more than once, the Aran Island tour change, the Doolin Cave tour.

Sea View House is an ideal location to tour The Burren and Doolin Cave - both activities are fantastic and well worth the expenditure of time.

The Cliffs of Moher, Aran Islands, Doolin Cave, and climbing Mullaghmore Mountain were all amazing things to do.

We spent the rest of the day going into all of the little shops in Doolin, visited the Doolin Cave and then had a great dinner at Gus O'Connor's Pub.

Overall amazing inn to stay while visiting the Cliffs of Moher (10 minute drive), the Burden and Doolin Cave.

Even traveling back to Dublin from Doolin, we took the owners advice for our final day itinerary (visit Doolin Cave, Ailish Cave, and have a late lunch in Galway to be back in time for dinner in Dublin while missing all the traffic) and they were right and their advice made our last day just as memorable as the first!

Very easy drive to the Cliffs and Doolin Cave.

One was to visit Doolin Cave, only recently was it opened up to the public and made for a good trip to see the huge stalagtite hanging from the roof of the underground cave.

Seaview has it all--easy walking distance to all 4 pubs in town, to shopping, to the seacoast, to an ancient Norman castle, to the bus taking you to the spectacular Doolin Cave, to Internet access. .

The bed was so comfy, the room was spotless and the overall feel and vibe of the house was perfect!

Our room was spotlessly  clean and cosy with spectacular views of the gorgeous village below.

The room was immaculate and the made to order breakfast was delicious.

Room was clean, comfortable and with a great view of the ocean.

The rooms are immaculate and the breakfast is possibly one of the best I’ve ever had.

Our room was very clean and good sized with an equally clean bathroom.

Our rooms were clean and nicely appointed.

Our room was neat, clean, and comfortable.

Our room was neat and clean ( spotless) and the view of a castle from our room or the view of ocean from the front deck was just lovely!

Immaculate rooms, gourmet breakfast and a short walk to O'Connor's Pub and Frank's Ivy Cottage.

Friendly hosts, clean room, beautiful location, great breakfast.

The rooms were spotless and the bed was so comfortable.

She showed us our rooms which were very clean and nicely decorated.

The food was fantastic, the rooms spotless and comfortable, the breakfast was incredible, and the location cannot be beat!

The rooms are clean, comfortable and bright and the Darra and Niall made us feel so welcome.

Our room was clean, comfortable, quiet, and had everything we needed.

Our room was very clean with a modern bathroom.

Another key reason we chose Sea View - we wanted a place to relax for a bit before we continued on with our travels.

Second, it has an interior area between the front door and the locked door leading to the home so that without a key you can get shelter from the rain or wind and even kick off muddy boots.

We received a warm greeting when we arrived with the suggestion taking our keys, waiting to bring in our bags, and taking the boat tour to the Cliffs of Moore.

All four rooms have a private bathroom off of them and you will have a key to lock your room.

With the light dim and the door locked we stood in the rain and knocked hard on the door. A few moments later the door opened and we were literally greeted by Darra with this statement,  " We HAVE a bell, it's over THERE! "

but not to worry that they would leave a key for us.

Daire organised all our sightseeing for us and advice on locality.

We also enjoyed a chat with the owners, Darra and Niall, who then gave us a suggested route home to make the most of the last of the trip!

On arrival we were greeted with our names on the board, Niall gave us a tour of the facilities.

Thank you Darra and Niall for all the kind help, thus we manage to book a boat tour to Inis Oirr and Cliff of Moher in the very last minute, before heading to Galway.

but offer concierge-like services just in chatting, for tours, sightseeing, dining, and all the details you need!

Niall suggested we take the coastal route on our way to Galway.

We found the Sea View House to be the perfect base for walking the Cliffs of Mohrer (the guided tour that leaves from below the house is a must), taking a day trip to the Arran Islands (Darra steered us well in suggesting a visit to the smallest of the islands and a horse-drawn carriage tour), listening to some good traditional music and stories (the House of Music evening as arranged by Darra was a highlight), and traveling through the Burren (with the Burren Perfumery as a surprising highlight).

