    The entire experience - it wasn't just somewhere to sleep! The warmest, authentic easy welcome on arrival, the attentiveness of the host, the offers of tea coffee scones. The no frills relaxed vibe, the earthy flagstones Nd wooden rafters, in a premises with a stunning vista and wonderland westerly light. What Bernadette offers is Old School Irish hospitality - at its best. Staying two nights we got to chat with Bernadette about sorts - and leave having made a new connection. The house has been offering hospitality for many years now so it's an older build and a lively cosy place to come home to and relax in.

    That we have to leave !!

    It feels like coming home, visiting the family, very friendly and warm. The owner is very warm-hearted and friendly, drinks for free, helps you in any way. Thanks for your kindness. Suited good for hiking to the Cliffs of Moher.

    Equipment a little getting old, no TV in the room. 4 km to pubs and restaurants

    Very hospitable endearing owner. Offering assistance to all of our needs.

    Nothing was unexpected as have stayed in many B/B, over the years basic but with every kindness.

    We enjoyed the kindness and helpfulness of the owner and the peaceful location with a wonderful view of the ocean. The breakfast was fantastic, and Bernadette makes excellent scones.

    The view and the sunset from the dining room are amazing! Perfect location: the cliffs of moher could be easily reached on foot but unfortunately all the trails are closed.

    Incredible view. Terrific location, not far from Doolin town and not far from Cliffs of Moher Visitor Center. Lots of great books about Ireland in the nice sitting area. Great parking.

    Not overly priced, and nothing fancy, but Bernadette definitely made us feel so welcomed and at home. The location was excellent in terms of not being on a packed downtown street, so parking was not a problem. The breakfast menu/ options were varied. The first morning, we Americans were unprepared for all that a full Irish breakfast entailed. She quickly made our breakfast plates which were overflowing with deliciousness- fried eggs, bacon, sausages, brown pudding, blood pudding, toast, brown Irish bread, and then offered her delightful berry scones. Needless to say, there was way more on my plate than I could eat, but hubby was able to finish what I could not. So the second morning, I had scrambled eggs, yogurt, blueberries and a banana. And, of course another scone! Bernadette certainly overdoes it with her kind and warm heart. And she directed us with suggestions of pubs in town serving great food and pints.

    There was nothing to dislike.

    Never had a better host, we loved staying. The beautiful scones for breakfast were my highlight, whilst my wife Susan loved sitting in the shared front room watching the sunsets.

    Great location; very friendly and accommodating proprietor, Bernadette. She went out of her way to make us comfortable and was genuinely interested in getting to know her guests. The room was comfortable and the view of the sea and Aran Islands just could not be beat!

    We enjoyed this property very much.

    I really like our host Bernadette. She was enthusiastic and willing to go above and beyond to insure her guests enjoyed their stay. Good camaraderie with our fellow travelers. Active people with plans to get out and hike the cliffs of Mohir and explore the Burren. A little weather wasn’t holding anyone back.

    A bit dated, but Bernadette more than compensated for any minor short comings. Good bed and a warm clean shower.
