Daly’s House 

Special introduction

You won’t believe how long Daly’s House has been running ! I was surprised to learn that this amazing B&B was started in 1984 by Susan and her husband Paul. Over the past thirty years, Daly’s House has grown from three bedrooms to six luxurious rooms, each with spectacular views. They also have some awards under their belt. As part of the expansion, Kate, Susan’s daughter, joined her in running the B&B. They both can’t wait to welcome you to Daly’s House.

Hospitality 

When I step into the B&B , I felt their warm hospitality. It’s hard to find a more inviting place to stay, eat, and relax. Their garden is one of my favorite spots—perfect for chatting and enjoying the views, surrounded by beautiful flowers and the company of visiting birds throughout the seasons. Husan and her family even joined us, sharing stories of Doolin and insider tips. Husan shared her sheet with the recommended tours of the Burren, and together, we felt like part of the family. 

Accommodation and Service

This B&B features six individually designed bedrooms, each offering a high standard of comfort and style. Room options include  queen,super-king,  double, and single orthopedic beds. All rooms are en-suite and equipped with modern amenities such as:

– Free Wi-Fi throughout the house

– High-quality bed linen and towels

– Hairdryer and complimentary toiletries

– Flat-screen TV

Breakfast

Husan’s cooking is simply wonderful. You can begin with a buffet, offering homemade granola shots, fresh fruit salad, a selection of cheeses, and much more. Then, sit back, relax, and soak in the tranquil atmosphere and garden views as they prepare one of the delicious made-to-order dishes for you, whether it’s a Full Irish Breakfast, French Toast, Omelettes, or something else from our menu. I loved the blue cheese omelet.

Overall, with the comfortable rooms, exceptional hospitality, and prime location, Daly’s House serves as an ideal retreat for anyone looking to explore the natural beauty and cultural richness of County Clare. I would love to revisit the place.

Location and Surroundings

You don’t need to worry about the location too. Daly’s House provides easy access to some of Ireland’s most iconic attractions. The Cliffs of Moher are just 7.3 kilometers away, while Doolin Cave is a short 5-kilometer drive. You can also explore the nearby Burren National Park and take ferry trips to the Aran Islands. And the mornings are just as delightful.

The B&B’s peaceful countryside location guarantees a restful night’s sleep, with the sounds of the sea and countryside as your backdrop.

Hospitality 

As soon as I reached the B&B, I found  House and Marian ready with their hospitality. They were very responsive before we arrived, made us feel welcome the moment we walked in the door, helped us secure dinner and music reservations, and offered up ideas of what to do in and around town. They have an Old English Sheepcat named Bertie, who is quite playful.

Perfectly cooked and beautifully presented.

Service and Accommodation  

I am assuring you about the quality of sleep. Their rooms were so nicely managed, from the walls to the pillows, everything was perfect. You have some options, from super king deluxe to twin and family rooms, all designed with a calm and restful color scheme.

Hospitality 

You can already tell how much attention Mariam gives to details.  She is attentive and friendly and yet not overly so, she was on hand to make us feel welcome and to ensure that our visit to her home and to Doolin was as enjoyable as possible.
