    How wonderful person Bernadette, the owner, is!! She serves delicious breakfasts, my son had an additional request for his breakfasts and he got without any problem. Also, she offered help with our dog (he was with us) while we on shop or some trip. Beautiful views and location-3 mns driving by car to reach Cliffs! I highly recommend this place and definitely back on summer time.

    Rambler's Rest -- a MasterClass in hospitality
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • Twin Room with Sea View
    • Stayed 3 nights

    Rambler's Rest is a few miles outside the village of Doolin so our rental car was handy. Most of the sights are short drives through the Clare countryside so, unless you sign up for a tour, a car is highly recommended (the cheapest gas we found was in Kilfenora). Our only regret is that we are not there now.

    The Ramblers Rest was, without doubt, our favorite lodging during weeks of travel through Ireland. The hostess, Bernadette, could teach a MasterClass in Hospitality! She was warm, friendly and went out of her way to accommodate her guests and make all feel welcome. Her generous Irish breakfasts were delicious and made to order. When the rain dampened our explorations one afternoon, we made ourselves cozy in the common room and enjoyed the spectacular views of the Atlantic Ocean and Aran Islands, while reading, writing, and sipping complimentary beverages. The setting and surroundings are fantastic. We visited the Aran Islands sailing from the nearby Doolin Ferry dock, and explored the Neolithic ruins in the limestone landscape of the Burren. Doolin is the epicenter of traditional Irish music and we enjoyed hearing incredible music in the village pubs each night - McGann's Pub was our favorite. Finally, the spectacular Cliffs of Moher are only a few minutes drive from the B&B but we also walked to the O'Briens Tower viewpoint from the B&B in about half an hour.

    Located right near the cliffs of Moher and not far from the Burren, this is a perfectly situated B&B for Wild Atlantic travelers. Bernadette is the absolute best host anyone could hope for on a visit to Ireland. We were checked in quickly and offered a time-appropriate beverage. The breakfasts we had were delicious and plentiful. The rooms were perfect, with ours facing the sea. Would stay longer if we’d planned for it!

    From the breakfast room you look across a field to the ocean and the Aran Islands. Or, you can sit in a comfy chair and enjoy the view with a cup of tea. You are warmly welcomed and made to feel at home here.The Cliffs of Moher, the ferry to the Aran Islands, and the pubs in Doolin are all just a short drive away. The room was comfortable and clean, breakfast was delicious and generous, and Bernadette was a lovely host. We loved our stay there!
