Anthony & the team
Anthony Moloney was just nine years old when the sod was turned on this Doolin doozy. What was a hostel in 1986 has since evolved into a 31-bed country house he and his team run with tireless energy, creativity and commitment to their community. They understand the importance of innovation and reinvestment in hospitality, and during Covid was no different. They seized the opportunity to launch a new breakfast experience with a firm focus on local goodies — ‘Big Burren Breakfasts’ that see tiered trays full of treats replace pre-pandemic buffets (“We’ve got the best produce in the world,” Anthony says, “so why not use it?”). In a staffing crisis, their #LifeinDoolin recruitment campaign is another reason they fit into our Fab 50 — offering year-round wages, affordable housing with discounted rent, staff meals, training and career progression paths as they recruit the hospitality stars of the future.
The Burren is a place where nature has written its story in stone – a landscape that reminds us that even in the harshest conditions, beauty and life find a way. ~ Unknown

Local Experiences
Experience the Wild Atlantic Way
From traditional music and trail-walking to outdoor adventure sports and a cornucopia of culture – you’ve got it all right here in Doolin. Ours is a small West coast village with a mighty big heart – and from the moment you arrive and feel the fresh Atlantic breeze on your face, you’ll want to get out there and start discovering. Caving, cycling, surfing, hiking, horse-riding and so much more are all part of this special experience. We’re home to one of Ireland’s most famous signature points – the breathtaking Cliffs of Moher, The Burren and a gateway to the Aran Islands, for a taste of old Ireland at its most beautiful. Our guests can enjoy discounted rates on a selection of local activities and attractions that we are partnered with. Come & experience the Burren region.
Relax in Comfort
To ensure your stay with us is as relaxing as it is invigorating, we’ve thought of everything. While we offer hotel-standard rooms and facilities – from a dedicated reception team to a hearty big breakfast in the morning – we’re all about home-from-home comfort and hospitality with a generous heart.
Whether you’re enjoying the best night’s sleep in your spacious room, indulging in a fireside hot chocolate after a bracing Cliff-top walk, or blowing away the cobwebs horse-riding on stunning Fanore Beach – it’s all about letting go and relaxing into life.
Big Burren Breakfast
Traditional, flavoursome, wild and fresh. Natural, wholesome, comforting and oh-so delicious. These are the foods and flavours of the Burren – and they’re reflected in the food we put on your table at Doolin Inn.
Start your day with our signature Big Burren Breakfast, exclusively for our in-house guests. Enjoy a continental tiered breakfast tray, elegantly served at your table, showcasing a variety of freshly baked breads, warm fluffy scones, delicate pastries, fresh fruits, and homemade parfait pots. Complemented by fresh smoothies and a selection of teas or coffee, our breakfast prioritizes healthy, hearty, and local ingredients that will sustain you through your day of discovery. While you enjoy your continental breakfast, a cooked breakfast dish of your choice will be made to order. Choose from favorites like the Full Irish, Eggs Benedict, Blueberry Pancakes, or a satisfying Full Vegan Breakfast, to name a few.
Enjoy & Embrace Doolin Life
A stay with us is a license to truly enjoy your away-time… and there really is something for everyone, of all ages and interests. Whether you’re a couple looking for a romantic escape, a family in search of adventure, or you’re travelling solo – together Doolin Inn and our beautiful village and surrounds ticks all the boxes.
Set off on a local Heritage walkway… see the Cliffs from the sea on a Doolin ferry ride, enjoy the haunting beauty of the ancient Burren landscape – or simply experience a unique Irish Trad Session while savouring a pint of Guinness and bowl of fresh mussels at a local pub. Doolin life is made for enjoying.
