About Your Hosts
Anthony, Deirdre and their team are your hosts at Doolin Inn – professionals who have both expertise and experience in the hospitality industry, from top of the range hotels to the world of hostel holidays.
Anthony is a graduate of the Shannon College of International Hotel Management, beginning his career in hospitality at Clontarf Castle. Over the years, Anthony worked at many Four Seasons Hotels in Washington DC, Toronto and Hawaii – before returning to Ireland as General Manager of the Garryvoe Hotel. He took over the reins of Doolin Inn from his parents– who opened the very first ‘bed and breakfast’ in Doolin, some fifty years ago.
Deirdre has notched up vast experience working with Jury’s Hotels, Clontarf Castle and Ritz Carlton. She has also experience within the up-market retail sector, and accountancy – ensuring you enjoy a relaxed country home experience with important finishing touches and a warm welcome.
The best cup of coffee, a breakfast fit for an explorer, a great room with everything you could need – and a team that knows Doolin inside out. This has always been what Doolin Inn is all about ~ Anthony Moloney, Proprietor

What makes Doolin Inn different ?
Getting better every day..
We have always worked to the principle of ‘every day we add or do something to make us better’. Whether it’s a new breakfast recipe or a new addition to our bedrooms – it makes the difference.
Friendly informality
It could be a cosy fireside chat with guests in the lounge or the flexibility to come and go as you please. From knowing there’s a place to leave your muddy boots, to pottering over a delicious, casual breakfast– you’ll enjoy a relaxed atmosphere and a caring team that gives our Inn its special brand of magic.
Simplicity and convenience
We’ve invested in superior systems to make bookings and check-ins as easy as possible… while we also invest the time when you arrive to make sure we know what you want from your stay, and offer the helpful advice and information you need.
Professional yet personal
From room finishes and amenities to friendly, homely service – our dedicated team works seamlessly behind the scenes, ensuring your stay is a memorable one.
Perfect placement
Doolin Inn has pride of place in a truly idyllic Irish coastal village. The kind of place where, if it suits you – you can park your car when you arrive, and not drive again until you leave. The best of Doolin is all right on our doorstep.
A breath of fresh air
Light, roomy, open and bright – Doolin Inn takes its lead from the fresh wild Atlantic air that welcomes you on arrival.
