This was an amazing venue for the wedding. It's also good for high tea and their spa services. Yes…read moreI am an American I will gush that they had AC in the hotel room because it was warm for Ireland and people were melting. They have complimentary breakfast in the mornings so huge bonus! There is a large bar which hosts the breakfast but is also good for a pint in the evening. The staff was super friendly and brought up additional chairs when we hosted some of our fellow wedding guests on our balcony.

We stayed here for 2 nights. It is a good distance from the airport we flew into. I think it was…read moreover 3hrs drive, but we set up a car service with the hotel for pickup at the airport. It's a nice location with lots of parking, there is a restaurant inside and within walking distance of restaurants and bars. There is also a spa, but it's limited and not a lot available. The hotel is clean and nice inside, and the staff is very helpful with suggestions of what is nearby. They also provide a map; the elevators are very slow, and the room is good and clean, but the hallway had a weird smell the entire time. The bed was okay, but the pillows were thin, and we didn't spend much time in the room so that didn't bother us. We had the window open during our stay, and it was nice outside the entire time. The bathroom was small, and the towels were very small and thin. But for the location, it's worth it.

It's like someone ticked off all the boxes for what should be in a modern comfort hotel, without…read morethinking through any of the basic things required to make guests comfortable. The room is laid out like a funky minimalist loft, but the furniture is rickety and cheap (like Ikea, but worse--the desk wasn't even useable). There is a modern wet room for the bathroom and shower, but no shelves or counter space to put your towels on so they don't get wet (not even a toilet lid--i had to hang mine on the sink). None of the basic hotel amenities are offered: no water bottles, no wash rags, not even a tissue box (really irritating having to run into the wet bathroom for toilet paper every time I needed to wipe my nose). The entire place reminds me of a middle-aged divorced man's apartment, and I expect better for €103 euro a night. This is the most expensive place I've stayed on my trip, and also the worst. Moreover, the service is terrible. The first time the room was cleaned, the housekeeper left the skylight window open, and my friend's bed and clothes got rained on. The desk person replaced the bedding, but never brought in a replacement rug or bed sash, leaving the room even more bare than it was before. On the third night, there was cigarette smoke wafting into our room from the hallway. When we called the front desk to complain (and then the bar, because no one was at the desk), the man explained that there is a designated smoking area inside the hotel on our floor, and that there was nothing he could do. It turns out the smoking area was on an outside veranda one floor below ours (so definitely not the source of the smoke), but no one had even come to investigate our complaint, much less try to mitigate it in any way. When we complained about it the next morning, there were two women at the front desk. One rolled her eyes and walked away, and the other offered us a 10% discount off our bill, saying she couldn't do more, because she wasn't the manager (I think the manager was the one who rolled her eyes and left). We had paid for breakfast to be included with our stay, and it was underwhelming at best. At worst, it is the worst service I've had since arriving in the republic of Ireland. The cereal selection is minimal, and the quality of the breakfast food is poor. The milk for tea is left on the table with no lid covering it, so most of the pitchers have hair and other things floating in them. And if you're traveling with a group of only women (as I was), be prepared to wait for all of the men in the dining room (including the ones who came in after you) to be served their tea and breakfast order before anyone even asks for your breakfast order, or even brings your toast. That was my experience for two mornings, anyway (the last morning I was fortunate enough for no one else to come in behind me). Do not excuse this as a cultural thing. First of all, this didn't happen anywhere else we went. Second of all, we are not guests at someone's house, where the host may decide who is served first. We are at a place of business, where everyone's money is the same. And this is NOT OKAY. Not at all. The hotel's website and the front desk person we spoke to as we were checking out described the Coach House as "quaint". I do not believe they know what that word means. Quaint means "attractively unusual or old fashioned". It does not mean sacrificing comfort and basic amenities in a faux-modern hotel with poor service. Also, don't be fooled by the pictures of the hotel lobby on the website--those are actually pictures of the Basilico restaurant next door. The hotel itself doesn't have a lobby, just an oversize desk crammed into the little cubby of space at the bottom of the stairs. The Basilico, on the other hand, is actually pretty nice. It's too bad they are affiliated with such an awful hotel.

