The property is a bit dated but what makes it exceptional is the owner and staff who are so kind and welcoming. The breakfast is the best we have had in a week of traveling. Lisdoonvarna is a great location to use as a base.

Excellent personal service, spotlessly clean, great location for attractions - Tara's advice on heading to the Cliffs at sunset made our evening and freed up the following day to visit the Aran Islands. Saw so much more thanks to their advice and local knowledge. Great breakfast and wonderful service, really well looked after.

The Lovely Rathbaun Hotel

The Rathbaun felt like a home away from home. The hospitality was incredible and the bed was the most comfortable I slept in within two weeks of travel. Plus, they put typed out direction for areas such as the shower, which was most appreciated. The area was quiet and lovely, close to the cliffs of Moher. You should definitely stay here!
