My husband and I made our 2nd journey to Ireland last week. Friends recommended that we spend some time in Doolin, known for traditional Irish music with nearby Cliffs of Moher and Aran Islands. I found the Aran View Hotel on a website and booked 2 nights there. We were not disappointed! Theresa and Sharon, the mother-daughter proprietors, were very... more

Our only real complaint was that the bed was pretty much a rock. Otherwise, the hotel was nice. The breakfast was generous and tasty. The views from the hotel were amazing. The hostess was very pleasant. Also, Doolin was a good place to stay because it is known for great traditional Irish music and you can take a boat ride... more

This is our 5th trip to Ireland and 3rd stay at Aran View. Caring family Proprietors keep their classic, old-country style operation with Clean Rooms, excellent Breakfast & Dinner Menus, nice walk to local Pubs & Restaurants, convenient drives from Dingle to Galway, and friendly Staff. The VIEW is a big plus... we always ask for a front room. The... more

We had booked in to the hotel via the internet based mainly on fairly good reviews from members of tripadvisor. We arrived on the 5th May 2009 and left on 7th May 2009. From the moment we arrived the Hotel owner was very friendly, but we had to ask to have our room changed as the initial room booked was... more

We should have known better and not stayed here given that the owner had not officially opened it for the season. However, the owner had agreed to allow us to stay in one of her "self-catered" apts. The front of the Hotel has a wonderful view of the Atlantic Ocean (the hotel sits up on a hill about a kilometer... more

My husband and I were fortunate enough to spend the last several nights of a two week trip to Ireland at the beautiful and gracious Aran View House Hotel. The Aran View was our “splurge” and it was well worth it. We had a beautiful room at the very top of the older part of the house with extraordinary views... more

Though I did not like some things about this hotel, overall it was perfect for a stay in Doolin. It was more the town that was not so amazing. However, the room did have some bizarre decorating and the beds were not the most comfortable. The bathroom was very nice and the breakfast was not bad. I would say that... more

Booked hotel for three nights, checked out after one nght. Room was musty, and cold,Television control did not work. The breakfast was appalling considering B&B was costing 80 euros. There was no fresh fruit :tinned grapefruit and tinned mandarin oranges. I ordered scrambled egg and smoked salmon from the menu and then i was informed that the smoked salmon was... more

My husband & I stayed here in July 2007. While it looks promising, we wished we'd stayed elsewhere. The hotel is old, the first room we had was terrible. It smelt old and musty, the tv didnt work and when we complained they told us they couldnt do anything about it. The bathroom was like a cupboard! We eventually requested... more
