We stayed at Claí Bán for one night during our visit to Inishmore and absolutely loved it. The room was spotless, spacious, and very comfortable, with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The location is perfect, peaceful and quiet, yet close enough to easily get to the pier, bike rentals, and the island’s main sights. Our host was so welcoming and kind, giving us great recommendations for dinner and things to do. Breakfast was delicious and set us up perfectly for a day of exploring. You can really feel the care and pride they put into their place. We only wish we could have stayed longer. We highly recommend Claí Bán to anyone visiting Inishmore and hope to return on our next trip.

Stayed the weekend and we had a lovely stay , host was friendly with two beautiful dogs and donkeys to the front was like a home away from home . Myself and my partner wouldn’t be big breakfast eaters but we were very satisfied. The location is ideal 5 minutes from all amenities, and jo wattys restaurant with live music a stone throw away , Will be back and highly recommend thanks a mill
Bartley is a wonderful host and cooks a great breakfast. The room was spotless and the shower was great. You're conveniently close to Kilronan and right next door to a great pub (Joe Watty's). Would highly recommend and happy to come back here should we visit the island again.