There are endless cycling routes and hiking trails in the area.

We especially enjoyed our horse carriage tour of one of the Aran Islands with Michael and his horse Murphy (recommended by Darra); a non touristy experience which is what we wanted.

We received excellent recommendations from Niall of where to tour and eat and loved every suggestion made - we were sent off the beaten path and had an affordable meal at a Michelin star restaurant, how could it not be amazing!

Make sure you take the guided tour of the cliffs with Pat Sweeney - it was the highlight of our visit to Doolin.

Another bonus is that you can meet Pat Sweeney for a guided tour of the cliffs along a 5 mile hike to the visitor center and so much better.

We had planned on going to the Cliffs of Moher visitor center and/or doing a boat tour of Cliffs.

We were doing a tour all around Ireland and can honestly say that Doolin was our favourite place and the Sea View was perfect.

She was able to give us a run down of the town, restaurants, events, music and even the types and sizes of boats that run tours to the islands and cliffs.

So on her advice we took Pat Sweeney’s Cliff of Moher walk, took a boat to one of the Aran Islands followed by a tour of the Cliffs of Moher from the water side, went to Music House and heard a great concert, and went to the sheep dog demo and the Burrens.

We went on the walking tour of the Cliffs of Moher with Pat (highly recommend) and the meeting place for the tour is right across the street from Sea View House.

They were so helpful in suggesting tours and places to visit and eat.

Additionally, I believe every morning at 10am Pat Sweeney offers an up close and personal tour of the Cliffs of Moher.

Susan has plenty of suggestions and recommendations on where to go and what to see.

Susan made us feel well cared for from the moment we walked in, offering drinks and providing great recommendations for how to spend our time in Doolin.

Her advice on where to eat and drink were helpful as was her travel advice.

Susan provided great recommendations for activities, dining and music in the pubs (which was just a short walk down the hill).

She picked us up from the bus stop,  made recommendations for our visit from visiting the Aran Islands to places to eat.

What was really remarkable was Susan’s hospitality - she welcomed us warmly, chatted with us in the sitting room over wine and Baileys, gave us fantastic recommendations on things to do/see in Doolin and provided a delicious breakfast served in a lovely room overlooking her gardens.

Amazing hostess, excellent recommendations, comfortable beds, beautiful garden, centrally located, and a delicious breakfast.

The Doolin Cave, her recommendation, was a great alternative for a rainy and cold day and we were able to do the boat tour of the Cliffs a day early thanks to her.

Even before we arrived, Susan made booking a breeze, and gave us excellent recommendations for our stay.

They provided us with delicious breakfast, fantastic recommendations, and conversation that felt like we had known them forever.

That was just the first of many great recommendations!

Susan's recommendations turned out to be some of the best activities of our trip.

She was extremely accommodating and knowledgeable and gave us great recommendations for areas to explore in the area.

Susan will give you great advice on what to do/where to eat in this beautiful neighbourhood.

Susan's knowledge of the area enables her to provide great recommendations for all types of things to see and do.

Her hospitality was amazing and she gave great recommendations.

but the entire region is so helpful to those looking for recommendations.

Recommendations and reservations were made by Susan, she steered us in all the right directions.

I loved every minute in Doolin and thanks to Susan’s recommendations we were able to see and do more than we planned on our own.

but not least, we can not say enough about Susan… her friendly, personable disposition and great advice on attractions etc.

Susan pointed us in the right directions several times, from the Cliffs of Moher boat ride (a 10-minute walk from Daly’s house) to the Burren Perfumery (and wonderful coffee shop), to the sheep dog demonstrations at Caherconnell Fort.

Susan made dinner reservations and boat reservations for us - we were so well looked after.

It’s a two minute walk to the pub and town of Doolin.. We took a boat tour to the Arab islands which was one of the most amazing places I’ve ever seen.

