I've read all the reviews, and all I can say is we enjoyed Frank. He has a quirky sense of humor (told us, with a huge smile, that we were late for breakfast, the sun was shining etc. etc.), but we showed up unexpectedly at his door, he gave us a choice of rooms, we slept great and the house...

This is my second stay at Doonmacfelim House, and surely won't be my last. Frank is a wonderful host, and tremendously well informed about the local area and sites. The B&B is quiet, very well located and has plenty of parking. Breakfast is made to order and ample enough to keep you from needing lunch. Plenty of hot water, fresh... More

My husband and I had the pleasure of a 6 night stay at Frank's place, Doonmacfelim, in Doolin. The room was comfortable and clean and if my husband had not insisted on opening the window it would have been adequately heated! Breakfast was tasty and satisfying and I think we tried all the breakfasts that Frank had to offer. I... More

After reading some other reviews I was a bit nervous about staying here. Frank asked us to phone once we were in Co Clare to let him know an apprx time of our arrival. Along the way we decided to see the Cliffs of Moher so we were later than what he would have expected so didn't know if we'd... More

Arrived in Doolin without a reservation, which is how we toured the majority of Ireland. Most of the village was closed for the season. Fortunately, Doonmacfelim House was open and had room availability. The rooms were chilly and we asked the owner Frank about the heat as we did not see an option to adjust the temperature in the room.... More

What a friendly and helpful host, arriving in a party of four we were made welcome from the word go. The atmosphere was relaxing and laid back, with no pressure. The location is brilliant for surrounding pubs and sights, plenty of car parking too. The ground floor room was clean and comfortable with ensuite bathroom and hospitality tray. There were... More

Our family group had all but one room on a recent trip. Most but not all had a private bath and there were a variety of bed combinations that ended up working for all of us. The breakfast was very good and Frank was quite accommodating. It is a short walk to both ends of Doolin which was handy in... More

Frank is an absolute joy and fantastic host. He helped carry our bags to our room and recommended a couple pubs for us to try. We had spent the day at the Cliffs of Moher. At breakfast, which was my first experience of a full Irish breakfast, which I discovered is way too much food for me, my mother decided... More
