhere and still be fine to walk home after an evening out. Free WIFI through out also was a bonus.
About a 10 minute drive to the famous Cliffs of Moher.

Room Tip: Great B&B, fabulous beds and great food.

“Excellent B&B”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 November 2010

We had read excellent reviews of this guesthouse in English magazines and it lived up to its reputation, as we visited in November, understandably the resturant was closed for the winter, but judging by the quality of the breakfast, we would love to visit when the resturant is open, the rooms are spotless , the beds comfy, the dining room is very smart , overlooking the river, and there are two separate living rooms available for guests, James and Carol are very good hosts, they are also excellent musicians, and as they were not too busy due to the time of the year, we went to see them play at a session at O,Conners pub, it started at six and was still going when we left in the early hours of the morning, with musicians coming and going all night, we wondered if we would get our breakfast in the morning, but they were both up bright and breezy, and James pancackes were as good as ever, we would recomend Culinans to anyone, and can say that even going out of season it is possible to find music in the pubs and a great atmosphere, would also recomend Mc Ganns pub as excellant food.
