Review 1:Great location, right in the middle of the village, central enought to walk everywhere. Fabulous views, great pubs, great food everywhere. Had a ball, can't wait to go back!

Review 2:Nothing

Review 3:Owner was lovely and very welcoming. She informed us of the best places to visit too. Very cosy room and location was perfect. It was a shame the seafood restaurant was closed but would be great to visit again in the summer!

Review 4:Lovely house and area, warm and cosy. Quiet. Nice countryside view from the breakfast room. A pity we didn't have a chance to try the restaurant, definitely next time!

Review 5:Nothing - excellent ! We have stayed there before and brought our whole family there this time. Will recommend to extended family when they visit Ireland

Review 6:Cullinans is a beautifully run Bed and Breakfast located ideally in the lovely town of Doolin on a small babbling river.. Room is clean and modern and breakfast was outstanding. Owners were very friendly and accommodating. Will stay definitely there again on our next visit to the West Coast.

Review 7:If you are in Doolin to listen to music, there is no place better to stay. Great breakfast. A top rated restaurant. Room in upper left corner had a lovely view of a stone bridge over a trout stream and the green fields beyond. Carol did everything she could to make our stay as pleasant as possible.

Review 8:Cannot fault this place

Review 9:The owner and staff were very friendly and accommodating. We had to change our date to stay there as we missed the ferry to Inis Mor. The owner was very understanding.The breakfast was varied and delicious! The double room was immaculate and it was quiet and peaceful. I would definitely recommend staying here :-)

Review 10:In the 2 weeks touring Ireland this was the best, tastiest, most interesting breakfast that we had. The dining room was delightful & the 2 sitting rooms most agreeable.

Review 11:We found this place to very clean, and well apportioned. The shower was excellent, good water pressure and plenty of hot water. View from our room,(9), overlooking the stream was great!!! parking was a plus, easy walking distance to the local pubs. The staff, Carol and her Son, were excellent, paying attention to details and very helpful with information about the local area. Breakfast was excellent.

Review 12:Over-firm foam pillows!

Review 13:Convenient, quiet, and comfortable one-night stopover on Wild Atlanta Way drive. Heard great things about Cullinan''s restaurant which was unfortunately closed during our stay. Excellent breakfast though at Cullinan's and some good sightseeing advice from Carol, one of the owners.

Review 14:Enjoyed everything about our stay in Doolin. Fabulous food and our hostess Carol made us very welcome and even went to the trouble of organizing my husband's favourite dessert for him

Review 15:The Rooms were just wonderful we had room 10 with the river/stream view and the restaurant is superb - James and Carol run a wonderful establishment

Review 16:Plenty of Choice at breakfast with homemade scones, bread , delightful. Best shower we have ever had when travelling. Lovely room with the river and birds to look at.

Review 19:Very squeeky bed! Every turn we made at night woke us up!

Review 20:Friendly staff. Gorgeous room for price. Hotel standard. Beautiful view from room. Amazing location for the wedding we attended in Hotel Doolin - literally 40 seconds to hotel! Gorgeous clean room and en suite. Lovely breakfast.

Review 21:Location in the village of Doolin. Walk to Fitz's, lovely breakfast, comfortable room, scenic surroundings and most of all the owners. Carol was the impeccable host with warming hospitality and knowledge of the area.

Review 22:Carol was the perfect host, the breakfast was definately worth getting up for, even though it was extremely hard to leave our fabulous room. We would recommend this B&B to everyone visiting Doolin. First class.

Review 23:Carol made us feel like home!! Very welcoming and breakfast the next morning was fabulous!! Loved the villiage. Highly recommend Cullinans. Will be back again!!

Review 24:The hallmark of the Irish B&B is its warmth of character and ability to deliver a professional and authentic experience. This is no mean feat; and Carol, James and young Tomas do it effortlessly. Thank you so much for impressing our visitors and making me proud of our industry.

Review 25:Would have loved a room with a bath as I'm not a lover of showers my fault I should have requested this !!!