You can take a ferry to the Aran Islands from the Doolin Pier (this is not information that is readily found in guidebooks or online FYI)  You can also take a tour by boat under the Cliffs late in the day- (also information not readily discovered elsewhere-) Our time in Doolin at Dalys was magical.

Susan arranged a boat trip of the Cliffs and arranged for a magnificent dinner at the Oar restaurant.

She made reservations for us in the pubs, called about the boat to the Aran Islands, and even made a hot toddy when she heard a sniffle.

We inquired about a boat trip to the Cliffs of Mohr.

From there, you can take a boat ride out to the Aran Islands and the Cliffs of Moher.

What a perfect choice for seeing the area, including Cliffs of Moher (we also took a boat out to one of the Aran Islands).

We then did the boat ride along side the Cliffs of Moher which was fun to see from that perspective.

Susan welcomed us on the afternoon we arrived with Irish coffee and made us Irish coffee again as we returned in the afternoon a bit wet after a wild boat ride back from Innis Orr.

The new boat provides a smoother and faster ride to the Islands.

We headed out immediately for a  boat cruise as per Susan's recommendation to see the Cliffs from the water.

Susan kindly arranged our ferry boat ride to Inishmore island and an enjoyable/informative horse and buggy tour of the island.

The home is quiet and surrounded by beautiful gardens and a pasture, yet just a short walk to O'Connors pub and a ticket store for the ferry boats and tours of the Cliffs of Moher and the Aran Islands. The bedroom was very comfortable with plenty of space, a roomy shower (those are hard to come by in Europe generally!)

But most of all, Susan and Kate are some of the most gracious hosts we have ever met, making us feel like family as they offered directions, places “not to be missed”, called ahead for reservations on the boat, and even offered an ice pack for a bruised ankle!

On out second day she booked us a trip to one of the Aran Islands that included a trip to the Cliffs of Moher by boat.

We'd booked ourselves on to a boat trip on one of the days we were there.

The room and the bathroom look brand new.

I asked Susan the brand she used and I bought a bag to come home.

There were 2 luggage racks so my husband and I each had a place to put our bags.

Go when the window is open in case rains come in go to cliffs as soon as you see opening.

A couple in their 70's lugging 2 large suitcases is not always a good idea.

Our room had little room for more than small suitcases, which luckily was all we travel with.

The rooms were spotless, there were voltage converters in the rooms, breakfast was wonderful with many options and even soy milk for the homemade granola (I’m vegan).

The B&B itself is beautiful, the room immaculate, the grounds breathtaking.

The breakfasts were delicious, the property was beautiful, and our room was clean and cozy with a smart TV to enjoy at the end of the day.

The rooms are immaculate with beautiful decor.

Rooms were very clean, and it was the only spot we stayed in Ireland that had a smartTV which allowed us to stream our favorite shows.

Clean rooms, excellent breakfast, views to the Moher cliffs.

The rooms are immaculate and incredibly comfortable.

The rooms were very clean and comfortable.

We had an exceptionally clean room with a rain shower and a beautiful view of a 16th-century castle.

My wife and I were welcomed warmly, our room was spotless, and breakfast was outstanding.

Susan is  a lovely and amazing host who made us feel very welcome on our arrival with  welcoming baileys coffees, Our room was spotlessly clean and very comfortable.

The room was spotless and felt very luxiurious, the bed and the pillows were more than comfortable and the bathroom was one I wish I could have taken home with me.

She had the heating on in our room which was very welcoming that night .Through out our stay all requirements were met .The room was spotless hotel quality .Breakfast was excellent set us up for the day with home made granola and wide selection of omelettes ,breads and cakes.She gave us great advice on routes to tour in the area .Gus Oconnors was only two minute walk away which had good food and music ,recommended by Susan .

The room was spotless, with TV, Netflix and a lovely warm shower!

The rooms are very clean and the beds are so comfortable.

The stay was of hotel standard, the rooms were immaculate, comfiest beds ;) and breakfast was lovely.

The rooms are very clean, tastefully decorated, and inviting.

but we didn’t spend much time at it…archeological and full of history. There are self-guided and guided tours of it.)

