Fantastic hotel, Martina is a wonderful host. The food in the restaurant was terrific. The steak was simply delicious and cooked to perfection for both us. Highly recommend this quaint hotel if staying in Clare close to the Cliffs of Moher.

Absolutely incredible food! We have been in Ireland for 10 days and this was hands down the best place so far! Excellent service as well! Cannot recommend this place enough! We had the scallops, hake, lamb and toffee pudding. Each and every portion of the entire meal was perfection!

We stayed here for two nights - just a short getaway. The place was fantastic and the attention to detail was amazing. We had dinner at the hotel both nights - make sure you do if you stay! Breakfast was also lovely. Our room was very big and spotlessly clean with great facilities. The owners were clearly from generations of hospitality, incredibly experienced and nothing was too much trouble. A credit to County Clare !

Fabulous dinner - I had the scallops with black pudding, just perfectly done. This was followed by the most tender rack of lamb, accompanied by broccoli & colcannon. I finished with a nice light passion fruit cream. Service was excellent, lovely country house surroundings, cosy fire in the bar area - well done Sheedys, I’ll be back!

My second stay at this lovely small hotel was even better than my first. Martina looked after every detail and was always present. John's cooking was even better than I remembered. I cannot fault this hotel and would recommend it without hesitation if you are lucky enough to get a booking!

This hotel has huge bedrooms with sitting areas. The bed was extremely comfortable. The hostess was very friendly. The breakfasts were excellent. I had an Apricots cooked in a light Cointreau & Cinnamon Syrup that I will make at home, it was so good. Everyone raved over their choices to include compote of mixed berries to fresh fish. We also had dinner here that was fabulous from the Hake to the lamb and the Sticky Toffee pudding for dessert.

We booked two nights at the end of August before heading back to school. Martina took the booking and then sendt us a confirmation email. A few days before we were due to begin our holiday she rang to confirm the booking and to see if we wanted to book in for dinner on the Friday night. We, foolishly, said 'no'. ( more later) When we arrived we were greeted by Martina herself who was warm and friendly. She showed us to a very spacious 3 bed room. This room had a double and a single bed, a huge bathroom and a sofa and coffee table in front of the TV. There was also a well stocked Nespresso machine and a jar of home made biscuits. We decided to look for somewhere to eat in Lisdoovarna. There was a festival on so everywhere was busy. We asked if there was room in Sheedy's restaurant but unfortunately they were full. We immediately booked for the next evening and went to Doolin for dinner. The next morning's breakfast was unbelievable. At least 3 courses with a variety at each course. We figured out we could stay for a long time before we had to repeat a selection. Now, we are problem diners. I am a coeliac and one of us has a nut allergy. For Martina this was a simple process of asking John in the kitchen what was in each dish and reporting back. Each of the 3 of us had a terrific breakfast and the non coeliacs really enjoyed the selection of banana bread and wheaten bread plus toast. I had a very generous portion of gluten free toast. Every thing was delicious and as we got up from breakfast we discussed what we would have the next day. We spent a great day on the Burren and came back for dinner. Martina had remembered our dietary requirements and advised as we ordered what we could safely have and what we couldn't . We had three delicious dinners. There is a 2 course or 3 course option and the food was delicious. It was presented beautifully and the service wasn't rushed and we were allowed plenty of time to enjoy our meal. I ordered the steak and it was a very generous steak and cooked to perfection. The lamb was beautifully cooked and yet we still looked enviously at the tagine my daughter had ordered. The following morning we each had a different breakfast and it was just as enjoyable. As we were checking out we had a nice chat with Martina who really cared that we had had an enjoyable stay, which we had. In short if I was visiting Clare again I couldn't imagine staying anywhere else, except this time I would book dinner in Sheedy's for both nights. This is a family run hotel which has all the care and attention that 'family run' implies. A previous review said that calling this a hotel doesn't do it justice. It's a warm and welcoming home. The attention to detail in decor and cleanliness is obvious and from the moment we parked the car to the moment we drove away we were treated as treasured guests and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We can't wait to return.…

We spent two nights at Sheedy's recently with a VBT bike group. This hotel and restaurant is everything you could hope for. The service was superior as were the very thoughtful meals and beautiful room accommodations. Martina and John and the rest of their family really work together to make this a top notch place to stay.

Family run hotel with super friendly hostess. The food was really outstanding. Nice location near the cliffs on the coast and in the Burren. Pubs and music within walking distance to quaint downtown. Rooms and gardens nice. A great stay.

We stayed here with friends for one night...to call it a hotel doesn't convey the really warm feeling you get from the proprietors. The service, food and furnishings are very high class, but with a hands on touch from Mrs. Sheedy. Mr. Sheedy does the cooking, my God, it is fabulous. When we were finished dinner we went into the beautiful library for an after-dinner drink... Rooms are so large and so beautifully furnished...if staying anywhere near the area I wouldn't dream of passing it, it really is an experience.
