Across many reviews, Cappabhaile House stands out for warm, knowledgeable hosts, hearty made-to-order breakfasts, and a scenic rural setting near the Burren and Cliffs of Moher, creating a cozy base for exploring.
Bedrooms are frequently very large and comfortable, many with pleasant countryside views. A few guests note dated or compact bathrooms, occasional door or hallway noise, and that driving is needed for dining or activities in the area. Overall, expect a friendly, homey stay in a quiet, scenic location.

Very cozy atmosphere, amazing views of the countryside. The room was perfect for 4 adults (my husband and I & our two adult children). The room had a queen bed & two twin beds. The beds had a flat sheet and comforter! The breakfast was perfect. The guys enjoyed the pool table too. Short drive to the Cliffs of Moher and there’s a lovely restaurant close by called Monks. I would definitely stay here again.

We enjoyed our stay here, staff were very nice. We had a bonus hour's worth of traditional Irish music performed in the living room, it was really good. Breakfast was fantastic! My only negative about the property was that it was very dated, especially the bathroom, other than that, enjoyable place to stay.

The interior of the place tidy and their breakfast was substantial and tasty — great porridge! They had recently painted and our initial room had a strong paint odor so we asked to move. The new room was nice and had tea and coffee, however the bathroom was lacking. There was no place to put our stuff, the toilet seat was broken and the shower was terrible — weak water pressure! The outside of the property could be tidied up.

The cutest Bed and Breakfast ever. The staff was lovely!! The breakfast in the morning was amazing and fresh and the hosts gave the best recommendations from a "locals" perspective and were so enjoyable. Our room was kept stocked with tea, coffee and chocolates. The place was clean and comfortable. I would definitely recommended and stay again!

The property is beautiful. Sheep out front, cows in the back. Staff is helpful. Breakfast very good. The doors need some WD-40. Late into the night our neighbors were opening, closing, slamming their door repeatedly. It creaked like a haunted house every time - really loud. Walls are very thin so I could hear every sound next door. I travel with ear plugs. Fixed me right up. Would definitely stay here again.

super nice hosts, Connor was very kind and shared a lot about the Burren, and Ferris in the kitchen, with a selection of warm breakfast each day you can chose from if you want to stay several days i had a double room with chairs and tons of space, very spacious, comfortable, clean with beautiful views of one of the Burren hills a car or bikes would be needed to get around as roads are narrow and dangerous to walk, lots to do around, perfect location to explore the area, plenty to do from there with a car, but not a bustling town situation I went to sheep dog demonstration under stormy conditions and had a wonderful time

This was truly our favorite accommodation we have ever stayed in! They make you a delicious breakfast served in the nicest way. The family room was huge, clean, & so comfortable. The shower was meek but the wi-fi was strong. It was quiet, safe, & comforting. I cannot recommend Cappabhaile enough!

Cappabhaile House is a perfect place to stay for access to the west coast of Ireland. You can get to Galway and the Cliffs of Moher within an hour each way. The ocean is a few miles away also. The view outside your room is stunning. Oh, and don’t forget to wave to the cows. Breakfast is delicious. Thanks to the staff, especially Connor, who must be the local historian. I’d stay here again when I return to Ireland!

Cappabhaile House is the cutest little bed and breakfast. The staff were all wonderfully welcoming and kind. Our bedroom, which had a king and two twin beds, was large and comfortable. Breakfast was FANTASTIC and there was always way more food than one could eat. This is located in a picturesque countryside location, with a castle visible from the front yard. There is a cute little town about 3 minutes' drive with a couple restaurants, a small grocery store, and laundry facilities. There are several fun beach areas close by. The Cliffs of Moher was a breathtaking 30-minute drive. Do yourself a favor and take a sunset drive past the Black Head Lighthouse to Fanore Beach. You'll thank me later. The only suggestion I would have for the owners is to keep circulating fans on hand for the unusually hot days, like we experienced. Other than that, this B&B will not disappoint!

The interior of the place tidy and their breakfast was substantial and tasty — great porridge! They had recently painted and our initial room had a strong paint odor so we asked to move. The new room was nice and had tea and coffee, however the bathroom was lacking. There was no place to put our stuff, the toilet seat was broken and the shower was terrible — weak water pressure! The outside of the property could be tidied up.

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.

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.