She provided several options for things to do and we ended up following her written guide for a tour of the Burren.

Susan's Daly's House B&B was a welcome respite on our two week tour through the UK.

We had an 11 day tour around Ireland and when we debriefed at the end, we all said that this was our favorite place and the tiny town of Doolin is the place we'd most like to return to.

Aside from being a gracious hostess Susan also assisted in arranging for our private tour of the Cliffs of Moher  & the Burren.

She gave us a tour of her property and our rooms upon our arrival.

We were greeted with wine and coffee on arrival, a full tour and the warmest welcome we had in all of the guesthouses we stayed in Co. Clare.

She genuinely wants her guests to enjoy their stay, offering restaurant suggestions and advice on nearby sightseeing options.

Susan had tried to set up a tour of the cliffs for us,

We took the ferry to Inishmor and did the pony cart tour to Dun aengus.

Susan k ew we wanted to visit Aran Islands and put us in touch with a wonderful Pony and Trap tour of Inis Mor.

So much to do in the area- a trip to the Aran Islands, tour of the Burren, visit to the Cliffs of Moher.

The next day we did another guided walk of the Burren with Tony Kirby before moving on to the Connemara.

Susan recommended restaurants, set up a tour for us on Inishmore and even had information for us when we headed off to Galway.

We were given information on (self-guided) tours; the Burren tour was very worthwhile. A word of advice when you are driving around on narrow country roads: there are a huge number of large coaches travelling on these little lanes (which are really not suited to such vehicles.)

She gave us directions to the Cliffs of Moher and also a better route to Dingle.

Son,husband,daughter x2 my great great grandparents actually came from Clare so I should say I’m from Irish folk anyways to the point book in was good we got to the room with all our luggage  and it wasn’t very pleasant there was and extreme odour coming from the washroom.

very environmentally friendly, no single serving plastics, beautiful Voya products in the bathroom, lovely bed linens .

The rooms are very clean & the beds very comfy, even the toiletries smell fantastic.

We visited Doolin cave, swam off Doolin pier, took a boat trip around the Cliffs of Moher, enjoyed a seaweed bath in nearby Clahane and took endless scenic walks.

very clean and  friendly staff , Hotel Rooms are spacious and very important a powerful shower .

The barns toilets are very nicely decorated too!

The staff and service was excellent 
The food was lovely
The rooms were really nice beds comfortable 
The Voya products in the bathroom real treat
Location super

The toilets were really clean and included some lovely Voya hand soap.

The nice comfy bathrobes were a special treat as were the brownies on our arrival.

The cherry on top was the strong commitment to ecofriendly practices -- all the toiletries are large/refillable and there is hardly a trace of plastic.

The bathroom had a very large bath and a powerful shower with lots of hot water.

Modern friendly large rooms all amenities great.

Made to feel very welcome from arrival and even shown to our room and asked if we wanted a newspaper for the morning.Loved the seaweed handwash in the bathroom.Disappointed that the restaurant/pub was full for dinner

The hotel is very focused on being eco friendly which was an important factor for us too, from the toilet roll in the rooms to planting trees for every wedding that they do.

Toiletries and your now food you require.

but I can rectify that straight away the Hotel is 5 star only beaten by its customer service the food is excellent I can recommend the fish and chips and the rack of ribs and reasonably priced too

but has so much character, and new toilets.

The only negative at all would be that our room was on the first floor very close to the main doors on the hallway.

You had to zig zag down some odd hallways and stairs to find it though.

She explained that breakfast was served down the hallway in their restaurant.

but the hallways and rooms felt much more run down.

like many push-doors and hallways as if you're walking through a long corridor at a hospital.

The carpet and doors were dirty, the lights in the hallway and dining room didn't work and the upholstery on the chairs in the dining room had holes in them.

but still it was cold in the reception area and long the corridors at all times and in the bedroom at times also.

When we arrived we noticed a loud buzzing from the fuse box and after contacting the front desk were immediately moved to a room down the hall.

