Exactly what you expect from an Island community. Warm welcome, great customer service. Fantastic food, best on the Island. Friendly and lively bar for drinks and traditional music. Family friendly. Kids so busy, no time wasted as they played and entertained themselves for hours. It's was like going back in time as you strolled the off the beaten tracks. Walkers galore, bicycles everywhere. Smiling happy faces right throughout your stay. Even a storm couldn't dampen the spirits. I'll be back next month for more. Thanks to all at The Doonmore Hotel. The business and your staff are brilliant.

Guest reviews
Doonmore Hotel averages 4.8 out of 5 across 258 reviews. A selection, quoted as written:
Our room had a lovely ocean view, bed was big and comfortable, and the whole place was spotless. We had a quality meal in the bar part of the restaurant. The seafood was top notch. Not sure who the chef is, but they knew how to cook and present the food. Trad music at 9.30 finished off the evening, just as we'd hoped. Owners and staff anticipated all the extras, like storing bags while we hiked before room available, maps, transport to ferry in the rain. We'll definitely stay again when we go to Innisboffin.
Just back from a fantastic 3 night stay at the hotel! The hotel and rooms have been recently refurbished… And are fab! Food was excellent, best on the island! The service’ & hospitality was fantastic too, thanks to everyone for looking after us! Will be back next year! ⭐️
