Overall a 9.5/10! Really great place to be. Super cute, clean and spacious.
The only downside was that it was a little loud when the upstairs neighbours walk around at night.

We stayed at the pipers rest for a local wedding. Check in was smooth and communication prior was great. There was plenty of parking outside and the location was perfect for us.
We had a very comfortable room. The bed, pillows and duvet were excellent - we had a great sleep and they were excellent hotel quality. The bathroom had everything we needed including a face cloth specifically for removing makeup which is a brilliant idea. Additionally the room had tea & coffee and some good quality biccies left for us which was very much appreciated at the end of our night. We also had access to Netflix on the tv and plenty of sockets.
There was no noise that we could hear from other rooms and it was in a really quiet road just off the main road. So we had no sleep disturbances.
The method for ordering breakfast the night before was a really good idea to reduce waste and it made it efficient as our items were ready when we arrived in the morning. Everything we had was tasty and cooked how we requested.
Overall it ticked all of the boxes for our 1 night stay and it is clearly a thoughtfully run B&B. We would stay again.
Our only downside was related to the breakfast. Everything we had was tasty and cooked how we requested. However, we did think it was a little bit small for a full Irish breakfast. We found that 1 rasher, 1 egg, 1 piece of toast each wasn’t enough that we should have been able to ask for 2 of each. We also would have expected it to include beans. I fully understand that you are aiming to reduce waste, so maybe the option to at least order additional items on the form might help accommodate this?

Good value. Really warm. Very comfortable. Doolin is a small town so easily walkable to local restaurants and pubs for dinner at night.
Everything was really clean. They were able to accommodate our late check in.

breakfast was delicious
Did not like that my bedroom was next to the kitchen and was not made aware of this until the morning when i was woken by the sound of cutlery clattering.

The Pipers Rest is a wonderful guest house in Doolin and within walking distance of all the local attractions. I highly suggest it as a holiday spot!
The staff was very accommodating - they arranged to leave some croissants in the early morning when I had an early departure before the scheduled breakfast time.(Thank you!) I was quite impressed with their attention to waste management and being conscious of the environment.
I found the room to be quiet and comfortable and it was nice to be set back off the main road through town.
Were I to visit again, I don't think I would book another place!
I was very happy with the accomodations and have no complaints.

This was one of favorite locations in Ireland where we stayed. The location was extremely convenient, breakfast was delicious, and the rooms were comfortable. This felt more like a traditional b and b and less like a room in someone's house, which we appreciated.

Great location to walk to local pubs for a meal and typical Irish music. Literally 2 minutes walk down the road. Wonderful lighting in the room. Beautiful breakfast served by a very pleasant lady. Felt welcomed at check-in.
Nil, loved it all.

It is well located for touring west Clare. It is reasonably close to the center of Doolin. The staff were very pleasant.
It was quiet and peaceful. The room was a decent size with and en-suite all of which were very clean. There was drinking water in a jug, plenty of towels, toilet paper, soaps etc...It was good value for money.
On arrival the entrance to the little car-park was in poor condition. Impressions count for a lot. From the breakfast room you could see an small "courtyard" and garden which was very untidy and was not a pleasant view. The latest breakfast was at 09:30. The food was "fine" ordered the day before by menu. However the cooked breakfast was served before we had finished our cereal on both days. The feeling was that the staff wanted to get finished up as quickly as possible. The place had a "feeling of being run" by non stakeholders.

Doolin was a great stop over place to see the cliffs of Moher. The Pipers Rest is well located at the end of the village and a very short walk to the excellent McDermotts pub
Welcome was a bit robotic and breakfast seemed a little rationed. Shower was very small
