Murray’s Doonmore Hotel
Experience True Island Life on Inishbofin
Sheep, cows, and horses graze in the surrounding fields, adding to the natural charm of the location.
A Hub for Traditional Irish Music
Murray’s Bar, part of the hotel, is a beloved venue for live traditional music. Known for its friendly atmosphere and legendary sessions, it regularly hosts well-known Irish musicians.
This tradition is driven by hotel manager Andrew, a former singer with top Irish bands including the iconic group De Dannan. His musical connections bring talent from across Ireland and beyond to this small island stage.
In July and August, there is live music every night of the week. The rest of the year, you’ll find performances at least every weekend.
Rooms with Character
The Doonmore Hotel features a small selection of recently updated rooms, designed with simplicity and comfort in mind.
Each room offers views of the sea or the island’s rugged hills. Expect authenticity, warmth, and a sense of stepping outside time.
