Inns in County Clare

"Beautiful bed and breakfast. Hosts were very kind and accommodating. Excellent breakfast. "

"Really cool hotel with a huge pool for the kids. There is a pub about 100 yards away that has INCREDIBLE food. It’s called the corner cafe or something like that. It’s sooo delicious and have Irish musicians playing. Definitely go there for dinner "

"I was extremely grateful for the service given to me at the hotel. I most appreciated the resteraunt for helping me put together a catering order for up to 11 people. The food was delicious and enjoyed by all. A big shout out to receptionists who made our accommodations so comfortable. "

"The hotel is beautiful and the grounds have a castle that they encourage you to explore. The bar was nice, and the bartender was very helpful. Our room was a LONG way from the front desk and you can't access it from the outside. We had a small child, but the kid zone they advertise is only open for a few hours 2 days a week. Likewise, there are limited hours for children to use the pool and a dozen rules to follow in the pool area. "

"My wife and I have been traveling across Scotland and Ireland, staying in a mix of high-end and boutique hotels. The Rathbaun Hotel was by far the warmest and most welcoming of them all. While the building is a bit older, it’s incredibly well maintained — everything was clean, solid, and cared for. Even the bathroom silicone joints were spotless, which says a lot about the attention to detail. We stayed at far more “modern” hotels that looked nice from afar but were worn and dirty up close. Not here. The staff were the true highlight. We arrived late around 10 PM, and an older gentleman came out to the street, saying they were worried and waiting for us. While I parked the car, he carried two 55lb suitcase's upstairs — an act of kindness I won’t forget. The woman working downstairs was equally lovely, funny, and full of local recommendations that really made our trip special. And I have to mention the bed sheets — unbelievably soft, better than any we had at pricier hotels. If you’re all about trendy looks, this may not be your place. But if you care about genuine hospitality, cleanliness, and a great night’s sleep, this hotel is a hidden gem. Highly recommended."

"Loves my stay."

"We loved the location and the staff was super friendly and helpful. If we are in the area again, we will definitely stay here!! "

"This small but charming property had an excellent restaurant and bar. Service for the hotel as well as the dining was exceptional."

"Location was convenient to shopping and food. Breakfast was phenomenal. I’m still thinking about it two weeks later. Walk ti the ferry was beautiful. Public transportation available to this very rural area. Highly recommend! The highlight of our trip to Ireland. "
