A very cozy property with a personal feel. Excellent breakfast. Easy parking. Quick access to restaurants in Ballyvaughan. Walls are a little thing, but more than made up for by the views and the hospitality of the owners.

10/10 Exceptional

We had a wonderful two night stay. The staff could not have been friendlier or more helpful. We needed to leave early in order to catch the Doolin Ferry to the Aran Islands and they were extremely accommodating with breakfast, preparing a full meal early for us in order to give us enough time. The breakfast was excellent both days and the room was wonderful. Although, not connected, a shout-out to Mr. Kabobs in Ballyvaughn. We were looking for a meal that wasn't too large and went there---the kabobs were amazing and the service was extremely friendly.

Our family had a comfortable stay for 1 night. Enjoyed the breakfast as well in the morning. The gentleman at the reception was super nice and helped us with dinner recommendations as well. Only item that could be better is the WiFi, which was very spotty and extremely slow!

We loved our stay at Cappabhaile. The room was huge with tasteful traditional touches. A fun game room. The first time I didn’t wake up in pain for years. In other words great bed. A beautiful view of the cows chomping grass outside our window. The breakfast was excellent. It was delicious and filling. Five big 🌟’s from us!

10/10 Exceptional

Everything about this place was perfect. The owners were so amazingly kind and helpful. The breakfast was delicious. The rooms were large and well appointed. The sitting area was charming. Sitting area by the horse near the entrance was so welcoming and we enjoyed visiting with other travelers. We also enjoyed the game room and playing pool. The view out of our window was amazing looking over field of cows and natural beauty. The parking area was huge. The location seems so secluded, but it’s an easy walking distance to the village.
