Doolin hotels and guest houses have in the last 10 years needed to raise their standards to remain competitive with the big hotel chains which are now so common in the Irish hotel sector. The independent hotels chosen here provide some of the most pleasant in Doolin Ireland with top class rooms, friendly service and stunning views.
A short walk from town sits the contemporary designed Tir Gan Ean Hotel. Popular with the young, and young at heart, this 4-star hotel has a boutique feel to it combined with every creature that you may be surprised to find in such a rural Irish locations.
Each of the 12 large airy rooms has plasma TVs, contemporary furniture, under-floor heating, air-conditioning and modern en-suites. The modern ambiance is nicely complemented by the use of Celtic furnishings and architecture in public areas. And the range of hearty hot & cold breakfast options mix modern healthy options with the more traditional full Irish breakfast.
The 3-star Aran View House Hotel is a 1km walk from Doolin and the big benefit of its hilltop location is its spectacular sea views out to the Aran Islands and Atlantic Ocean. It is a more traditional country manor style hotel, in its build and its decor, but refurbishment of the guest-rooms has upped the quality of en-suites while retaining the hotels comfortable & cozy charm.
Guests and non-residents are also drawn in by the family-friendly hotel bar with its panoramic sea views and Irish music sessions (in high season).
Finally, staying within a short walk of Doolin village itself the 4-star Ballyvara House Hotel manages to combine its rural setting (within an acre of countryside) with a clean modern hotel. Inside there is a mix of twin, double, luxury suites, quads, family and studio rooms. This eclectic mix caters for all group sizes and types with satellite TV and modern en-suites throughout. The luxury suites have a Jacuzzi bath and king size sleigh bed while the 2 studio apartment come with their own kitchen (ideal for self catering breaks).
