A great location, good rooms and superb, very friendly, service. John and Lynn could not have been friendlier or more helpful in giving advice on the local sights. Travelling from here was particularly easy and the location of the hotel facilitated this. A great place to stay, to be recommended.

I can't say enough about how much I LOVED my stay at the Rathbaun. Jonathan and Lynn went out of their way to make us feel welcome. They did everything they could to help us and make our stay pleasant. The area is really cute and the hotel is very cozy and comfortable. All the girls who work in the... More

We stayed in the Rathbaun in September for a week for the lisdoonvarna festival and the music and dancing were excellent. The best thing about this hotel is that breakfast goes on till 12 noon every day so we didn't have to get up early. We got a brilliant breakfast every day and it kept us going till we had... More

I have been going to the Lisdoonvarna festival for over 20 years & have always been very impressed with this hotel. All the staff have always been very helpful & polite, which i believe is a reflection on the owners. The entertainment is very good & the food has always been of a very high quality & I would not...

Very basic hotel, but music and dancing keeps bringing people back for more. The atmosphere is brilliant, the musicians especially Mr. Burke are a delight. Five stars for entertainment and spacious dancing area. The young staff were generally very friendly and helpful, but my friends and I were a little shocked at the management there. I saw the older woman... More

Lynn & John were wonderful hosts. I arrived injured from a fall at Heathrow connecting to Shannon airports and Lynn went out of her way to help me. She provided ice, crutches, a hot water bottle and tea. John came up to check my leg (which turned out to be a fracture on my tibia) and encouraged us to treat... More

We stayed here for 3 nights early in Sept 2012. The 'Matchmaker Festival' was on so it was jam packed. Even being so busy this place really stud out (again) with quality and friendly service. FOOD FANTASTIC, place immaculate clean and tidy. Lynn & John its a credit to you. Thank you for another great stay!

I was told to go up here for the great food and lovely staff. The only thing that I found appalling was the young children behind the bar shouting abuse at the barmaids; they must have been only about 11 and 8. Everyone in the front bar were bewildered. When my mother was speaking to the owner later on she... More
