Great location and very friendly and helpfull staff. Everything in the room looked very, very old. The room was freezing so we had to ask for an extra duvet. Heating went on in the evening but very late so the only way to warm up before going out for dinner was to get into bed for a while. Bedroom door... More

We stayed with Carmel and Mattie at the Rainbow's End B&B in Doolin for 3 nights. Doolin is a great town I would encourage anyone visiting Ireland to check out. There are 4 awesome pubs in Doolin that all offer live music. The Rainbow's End is owned and hosted by Mattie and Carmel, who are terrific hosts. The house is... More

Advised by " Paddy " to check out the Rainbow Hostel. When we arrived we were greeted by a lovely woman named " Carmel ". Offered is... More

After stressing out because of no vacancies elsewhere, another BnB sent us to Carmel's house. It was great - the en suite room was very comfortable. Carmel was a very sweet. We only stayed one night and the pubs were within walking distance. The woodwork in the dining/living room as well as the bedrooms is amazing!

I just came back from a great weekend staying at the Rainbow's End B&B in Doolin with a friend. I had actually been to the B&B before and loved it so much that I had to return again. The owners, Mattie and Carmel are incredibly friendly and graciously welcome all guests into their home. They are experts on the area... More

I've been a frequent guest of the Rainbow Hostel next door to (and owned by the same people as) this B&B. So, while traveling with my mom this last summer, we stayed at the Rainbow's End B&B. What a pleasure! Everything about this B&B is great, but Mattie and Carmel Shannon really make it a home away from home. They're... More

We chose this B&B because we wanted to go to the Rainbow Hostel but they didn't provide breakfast so we settled for their B&B instead. And we were right! The breakfast was AMAZING. We had a wide choice of menus (yoghurt and fruit, scrambled eggs/bacon or irish breakfast) on top of the usual cereals/juice/toasts (scones, irish bread and regular toasts)... More

Carmen, the landlady, is very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was plentiful and good, so no need for a big lunch. The rooms were spacious and spotlessly clean. There was plenty of hot water for showers etc. We had a great time and would definitely return for more.

This was my second stay with Mattie, Carmel, and their family. This time I brought along 11 friends. Their place is always clean, and the owners are very accommodating. The beds are comfortable, and the en suite set up is very nice. The price is quite good, especially when you consider that there are two great pubs within walking (or... More

I was on my way to Inisheer for a music summer school and stayed the night at Rainbow's end. The room was clean comfortable and quiet, a welcome respite from buses and terminals. Carmel's breakfast was great, and she was kind enough to give a lift down to the pier to catch the "Happy Hooker" out to the island. To... More
