The owners pay attention to every detail from the information provided with the booking to the luxurious accommodations and breakfast…oh my the breakfast! The location is walking distance to town and they made dinner reservations for us. Lodging is exceptionally clean and comfortable. I fell in love with their dog Bertie! I highly recommend staying here when in Doolin!

Property's Favourite Review
The Sheedy's Doolin Boutique B&B is what all B&Bs aspire to be like. Marian and Frank are genuinely nice people. They designed their establishment and saw to every detail, and their many years experience is evident. It is clean, the colors fresh and serene and the rooms (especially the beds) are comfortable. Marian not only suggests the best places to eat but makes your arrangements if you wish. Frank is a chief, and you won't find a better breakfast anywhere. Perfectly cooked and beautifully presented. The morning sideboard always looks like what you would find on a cooking magazine cover. This was not our first stay with them. We love to travel and this is by far our favorite place to stay. The town, the views, the people of Doolin are wonderful, and the Sheedy's B&B makes it the perfect destination.…

I know Marian and Frank had no control over the weather the last week of May, but I'd like to think if they did, a stay with them would always include clear skies and bright sunny days. A perfect location in the center of town with an easy walk to everything. Sheedy's must be at the top of your list if you are visiting Doolin. My family and I had only a couple of days to enjoy the warm hospitality of our hosts and those magnificent breakfasts, but we know better now and will schedule a longer stay during our next visit.

My husband and I stayed in Doolin for two nights, May 24 and 25, 2023. What an incredible experience! We were in Ireland for two weeks and stayed in many places from Dublin to Derry and hands down this was our favourite place. Marian and Frank’s attention to detail is outstanding. They have really created a special place. From the moment we arrived we felt welcomed and spoiled. The rooms are luxurious and modern, but you can still feel a cosy Irish flair through the thoughtful decor and colourful artwork. And this vibe is continued in the amazing, award winning breakfast that chef Frank creates. Everything is homemade, including pastries, muffins, jams and stewed fruits. He creates traditional breakfasts with a modern twist that blew my mind and palette! Breakfast was a beautiful event all by itself. And Marian is such a friendly and kind hostess, always willing to answer questions and give advice, and even make bookings at local restaurants. They leave nothing to chance for their guests with the welcoming honour bar, beautiful gardens and even flashlights at the door for late night walks home from the pub. Frank even met us at the door with a cold bottle of water after we had a long, hot day of biking on Inishmore. It is true that it is the little things that matter. And I would be remiss if I didn’t mention their adorable “concierge”, Bertie. For those missing their furry friends at home, he is there to help. Kudos to Marian and Frank for having created a destination unto itself. Thank you Sheedy’s for being such an incredible and memorable part of our visit to Doolin. I would return to Ireland just to stay here!…

Great place to stay! Clean, comfortable with a decorator’s touch. Only thing better than the furnishings is the hospitality offered by the host Marian. We felt like old friends and appreciated all the advice in making the most of our visit. The breakfast was amazing!!

From the moment we stepped through the doors of Marian and Frank's bed and breakfast, we were enveloped in a world of exceptional hospitality that goes above and beyond any expectations. This isn't just a B&B – it's a gold standard for what all hospitality venues should aspire to become. Marian and Frank aren't just innkeepers, they are maestros orchestrating a symphony of comfort, attentiveness, and warmth. Their passion and pride in their work are as clear as daylight and shines in every little detail. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to suggest that they could run a training academy for aspiring hospitality professionals! Their talent isn't just in running an establishment, but in making each guest feel cherished and welcome. The breakfast deserves a special mention. It is, simply put, a 5-star experience. Each morning you're greeted with a feast for the senses. The dishes are fresh, lovingly prepared, and absolutely delicious using all locally sourced ingredients. In conclusion, this isn't just a B&B; it's a slice of home that you can carry with you. The memories of your stay will linger, and it's certain to make you yearn for a return visit. A heartfelt thanks to Marian and Frank for creating such a beautiful haven. They've created not just an establishment, but a beacon for all others in the industry to follow.…

Sheedy's Doolin BnB was by far our favorite place to stay on our 12 day VBT bike tour!! Marian was extremely friendly and welcoming. We enjoyed sitting with her indoors and out in the courtyard. Frank prepared two extraordinary breakfasts and dinners for us. He is an acclaimed gourmet chef. This couple obviously love their BnB and the guests are made to feel very special. The huge bedroom and bathroom were spotlessly clean. The bed was super comfy. This was 5 star luxury!

We stayed at Sheedy's for three nights and it was wonderful. A lovely, convenient location and our rooms were very comfortable. Marian and Frank were the perfect hosts. Made us feel right at home and were there to provide advice and suggestions during our stay. Excellent gourmet breakfasts (try the omelets) as well as snacks and drinks available in the sitting room. And we were greeted each day by their beautiful, friendly sheep dog Bertie. We love Doolin and hope to return again and when we do we will surely stay at Sheedy's. Tim and Kim

Marian, Frank and Bertie epitomise Irish hospitality at its very best. Relaxed but entirely professional. Great accommodation and beautifully maintained. The breakfast is unbeatable and worth the visit alone. This was our first visit but we intend to be frequent returnees.

We stayed in five places during our two-week trip to Ireland. Sheedy's was far and away the best. The room was nicely appointed and the view out our window was lovely. The breakfast was outstanding. There was a wide selection of continental breakfast items on a table in the middle of the dining room. In addition, Frank, the chef, provides a list of options that he will prepare along with a daily special. Everything I had was delicious. Marian, who deals with the guests, is very friendly and helpful. There are many interesting things to do and see in the area around Doolin. I wish our stay had been longer and I hope to return. Oh, and don't forget to introduce yourself to the dog, Bertie.
