Customer Reviews


Eileen N. Ostlund 12 May 2024 Review Score: 10/10 My husband and I had a fantastic stay at Cappabhaile House. Our room was very spacious and comfortable. The location was perfect for exploring the Burren and taking the Doolin ferry to the Aran Islands. We thoroughly enjoyed the breakfasts - best porridge in Ireland! - and Margaret shared her technique for preparing it. It was difficult to choose among the options offered for breakfast and lovely to linger with a second cup of coffee or tea. The overall atmosphere was warm and friendly - Conor and Margaret provided good suggestions for the day's activities and helped arrange taxi service when we wanted to take a break from driving and have an adult beverage in town with dinner.
Sherri Holland 07 Sep 2023 Review Score: 9/10 This is a lovely little inn with well appointed rooms. I enjoyed all the wildlife photos down the halls and the special decor of the common areas. Our rooms were nice and spacious. There was a bit of confusion with our booking, but Conor figured it out and took great care of us. Loved the area and visiting the Burren!
Tom andTina 18 Jun 2023 Review Score: 9/10 the room was great, the food was great, and the hospitality was great. We got some great touring advice from Conor which really enhanced our exploring.
