Selection of Guests comments from 2008 Trip Advisor Reviews Great location for visiting the pubs of Doolin - particularly McGann's and McDermott's as it's a short walk (stumble home) from both. Marian met us at the door and greeted us by name. Fantastic room and warm welcome from Bean - the owner's Irish Setter. The room was quite large and comfortable. The next morning our breakfast was superb and Marian took the time to help us plan our day of sightseeing. Overall a great experience and I would stay there again.”   "We were impressed from the minute we saw it...and continued to be impressed the whole time." This was our favorite accommodation for a 2 week trip in Ireland The rooms (ours was above the restaurant) were gorgeous and newly renovated - nice, simple decorating, a very modern and spacious bathroom, and a ridiculously comfortable bed and linens. One window opened up to a picturesque field of cows and the other showed a beautiful view of the ocean and cliffs. The walls must be very thick because we never heard a sound from the neighboring rooms or restaurant below us. It gets even better though - breakfast was incredible! You get a choice of breakfast entree from a full menu as well as a buffet of several fresh juices, cereal, stewed prunes, candied rhubarb, and delicious yogurt. The pancakes I had were amazing - the food blew us away and made us wish we had splurged on dinner at Roadford House too. “   “The room was very nice, Roadford House is only a few years old so everything is new. Breakfast was FANTASTIC, like many others we highly recommend the stuffed pancakes! From the time we arrived to the time we left, the hospitality, including driving directions to Dublin, what to see along the way, etc. was all great! All in all, it was a wonderful experience and we'd definitely recommend Roadford House! “   “Frank & Marian were the perfect host & hostess; friendly, helpful and so hospitable. The room was modern, clean and very comfortable. Loved the speciality soap they supplied in the spotlessly clean bathroom. The gourmet breakfast was absolutely delicious. Try the stuffed pancake - it's amazing. Though I didn't have the opportunity to eat dinner in their restaurant, the aroma coming from their kitchen was heavenly. Check out the artwork in the foyer and dining room - had to buy a print so I would have a keepsake of Doolin to bring home to America. Location is perfect - you can park your car and walk down the hill to a couple of pubs that have live music in the evening and delicious pub food.”   “The rooms were basic but very comfortable, clean and modern, with nice bedding & bathroom. This was the most affordable place we stayed, at 35 euro pppn in the fall. Also, we had a wonderful view of Doolin and the Cliffs of Moher in the distance from our window. “ “Marian was an absolutely wonderful hostess, and Frank's food was incredible. The breakfasts were definitely something special, with choice of full Irish breakfast, local smoked salmon or cheese plate, and the best pancakes & fruit you'll ever eat. We ate dinner there one night for my b-day, and it was incredible... a 3-course early bird special that was well worth the money. If you are going to County Clare, you should definitely stay at the Roadford House!!! “Marian is incredibly fun and a gracious hostess. The location is perfect-off the main road, close to the pubs. There are horses in the field across the street that we enjoyed watching play. Do have dinner at the restaurant. It is wonderful.”   “My family stayed at Roadford House this August and we give it top notch ratings. The rooms are basic but very comfortable and the setting is lovely--quiet and charming. And don't miss dining at Roadford House. The restaurant, attached to the B&B, is excellent. We had dinner there and it was one of the best meals I've ever had. And breakfast, which is part of the price for the room, was also delicious. The proprietor, Marian Sheedy, is extremely helpful with advice and making reservations. And her chef husband does a stand out job. We went to Doolin because of its location near the Cliff of Moher and the Aran Islands and because Doolin is considered the unofficial traditional music capital of Ireland. So this should be a must stop for a visitor the West of Ireland.”   “What the room lacked in aesthetics, however, was more than made up for by the hospitality of Marian and the food prepared by her husband Frank, an award-winning gourmet chef. The breakfast was impeccable—fresh, local products prepared with care and precision. We also booked dinner there one evening and we were thrilled we did—absolutely amazing cuisine. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend this B&B to anyone.”   “We had high expectations after reading Tripadvisor and were in no way disappointed. From the first friendly greeting to our final parting, Marian made us feel totally at home. The rooms were tasteful and well equipped, and as for the food... well suffice it to say that we had booked there the first night and we ate there all three of the nights that we stayed - it was so good!!! many thanks Frankie, since we weren't able to thank you ourselves as you were busy, as always, in the kitchen. Service at table matched the excellent quality of the food - of good hotel standard. The only thing I can't understand is that the Irish Tourist Board won't rate this first-class establishment on their web-site, since access to the rooms is by an outside staicase. They must be nuts” Click on images to enlarge
