“Loved it!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 May 2010

My husband and I stayed for three nights and loved it. The house is beautiful, the rooms are lovely and more than ample space. The location is amazing, taking walks on the hillside cliffs with the sheep grazing a few feet away was so fun. Belle the dog was an added bonus and she took me down to the beach to play fetch with her, a real character. The breakfasts were so yummy and Clodagh was always smiling, helpful and sweet! The only drawback is the curvy, narrow road, which can be a bit scary to drive on! Thanks for adding to our wonderful holiday in Ireland.

“A most homely welcome in a dream location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 May 2010

Dolphin Beach is no ordinary place. The welcome from Clodagh and the gorgeous rooms are to die for. We truly did not want to leave. We stayed in Bay View with a fantastic sleigh bed and view of the ocean. The room was spotless and quiet. The food was lovely and the lounge area complete with Belle the dog felt like home - except we don't have a view like it. We have never stayed in a more beautiful place.

“Bliss of an Irish Spring”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 April 2010

This is a wonderful place to unwind and relax which was exactly what I was looking for when I stayed in early April. Enhanced by the lovely weather, the peace and tranquility of this hidden gem made this the most memorable time. Tastefully decorated with a lovely comfortable bed, the Peacock Bedroom on the ground floor was just delightful. The patio doors gave out onto the broad pathway leading down to the sea and being able to step out into the fresh sunny spring days and walk down to the beach was bliss. The dining room with it's fabulous views across to the islands was a perfect setting for the delicious breakfasts I enjoyed. I will definitely return.

We had a very nice long weekend at the Dolphin Beach House, the room had a lovely view and the breakfast was very good. We will certainly come back here :-)

“A breath of fresh air”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 April 2010

The Dolphin Beach House was a fantastic stop on my trip to Ireland. Its location might just be on many a top ten most beautiful places on the planet lists. The accommodations were lovely and the hospitality divine. I recommend this hotel for anyone wanting to have a magical visit in County Galway. It was perfect! And a view from my room is my screen saver-- so i can revisit the path to the water when I log on most mornings.
