My family spent two nights at the Aran View House during a stop in Doolin while on an extended vacation to Ireland. Our party included eight adults and my grandson. The self-catering accomodation we reserved was perfect for our party, clean, contained all the essentials and everyone was comfortable and had adequate room. The hotel staff was accomodating in every... more

This cozy hotel was a steal with the last minute Internet rate we received in the off-season. It feels like you are a guest in someone's manor home. Breakfast was great and staff were always helpful and friendly. On the downside, our room was a bit faded and very musty... luckily the weather was mild and we could keep the... more

What a view! From our room at the front of the hotel we could see the Aran Islands and the Cliffs of Moher. Our welcome was friendly, our room was comfortable and the location of the hotel close the the Cliffs of Moher, Doolin and The Burren was hard to beat. more

It was not located in main hotel but an annex to the rear which was obviously a stable in its former life. Smelled incredibly musty and damp, bathroom light... more

Our expectations: a clean room and bath; a drink or two with friendly folks; a very good evening meal with a glass or two of fine wine; an excellent night's rest; and a hearty breakfast before departing. For two nights in late May 2009, The Aran View House exceeded all of our expectations. The warm hospitality extended by the Linnane... more
