Clai Ban was the B&B that came with our package from Aer Arann. Bartley was friendly and helpful. We had heard you could rent a cart and pony so asked about it. Bartley called and within 30 minutes we were on our way! The house was warm and inviting. Breakfast filling. The whole Inishmore expierience was exceptional! I will be... More

We greatly enjoyed our stay at Clai Ban. The owner, Bartley, was great for a chat/laugh and made us feel at home. He always checked that everything was ok (e.g. temperature in the room) and happily made us extra servings of bread in the mornings. The room (No 5) was small but cosy. Great views over the ocean/village. The shower... More

My wife and I got a deal through Aer Arann for a return flight, one night stay at Clai Ban and dinner at a local pub. Not much was open on the Island, but Clai Ban was centrally located, had a spacious room and a very friendly host. I would highly recommend staying here when you are visiting the island.

This cheerfully attractive yellow B&B sits just a short walk uphill from the pier. Arriving on the 6:30 ferry from Rossaveel, we were met by Bartley and his sweet & funny little dog Guinness. We were worn out from a long day of driving and so were very pleased to find such a friendly host and such a cozy, clean... More

Our stay in this B&B was excellent. The owner was very friendly and able to offer advice when asked. The B&B was clean and perfect for our needs. While the location was uphill from the ferry, it is situated very close to the best and busiest pub on the island = very easy stumble home! We highly recommend this accomodation!

This B&B, just like the island itself is a gem. The owner Bartley was very friendly, plenty of conversation and tips on what to do, but also knew when to give us some space to breath. House is lovely and very clean and we get a warm welcome from Guinness the dog. Location is the best thing of all. 5mins... More

This is an attractive looking B&B only five minute’s walk from the harbour and almost next door to a lively pub with good food. The B&B is clean and comfortable with modernly decorated rooms. The owner was extremely friendly and helpful without being over-bearing. The ensuite was a decent size with an electric shower which was great and there was... More

Room small but ok, just a little tired. Host friendly enough but lax on issues - hairdryer didn't work, bacon was cooked more than once (way overdone and very tough), repeatedly slow to answer emails when they answered them at all, and fibbed on how close they are to the ferry (they say 5 minutes - try 10 without luggage...
