    The room we had was rather small so worth checking that. The only 'downside' was the small ensuite with the shower water spilling out as shower curtain too short and lip too low. But it was one of the few places that had a place to put shampoo (provided of course).

    Derek, the host, was extremely welcoming, helpful, and organised. Everything provided was top quality (except see re shower) eg coffee machine, chocolates, linen, extra pillows, tissues etc. Appreciated the effort re signs (eg how to use coffee machine to make tea), typed suggestions of where to eat dinner etc. Breakfast was superb albeit too much to eat! Location was excellent, great views, lovely garden, parking on site.

    It is a lovely little B&B in Doolin. The owner and staff are very nice. They took care of a problem we had immediately. Also good breakfast and cosy interieur. We would stay here again. The location was really good for us, because of the pubs and bus station just down the street. If you are not good on your feet you may want to stay further down in the village, closer to the pier. Just be aware that the walls are a bit thin. We guessed so, because that is almost always the case when you got more rooms in one house. Brought ear plugs and slept like babies.

    There was nothing I didn't like. Loved our stay at Piper's Rest.

    We really liked our stay at Piper's Rest. Very clean room. I liked that it was light and bright. Nice staff. Excellent made to order breakfast. Location was good. A short walk to the two best pubs in the area. We loved both pubs, McGann's and McDermott's. Both played traditional Irish music and it was the highlight of our trip.

    The rooms were not sound proof. Could hear the person downstairs snoring. The shower water pressure and temperature fluctuated.

    Clean and comfortable, fantastic breakfast, and 2 minutes walk to Doolin’s best pubs for trad music.

    Location, host, breakfast and facilities all rate a 10. We were slightly out of the main Doolin village, which was perfect for us. Two local pubs within 5 minute walk; lots of cows and quiet! Short drive to Cliffs of Moher. On site parking.

    Everything was wonderful except we wish we had spent a few more days exploring the Doolin area.

    Loved the location within a one-minute walk to two wonderful restaurant/pubs which had great live Irish music during our visit. The B&B exceeded expectations with a great triple room and a made-to-order breakfast that was fantastic. Plenty of parking and only a few minutes from the ferry port to Aran Islands. Would highly recommend to anyone traveling to the area.

    We had a room with a view, which was wonderful, breakfast was the best & super friendly staff. Was the shortest walk to a pub with traditional musice we had ever experienced while away, so great location. Overall just great.
