"Peace, perfect peace. Quirky, eclectic - and fabulous: Dolphin Beach House is a place you'll remember, and go back to……

Dolphin Beach is a very special place, off the beaten track, quiet, hugely comfortable and overlooking a vast empire of sea and wilderness. Ireland unspoilt. It's also cleverly designed, with bedrooms tucked away downstairs, and angled so as not to overlook one another.

Fortunately we stay for dinner: minted soup served with three homemade breads, followed by salmon from Cleggan and really fresh vegetables including a yummy carrot puree. Strawberry rhubarb crumble to finish. Small wine list priced between €24 and €30. Simple but spot on. …

This is the best kind of Irish hospitality you can find: quirky, welcoming, innovative, professional. A memory to savour and a place to return to."

The Irish Times, Travel Desk, July 2006

"Dolphin Beach, it's the best place, probably my favourite place in the world. It's run by a lovely family, the Foyle's and it's really laid back and very beautiful with mad, quirky stuff in the room. They let you have the run of the place, and it's down to the people mainly. People make a place."

"Dolphin Beach is only 10 minutes out of Connemara's 'capital village', Clifden, but it feels a world away, perched on a bank right above the shore, with a most spectacular view of sea, peninsulas and islands. The food's fresh, local and delicious, and there are board games to while away stormy days. Altogether, a pure drop of Connemara magic."
