Having run The Dolphin Restaurant here since 2000 there was delight all round when brother and sister, Pat and Cathy Coyne, developed as a small hotel in 2006.
Set in landscaped grounds, it has proved a wonderful addition to this beautiful unspoilt island of Inishbofin: the building is a modern mix of slatted wood and brick and, in tune with the island’s interest in the environment, solar panels and under floor heating were installed.
There are eleven large, bright bedrooms, with thick deep blue carpets, walnut furniture, great beds, TV and tea making facilities; all are en-suite, some with a bath. Upstairs rooms have sea and mountain views, and three special ground floor rooms have their own private sundeck on to the garden; one bedroom, and also the dining and lounge areas, have disabled access.
There’s also a lovely residents’ lounge, with access to decking and great views.