What an amazing value. It's deceptive on the outside - much of the building is a storefront and…read morethat's where they get most of their revenue I imagine - but inside is spacious. And with relatively few rooms to take up the expansive second floor, you will benefit. My room could have fit 6 money-saving people or comfortably a family of 3-4. It opened out onto the shared second floor deck, which had an upper tier with a picnic table for nice weather. Or go try doors and squat in other people's rooms. Kidding... The Irish breakfast was amazing. I had it with everything, and the puddings were out of this world. Bacon was fresh, sausages were like nothing in the States - truly an unforgettable meal after a great night's stay. This one hotel, all by itself, makes me want to come back to Ireland.

Wow! This place is just what we imagined when planning our trip to Ireland.

From the small back deck you can look over this town all the way to the high cliffs that drop into the ocean, creating picturesque views of the orange, red and pink sunset. We arrived to a small sign personally welcoming us. Niall and Darra treated us like family while we stayed at their house and even dined at their table. They were personally acquainted with the entire area and gave us honest recommendations for spending our days there. We were able to see the Cliffs without crowds because of their directions. We then had the perfect dinner of local food at Roadford House where we walked along stonewalls past cows, horses, and sheep to the intimate dining room overlooking pastures. We ended the night by enjoying local music at O'Connor's Pub just a minute walk from the Sea View. We would highly recommend staying at the Sea View for at least a few nights on your trip to Ireland. Thanks again Darra and Niall, Ryan and Cristina

My stay at the Sea View House in Doolin far exceeded my expectations. The entire house was…read moredecorated very lovingly, with family pictures in many of the common rooms. The guest rooms were immaculate and very spacious. We even had a view of the ocean from our room, true to name. :) The B&B is located just above the main street of Doolin, very close to Gus O'Connors. The guest lounge had a few books on history of the area. There were a few bottles of wine available for purchase on the honor system, which was a nice touch if you wanted to take it along on an evening stroll along the beach. Breakfast was absolutely delicious, with most of the ingredients coming out of the kitchen garden. My hubby even had a choice of duck or chicken eggs from the family's own birds!

We had a great stay and would definitely stay here again. NOTE: this review is for the hotel itself and NOT the pub! We loved the hotel but the pub was, by FAR, the worst we have encountered since our arrival in Ireland. The food was dry, the servers were rude and/or ignored us completely, and there was no music as promised. We ate there for lunch and it was great people watching because the place was packed with locals but everything else was ... disappointing. Then we came back later for music as suggested by the front desk, and we were ignored while standing at the bar, sitting at the bar, and hovering around the door. It was real "we know you are trying to be polite but we are not meeting your eyes so please get out" energy. Maybe we did something "wrong" I don't know, but it was still very strange. But the hotel is great and there are plenty of pubs a stone's throw from the front door.

Nice modern hotel, about 5-10 minute stroll from the ferry dock. The hotel has nice rooms with…read morestandard fixtures, and moderate bedding, and a nice/large bath. There are 20+ rooms and some have balconies. Most rates come with breakfast which they serve continental early 7am-9am, and full Irish breakfast begins later at 9AM. The hotel restaurant and bar on premise are quite good. It's a short/easy 5 min walk from the hotel to the center of town. They contract with local tour guides to pick you up if you wish to take an island tour. The front desk is pretty strict about check-in and didn't let us check in before 3PM even though we were on the 10:30AM ferry that got in around 11:30AM, but they do let you store your luggage behind the front desk. P.S. They tend to have a lot of weddings at this hotel as there are banquet tents, so be prepared for potential parties (bachelor or bachelorette) on certain weekends.

I wish I had known it would take me so long to write the review because I would have written down what we had.