Breakfast was served in a restaurant down the hall, a hall connected the Doolin to a 'pantry', this eating area', a tourist information office and finally Fitzsimmons pub.

Microbrew celebration in courtyard that was going until midnite with electric music and renovation going on that gave the hallways a toxic smell that mixed poorly with the chlorine odors emanating from the service laundry on first floor.

Disadvantages were no AC (although the room blew out quickly with the windows open wide) and the the WiFi signal did not reach even half way down the hallway and I had to sit in the lobby to do my browsing--with a mohito next to me.

The lanterns lit our way back down the hallway afterwards.

The kids next door were playing loudly in the hall outside our room,

Our corridor stunk of cannabis for most of the time we were there, I'm just  unsure if it was a guest getting stoned or the room service staff having a sneaky spliff- hence the room not being cleaned?

Only down side would be lack of channels in the bedrooms (but didnt matter so much as didnt spend much time in the room as out sightseeing), no fitness centre, and also felt the halls leading up to the bedrooms were quiet dark, looked like it was missing a few bulbs.

When we sat down at about 8pm, this medium sized and intimate restaurant which is screened from the corridor by attractive wood and etched glass panels was about half full.

This hotel gives the impression that there is actually no one in charge.No one seems to know what their role is,what time any thing such as food is served.We stayed in the adjoining houses which really need an upgrade.Beds too short with poor mattresses.An extra daily charge for electricity.One shower which did not work properly.Food not great..I believe that unless they get their act together there will be many more bad reviews into the future which is a shame as the location is great.I will not stay here again

Not to mention poor Stephen and Mark the night staff who didn’t judge us or give out to us when we didn’t go to bed or want the night to end, very sorry guys , we don’t get out much😂.

Unfortunately the service overall was very poor and we spoke to the manager about this as it got to a point were everything went wrong during our time there.

The mattress on the bed was of poor quality with the support non existent so an uncomfortable sleep had.

One down side of this hotel was the terrible wifi coverage, no 3G coverage in the location leaves guests dependant on decent wifi , this was patchy and poor.

Obviously no supervision, poor training, management by abdication.

Cleanliness of room was extremely poor ~ dirty bathroom and horrible rough old towels.

if i have 1 complaint it was that the chicken in the sambo was pan fried rather than roasted, boo hoo poor me.

Mattress was very thin and overall bed comfort was poor.

The lighting in the bathrooms was also very poor.

The food is poor and well overpriced to rip off tourists headed to O'Connors pub down the road for some magnificent Traditional Irish music, better that a concert really.

The service was excellent and the rooms were spotless.

The rooms and the houses were spotless and the food was second to none.

Our room was spotless well laid out and beautifully decorated, the breakfast in hotel was absolutely ginormous and very tasty, Wi-fi in hotel is good, all the staff were very friendly and efficient.

Check inn was fast and efficent room was clean ,warm and comfortable .

The rooms were clean, sleek and the beds were comfortable.

We had a very nice clean room and had a comfortable stay.

The food is great and the rooms are clean and comfy.

Our room was very clean, and the price we paid was very reasonable.

We spent one mid-week night there, and found the room spotlessly clean, comfortable, and quiet.

Our handicapped accessible room was very clean and nicely appointed,

Hotel room was spotless and sheets clean and crisp.

During our visit to Doolin, we stopped by the Hotel Doolin for lunch.

Had the nicest visit to hotel Doolin this weekend!

A couple of minutes walk to Doolin beach, would highly recommend this place for a visit to switch off and relax.

The star of the visit was the St tola goats cheese salad, (well done to Chris, major compliments to the chef) I see it on a lot of menus in the area

Certainly worth a 2 day visit when you are on the Wild Atlanic Way.

So if your in the Fabulous Doolin area make sure to pay a visit! !

though I did visit The Attic venue in its back area.

A number of us decided to visit Hotel Doolin on the weekend the wedding would have been, to mark the date.

Breakfast choices for everyone & accommodating to fussy eaters.Make sure to try the pizza when visiting hotel Doolin.
