Very friendly and welcoming couple. Spotless, comfortable room. Breakfast was perfect- sausages cooked exactly the way Mom used to do it. Good location- close to town, but not too close
In tranquil, rural surroundings just a 5 minute walk from Lisdoonvarna, Greenlawn House features modern rooms with free Wi-Fi, free parking, and full Irish breakfasts.

A very modern and comfortable place with a lovely garden, nice rooms and a good breakfast. Very knowledgeable staff if you have questions about the area. We went to the Roadside Tavern based on the brochure in the room and were not disappointed. Only a short walk away with food well beyond typical pub fare and their own craft beers.
Located in the heart of Doolin and established in 2019, Fiddle + Bow Hotel is a boutique hotel with a range of room options. We will be your home away from home.

The ladies at the front desk were so very accommodating and very friendly.
The food in the hotel’s restaurant was unbelievable delicious. Our waiter had recommended a couple of his favorite dishes. We were blown away as to how good the food was. Thank you for a great experience.

The breakfast was beyond my expectations. Lots of choices, hearty and delicious. Plus, the staff was so friendly and attentive. Super nice way to start the day.

We would have stayed in Doolin if we would have known there wasn’t traditional music as advertised at our hotel. It was the whole reason we stayed there and the music was in Doolin, not Lisdoonvarna.
The tourist economy is extremely competitive. Tourists want to see quaint and experience attractions in the short time they are traveling through a community. It’s expensive for a city to provide those kinds of things that demanding travelers want. Perhaps a regional travel organization can increase collaboration among communities to set the stage for regional success, not just success for Doolin.

Did not explore Lisdoonvarna itself too much but it would have been worth a day or two, just too much other stuff pre-planned. Was a great base to the Burren, Doolin, Cliffs of Mohr, Aran islands ferry.

Live music at the Ritz, however all the large hotels were shut to the public as they were being used to house refugees. Absolutely no problem with that use but they surly could allow the public access to the restaurants coffee shops etc as without this there were only limited facility in the town.

Considering that it is a tourist destination, it is quiet shabby I thought. The town coucil (like many others in Clare) should consider a factfinding trip to the likes of Westport to see how a tourist town SHOULD look like.
The "What would you recommend Lisdoonervarna for" sectoin is challenging "Its central position in North West Clare and the roads out of it" was not an option..

We went for the festival which we went to every year before Covid and I am sorry to say it was not as it usually is. All of the hotels were closed which was a major disappointment. Thankfully the Ritz still serves great food but the Matchmaker bar which is usually excellent was closed along with a lot more.
I am afraid we will not be going back and this saddens me as the festival was usually hopping.

We loved Lisdoonvarna.
We loved Lisdoonvarna. The town is small but lively and we really enjoyed the Ritz House Hotel. First, they were very kind, with free Wi-Fi available in the bar. We had an excellent dinner there, with great food, service and atmosphere. We wished we had booked to stay there!
We used the trip as a point for visiting the Aran Islands from nearby Doolin. This worked very well and we had a wonderful day out there, in the care of Doolin Ferries.
Lovely, welcoming folks and a cozy room with everything I needed. Great shower with good water pressure and plenty of space to move around in without banging my elbows. (Not so in some other B&Bs I can afford.) They let me refrigerate a couple of things that I'm traveling with, in their kitchen, and the breakfast was delicious. I will definitely return.
Also, it was only 15 minutes to Doolin and the Cliffs of Moher, but right there at the edge of Lisdoonvarna where I went for a bit of craic at the matchmaking festival this week.
The Rathbaun was in the center of the small town of Lisdoonvarna was a great place from which to explore the Burren. The owner and her daughter were helpful and friendly. The breakfast was made to order and plentiful. The owner alerted us that the nearby pub they recommended for dinner was nearly fully booked and let them know we were coming. When we learned that there was not going to be live music at the Rathbaun they helped us find another place with music nearby.
Hotel was basic but spotless, the beds were so comfortable! We had breakfast one morning and it was DEVINE! The best breakfast we’ve had in a hotel in a long time…the rooms are a little bit dark but we were honestly shocked that this hotel only has a two star rating! The staff are very friendly and helpful, a very homely feel in the hotel. Television is the room was small but not a big deal, we were pleasantly surprised by this hotel.
Nellie was the best host we stayed with along the way. We were behind schedule on our itinerary and running late for check in, she told us “sure do it all while you’re there, I’ll be here, there’s no rush”. Such a lovely woman, we had a great conversation with her over a couple of pints. Breakfast in the morning was the best Irish breakfast we had on our travels! Great location in the heart of Lisdoonvarna.
The property was incredible and the room was huge, clean and very comfortable, but first of all we loved the kindness of the host Patricia who was ready to welcome us in the best way and to help us with all our needs. The best stay here in Ireland!! Super recomended!
Breakfast was from heaven. The bed was the best I’ve ever slept on, and the biggest they provided during my stay in Ireland. The host lady was really helpful and extremely nice, she provided many tips to visit different cliffs. I’d love to live there forever.
We've slept in three different B&B in one week (family road trip) and Elements B&B really exceeded our expectations, and also competition ! It feels like a 4 star hotel ! Keith & Christina are lovely people, rooms are so comfy, and the breakfast is magical.
We were warmly welcomed, even though we were from Tipperary😁 This was a lovely family run hotel with lovely food and very friendly staff. We were well looked after and had great chats with the boss...we also spoke with her mother😁
The breakfast was excellent with lots of choices to suit different tastes.
Staff were warm friendly and very helpful and willing to provide information and advice on how best to enjoy the Co Clare experience.
This hotel was in an excellent location for getting to the Cliffs of Moher and Doolin, which is what we wanted to do. Staff were super friendly and attentive. Miaread was an absolutely amazing hostess.
The food was excellent. the hotel is located in the centre of the town.
The staff and management are very friendly and helpful.
Highly recommended hotel in Lisdoonvarna.
Very clean and comfortable.
The location was fantastic, a perfect Irish countryside setting. It was the best breakfast we’ve ever had at a B&B. The room was comfortable and very clean. The host were quite welcoming.
everything about it is as close to perfect as it gets (even when the weather doesn’t cooperate), thanks for a wonderful stay in a beautiful place, and breakfast was just the best ever!
Nice clean & comfortable room, nice owners & close to the town of Lisdoonvarna. It was convenient for our visit to Inishmor one day and the Burren the next day.
