The room was very large and could possibly use another small table or chair for guests to use?

The location was close to town and well placed for our onward journey. Clare View is like stepping back in time and reflects the charm of B&B’s of a past era. Denis is an attentive and amusing host.

It would have been nice to have a kettle in the room to make our own tea, although Denis makes it for you if you want it.

The house is owned by Denis who rents out a room, Denis is an interesting man, he was born in Sydney which gave us the Aussie link. The room is big and comfortable and the bathroom has a heated floor which is handy in Ireland. You get full use of a bathroom and a continental breakfast. It was a good overnight stay after doing the Cliffs of Moher on our way to Limerick and allowed us to do Doolin Caves before we head off.

Garden unkempt Door into our room could not be secured. Faulty locks. Host was reluctant to offer breakfast early ie: 8:00am Advertised as private bathroom. However bathroom was separate. Located in separate room ie: Had to leave bedroom to go to bathroom. It was sole use though.

Good location. Interesting host Received good advice/tips regarding local events places to visit etc.

Location is not easy to find, especially in dark. Table/desk in the room would have been nice.

Spacious room, comfortable, warm bathroom. Simple, but plentiful breakfast with brown soda bread, fruit etc.

I really enjoyed our stay at Clare View B&B run by Denis, a very hospitable and informative host. The bedroom was warm and comfortable and I was especially impressed with bathroom underfloor heating. The location is just outside Ennistymon with beautiful scenic views out to Lahinch Beach and Clare coastline. Also found a new scenic back road to Lahinch as a result!

Breakfast was a bit disappointing consisting of tea, glass of orange juice and 2 slices of soda bread

HUGE room in a beautiful location. Host Dennis was a pleasant and amiable person.

Nothing on particular

A host who was friendly, who liked to chat and was full of information. A good continental breakfast. Spacious, comfortable room. Very good value for money.

The bathroom is out of the room, it is right the next door, but one should come out on the stairs plan to enter in the bathroom.

I had liked the silencie natural environment of the house and the big dimensión of the room with its natural wood floor and the queen size of the bed. Also the parking place is right in front of the entrance door.

We stayed very well. Denis is a very kind host, serves you nice tea, has lots of interesting stories to tell and great music knowledge and taste. He really welcomed us in his home. He was accomodating with the check in check out times. The room was big and clean. Would happily come back.

There was nothing we didn’t like!

The host helped us in many ways. He provided a fan on an unseasonably warm day. He gave an excellent recommendation for lunch and taxi service.

Everything was great.

We had a wonderful stay at Clare House. The room was large, very clean, and cozy, with gorgeous views of the surrounding countryside when you're outside. It's a perfect base for exploring the Cliffs of Moher, Ennistymon, and the nearby coastal villages—all just a short, scenic drive away. Guests should know this is a room in a private home, shared with a kind older gentleman who lives on-site. (He has all the knowledge you need to make your stay in the area absolutely phenomenal.) The bathroom is private and located in the hallway. Breakfast is light—a small, simple offering prepared in the morning, which worked well for us before heading out. The peaceful setting, the warm welcome, and yes, even the quiet presence of a couple of donkeys (Cindy and Daisy) nearby made it a charming and restful experience. No guarantee they'll be there as he's just boarding them for a friend for a while, but they were so affectionate and cute. P.S. Be sure to step outside and take in the views—absolutely breathtaking. You can feel the Atlantic winds sweeping the fog across the hills, shifting the landscape by the minute. It’s something you won’t forget.

Dennis was a lovely gentleman cup of tea on arrival and the chat and great location had the best sleep in the big bed spacious room and beautiful bathroom with underground heating

Location, just over a mile outside the town in the beautiful countryside. A spacious bedroom and bathroom and comfy bed. The host Denis, a true gentleman couldn't be more accommodating, ordered taxi and served us a lovely continental breakfast at 10.30am whilst entertaining us with stories of his travels. Would highly recommend it.

Unfortunately we didn't feel comfortable to stay. I'm sure Denis is a nice person but is possibly not set up very well to run a b&b. The room was very basic and there was no way to get a drink without being in his personal space. There were no pillow protectors or a bed protector. The view was great from the front of the property but couldn't be seen from the room. We also saw that all of the door handles were wrapped in plastic, which seemed a little odd. It was difficult to find and they was no sign to say it was Clare View when you got there.

It didn’t have working WiFi, the bathroom was not en-suite. It was outside the room. Aldi the owners room was right across the hall and the bathroom was between the two rooms. Even though the bathroom was for us only, it didn’t feel private because we had to go out in the hall next to his room to use it. The place is very old fashioned with no TV or any places to plug usb ports into. The bed was a king size and pretty comfortable but the blanket was so heavy and the room was quite warm.

Location was nice. Dennis was pleasant

The host Denis is courteous, conscientious, chatty and polite . On arrival we had tea in his sitting room having chats while watching a rugby match on TV. The bedroom itself was very large , with a very large and comfortable bed. Overall very good value for money and thumbs up from me

More of a homestay than B&B

Denis, the owner, is an absolute gentleman with an abundance of information about the area. We were surprised with the welcome & the lovely chat as nowadays everyone collects a key from a deposit box, we are not used to the personal touch and one to one/face to face communication. Denis carried my case up to the room.... Other than our wedding i cant remember when that happened. We could have chatted to Denis all day about Local Area, Nostalgia, Music, Politics... basically anything. Denis lives in the house and welcomed us into his own kitchen for breakfast while we chatted. Highly recommended if you are looking for a personal insight into the area! A lovely man, lovely area & lovely house. Will be back again in the future.

Denis Vaughan is a very interesting gentleman. The experience of staying in his home was very interesting, full of stories and local history. You cannot find this type of experience in a hotel setting. This is the magic of County Clare as its rustic best, no frills , honest to God hospitality. Jim and Holly
