Perfectly situated, great price and very clean owners so so friendly. The owner got up early the morning we were leaving and cooked us our beautiful breakfast and then drove us to the pier even though it was within a five minute walk. A true gent. Would definately recommend this to any one. More

We stayed at Clai Ban House at the end of Tourist season this year. The island was quiet, the tourists were few, and the weather, amazing. Clai Ban is up the hill from the harbor, on the "outskirts" of what is already a small village. It's a 5 minute walk up the hill, and to the yellow house that is... More

Clai Ban is a walk up from the harbor but the view is beautiful. The rooms were spotless and very nice. I checked in to Clai Ban but never had the chance to unpack. I was called back to the States due to a serious family emergency, and the owners were SO kind and helpful. They drove me down to... More

Lovely place, the owners were welcoming, beds were comfortable, the room was warm. Nice breakfast too. Its close to everything with a great pub just a couple of doors up. The shower is a little small so if you are of a larger frame it might not work for you but fine for most people. My only (minor) issue was... More

Clai Ban was just a name picked off the list of B&Bs on the Aran Island of Inish Mor. We selected it months before our trip and made an on-line reservation with no problem. Arriving on the Island from County Galway, I was amazed to see a vast lineup of pony carts, carriages, autos, vans and bikes greeting the ferry.... More

My boyfriend and I stayed at Clai Ban House during our Ireland-tour in August 2011. We were a bit disappointed. The B&B is only a five minute stroll from the harbour, which is definitely a plus. We were given only a shortspoken welcome (by owner's son) and shown to our room. The room was basic and clean, the bathroom would... More

Such a lovely spot on earth. If you are going to visit the Aran Islands, this B&B is breathtaking. It is tucked up in the hill overlooking the untouched side of the main island, and also overlooks the harbor on the upper floor. There are even horses in the front pasture to meet you. We also had the best Irish... More

We stayed in Clai Ban (“cly bon”) three nights, having reserved the room by email. We took the ferry-bus and ferry from Galway to Inishmore, and from the ferry we walked up through the town center and to the edge of town—ten minutes in all, and just five minutes from the town center itself, easily pulling our luggage on the...

We took advantage of the Aran Island Ferries' special which included RT transportation and one night in a B&B on Inishmore. One of the B&B's which is used for this promotion is Clai Ban and that's the B&B in which we were placed. Clai Ban is a 10-minute walk from the ferry. (Look for a big yellow house to the... More
