Ballyvaughan Poulnabrone Dolmen Hotels

"If I could give the Rathbaun Hotel more than 5 stars, I absolutely would. From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel genuinely welcome—warm, kind, attentive, and incredibly hospitable. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble, and their level of care truly made the stay memorable. Now, the beds… wow. Easily some of the most comfortable bedding I’ve slept in while traveling. Honestly, 10/10 on the bedding alone—soft, cozy, luxurious, and exactly what you want after a long day exploring Ireland. I slept incredibly well. The rooms do have a slightly dated feel, but they were spotless, well-maintained, and very comfortable. I also really appreciated the in-room coffee bar and tea station—such a thoughtful touch that made the space feel even more welcoming. This hotel has charm, comfort, and some of the friendliest hospitality I’ve experienced. I would absolutely recommend the Rathbaun Hotel to anyone visiting the area, and without question, I’ll be staying here again when I return to Ireland!"

"This property is right in the heart of everything. Rooms are real Snug but had what we needed. The one thing I would say is if you need to use the bathroom or get up for any reason at night, it's hard to crawl over your partner."

"Hôtel was lovely and well located. My only comment would be the size of the bathroom. Every thing else really suited our needs. Staff was fantastic!"

"The staff were very nice. Hotel style is cute. Unfortunately the noise makes it very difficult to sleep. Walls are very thin so you hear everything and my room overlooked the trash bins and you could hear every time the gate was open. Further, the headboard to the bed was stained and gross. Lastly I understood there were no closets but there’s also no luggage stand so either you’re accessing your suitcase on the floor or keeping it on the bed. "

"Delicious breakfast and I will never forget the Redbreast 27"

"Staff really nice. Location great for our needs. I will the mattress in our room has seen better days and could do with replacing."

"This place was just perfect! Definitely would stay here again! Breakfast was really yummy! "

"The room was spacious and very nicely stocked. I wish I had longer to stay than one night."

"The owners were so kind and friendly! The grounds were gorgeous. A perfect place to relax and stay. "
