10/10 Excellent
"The Coastal View House was perfect for our one night stay. The property and room was very clean and had everything we needed. Beds were also very comfortable. Slept great! The property was very quiet and peaceful being a short drive outside of the village of Doolin. We did consider walking into Doolin but it was going to be about a 30 minute walk & we we all hungry! It was a very short drive (<5 minutes) back into Doolin and we enjoyed a nice dinner. Hosts were very communicative and provided some great information about the area, check-in and check-out were also very straight foward. There was plenty of parking on-site. A great stay! Would stay here again."

"My family and I were recently on a 10-day trip through Ireland. One of our stops was near Doolin in a quaint little town called Lisdoonvarna. We stayed only one night at the Rathbuan Hotel, but wish we could have stayed longer. The guest services were impeccable, and the staff was always available to help with any questions. The rooms were comfortable, and the location was perfect. We would definitely stay again!"