Review 26:Great location fabulous service excellent breakfast

Review 27:Beautiful location. Lovely village. Carol was so accommodating. Room was beautiful and very comfortable, also spotless. Great price and loads to see and do near by. Couldn't fault anything.

Review 28:The en-suite bathroom was a bit small, and overall the room could use updating, but these are minor gripes. Doolin is a smaller town than I realized when planning the trip. The attached seafood restaurant had closed for the season, but this was expected. Still a great stop!

Review 29:The host personally wrote an email a month out to confirm our reservation and establish a line of communication (the only one of four B&Bs at which we stayed to go to the trouble). The breakfast room and breakfast were wonderful, with beautiful views of a stream and stone bridge. Nearby pub (McGann's) was the best food we had in Ireland. Terrific scenery, and a perfect base for exploring the Wild Atlantic Way.

Review 30:The place was very nice and cosy, the owners were so helpful and kind. The part around the house was very beautiful and romantic, breakfast was excellent, and the house was nearby the pub and the bus stop. I would love to return.

Review 31:The location was good to do daily sightseeing "run-outs". The rooms were large, clean and comfortable. Good choice and quality of breakfast items. The staff was very helpful an accommodating. I would definitely return - especially to try the restaurant when it is open.

Review 32:Hosts were amazing, location perfect, and the food was the best we have had at a bed and breakfast yet. The room was cozy yet spacious and the views lovely. It was quiet at night and in the morning we had breakfast in a very nice dining room with windows all around. Highly recommend!!

Review 33:Our stay was fantastic, the lady of the house was so friendly. The room was clean and tidy with a modern feel to it. Eating facilities were a delight over looking a nice garden with view of the water. Food was very nice. All in all it was a top class location and cullinanes were top class hosts

Review 34:Carol's welcome! the open, fresh atmosphere perfect location beside the river and a lovely view of the area..picture perfect The Cullinans are master musicians! the artwork breakfasts delicious extremely helpful with queries

Review 35:Very little choice on early bird menu. Portion size very small. No veg just small potion of potatoe. Not good for the price charged. We were hungery a short while after meal. Had to buy soup and bread in local pub.

Review 36:Location. Breakfast. Room was comfortable with a lovely view of river. Make up mirror was very good.

Review 37:We enjoyed our stay so much we extended to a second night. Great hospitality,beautiful comfortable room with good shower & a corner bath. The breakfasts were to die for. Beautiful omelettes, eggs benedict, homemade warm treacle bread at breakfast. Also had an excellent dinner there as well with local salmon. Good location for touring Co Clare. Parking on site. Enjoyed everything about our stay

Review 38:Our room was street facing, a bit noisy when the pub across the road closed.

Review 39:Excellent location, easy access to surrounding towns and the Cliffs of Moher. Our room was spotless, the beds comfortable. Breakfast was delightful. The grounds surrounding were gorgeous. We wished we could stay longer!

Review 40:A beautiful, peaceful setting right in the heart of Doolin. Carol, our innkeeper was wonderful. We had a delicious, gourmet dinner and an equally wonderful breakfast in the restaurant. Live Irish music is available just across the street at the pub. Wish we had planned two nights here! Next time!

Review 44:Our room was facing a small stream in the back of the building which was very peaceful. The breakfast was very good and the hostess was friendly.

Review 45:This bed and breakfast had a comfortable room in a great location overlooking a stream of beautiful clear water. Range of shops opposite, including an information centre and a great pub with Irish music being played live.

Review 46:Cullinan's is exactly what we were looking for. Relaxing, comfortable room and wonderful food. It was a nice stroll to anywhere we wanted to go in town.

Review 47:Our host, Carol, was incredibly gracious and made her home an incredibly warm and welcoming place to come back to after our travels. She greeted us as if we were her own family visiting, showed us to our room, and gave us tips on the best place to see the sunset. She showed us where breakfast would be in the morning, and even recommended that we come in a bit before the morning rush so that we could enjoy the best breakfast possible (and the Irish breakfast was delectable- I will dream of the cinnamon infused prunes). This was our favorite stay in our trip around all of Ireland. I would come back and recommend it to all my friends and family.
