    There was nothing to dislike.

    Not overly priced, and nothing fancy, but Bernadette definitely made us feel so welcomed and at home. The location was excellent in terms of not being on a packed downtown street, so parking was not a problem. The breakfast menu/ options were varied. The first morning, we Americans were unprepared for all that a full Irish breakfast entailed. She quickly made our breakfast plates which were overflowing with deliciousness- fried eggs, bacon, sausages, brown pudding, blood pudding, toast, brown Irish bread, and then offered her delightful berry scones. Needless to say, there was way more on my plate than I could eat, but hubby was able to finish what I could not. So the second morning, I had scrambled eggs, yogurt, blueberries and a banana. And, of course another scone! Bernadette certainly overdoes it with her kind and warm heart. And she directed us with suggestions of pubs in town serving great food and pints.

    A bit dated, but Bernadette more than compensated for any minor short comings. Good bed and a warm clean shower.

    I really like our host Bernadette. She was enthusiastic and willing to go above and beyond to insure her guests enjoyed their stay. Good camaraderie with our fellow travelers. Active people with plans to get out and hike the cliffs of Mohir and explore the Burren. A little weather wasn’t holding anyone back.

    If you’re looking for true Irish hospitality, Ramblers Rest is a gem. From the moment you arrive, Bernadette makes you feel as welcome as the name suggests. She is warm, genuine, and nothing is ever too much trouble. Whether it’s a fresh pot of tea after a long journey, a good chat laced with laughter or helpful tips about the local area, she goes out of her way, in every way. A great base for the Cliffs of Moher or a day on Inishmore, with easy access to fantastic pubs with nightly music in Doolin. Bernadette is a gorgeous hostess!

    Nothing to say here.

    Bernadette went out of her way to look after us. We appreciated her lift to the cliffs and the fact that she even came back to pick us up. We thoroughly enjoyed the breakfast as well as the tea, coffee, and scones that she offered us throughout the day. I also enjoyed a can of Guinness that Bernadette had placed in the fridge! The sunsets were beautiful.

    How wonderful person Bernadette, the owner, is!! She serves delicious breakfasts, my son had an additional request for his breakfasts and he got without any problem. Also, she offered help with our dog (he was with us) while we on shop or some trip. Beautiful views and location-3 mns driving by car to reach Cliffs! I highly recommend this place and definitely back on summer time.
