08/06/2026: Stayed at this beautiful hotel for three nights while on a tour that included County Clare and the west coast, and I felt welcome right from the start. The reception staff were very kind and helpful throughout our stay, promptly sorting out a hitch on our arrival when my suitcase was left outside the wrong room, and mailing all my postcards on the day we left. Could not believe how big and spacious my room was! I had a choice between a double bed or a generous single one. The room was clean, quiet and warm, with ample wardrobe space and all the usual amenities. The only negative for me was that the table and writing desk were too high for the chairs, rather a problem if you're not very tall! The bathroom had a lovely spacious walk-in shower, handmade toiletries (beautiful fragrance!), and extra towels. Dinner was in a large restaurant on the lower ground floor. Courteous and charming waiters, and professional service. The wine was quite pricey, but we were offered free drinks on the first evening. The dinners were well prepared, plenty of variety with creative ingredients, though I noticed no vegetarian options for the main courses. I especially loved the delicious beef and Guinness casserole, and the locally sourced lamb. Gorgeous desserts too. The hearty breakfasts really set me up for the day. As well as the usual cereals and cooked breakfast, there was a nice cold buffet with cheese, hard-boiled egg, cold meats and mackerel. There's an immaculate little garden with outside tables and wonderful views of the surrounding countryside. A flight of steps leads from here down to the River Inagh and the waterfalls, and the picturesque village of Ennistymon is only a 5 minute walk away. There was music and dancing in the bar on all three nights we were here, including traditional Irish entertainment on our last night. I certainly enjoyed the time I spent here and would stay here again.
