Dolphin Hotel and Restaurant Inishbofin

We had an excellent stay in Dolphins Hotel, Boffin - June 2024. We were very kindly picked up by Hotel owner, Pat and the lovely Ruby who were both very helpful in getting us settled in to the hotel and making us feel at home. The room was spacious, spotless and comfortable. All the hotel staff were incredibly accommodating. Breakfast was excellent and served with a few great one liners from Pat! Overall, a brilliant little hotel on this gem of an island. We will definitely be back! Thanks Pat, Ruby and all in Dolphins Hotel.

We stayed for 1 night in this wonderful hotel. From being collected from the boat to the warm welcome we received our stay was just brilliant. The breakfast was lovely also and the service top class. Would highly recommend this hotel. We completed some lovely loop walks and this was a great location. Thanks we will be back.

The missus and I had heard Inisbofin was a lovely island so we looked for accommodation and landed on the dolphin hotel. The vibe is relaxed the people are sound the food, pints and service was top class. Pat the hotel owner and his staff were very friendly and very helpful, we will be back for sure, thanks folks, Aran and Aoife

First trip to Inisbofin last weekend for 3 nights. Went with friend. Loved it. The Olympics kept us going on the one wet day we had last Sunday. Really enjoyed staying here at Pat's hotel, friendly and cosy with a lovely cooked breakfast. Pat is very astute and very funny with the one liners. A big call out to Annieka who served us breakfast every morning. Thank you for your good humour and efficiency. 😊 I didn't mind if I got mine a bit late the morning I was leaving on the ferry. I just wanted to make sure I would keep it down in the event of a rough crossing😀 I would stay here again without a doubt. Great strong shower in bathroom and great warm blankets for the beds if needed. Thanks to Pat for the pick up from pier on arrival and lift back on morning of departure. Hope to see you all soon.

Delighted with the hotel and the service during our stay. Pat was hilarious as he squashed 8 of us into his High Ace van and gave us a great introduction to the island with his sharp wit! The rooms were spacious and clean with a beautiful shower. Breakfast was freshly cooked and tasty. The hotel is 10-15 min walk from the Pier. Beautiful views all around. The ferry crew calmed my anxiety on our return home, when Pat hadn't arrived with our bags and everyone else was loaded. They said he'll turn up with a big smile at 3 minutes prior to departure, and so it was! Got loaded up and departed on time! Gotta admire his laid back approach!

Very comfortable hotel close to the harbour. The rooms are big and well equipped, great shower! |Breakfast selection is limited but very good and well cooked. The bar is open in the evenings, served by the all role Pat who is the face of the hotel. We were collected from the boat and, when we were sailing back, we went for a walk to the harbour and Pat brought our bags down to the boat which made things easy. The evenings in the bar are interesting and good fun with Pat a great storyteller to keep things moving. Inishbofin is beautiful and the Dolphin makes it special. Only thing wrong is that there are no evening meals but lots of choice on the island for that.

Lovely friendly owner, good breakfast, rooms could do with a little tlc. Views are stunning, location about 15 mins walk from the pier & bars/restaurants. Bike hire just across the road. All in all a lovely stay. Would return if bedroom standards were a little better.

Cool free from the boat and dropped to the hotel ,super friendly and helpful
