Dromoland Castle
03/11/2025: Everything about this castle is magnificent. The older section (reception, restaurant, bar) is sumptuous. Breakfast is exceptional in the castle's grand hall.
The grounds are equally impressive (forest with deer, lake with the option to rent a boat for fishing, golf for enthusiasts).
01/11/2025: I’ve been to some nice hotels over the years, but the stand out feature of Dromoland Castle for me, is not the facility (which is super) but the staff. You would expect them to be professional, but they are far more than that. They are characters. Whoever manages this fine hotel, do not change how you recruit and train your staff. In the short two days I spent there, the staff were standout and good crack. Not overly drilled or devoid of personality.
Rory in the bar epitomised this, but was not alone .
All staff were happy and engaged.
Congratulations.

Milano
Ennis
19/09/2025: Above my expectations the pizza was super I really enjoyed it. I highly recommend it probably the best pizza in Ennis.
18/09/2025: The pizzas were delicious. The rest of the menu looked good, but we didn't try anything else. The staff was very attentive. It's a shame we couldn't go back; the kitchen closes around 9 p.m.

McDermott's Pub
13/10/2025: Amazing place, proper pub, great staff and the music was legendary.
10/10/2025: Wonderful pub with good live music and great food.
I had the Irish beef burger, which tasted really great.
Unfortunately, I had to be rushed to the hospital the next day. I had to recover from severe food poisoning, which caused violent cramps.
I can't say for sure whether it was caused by the burger and I don't want to attack anyone here.
Nevertheless, I wanted to share my experience and, until the moment I first vomited the following day, it was one of the best-tasting burgers I've ever had.
I hope I am/was the only one with such an experience.

Bunratty Manor
Bunratty
10/10/2025: Beautiful place, and very kind people. Bed is super comfi.
08/10/2025: Have a comfortable stay in a spacious, clean, and well-stocked room. Breakfast was delicious, and our evening night-cap was the perfect end to a long day of adventuring in the west coast of Ireland. Every one of staff was so kind, welcoming, and hospitable... It is no wonder this spot is so well loved and respected by locals and tourists alike!

McGann's Pub
16/10/2025: Great decor
Great atmosphere with real musicians
Very good food
I recommend it!!!
16/10/2025: Had some French Onion soup after a cold and windy trek along the cliffs. A lovely man with a dad-like energy warmly welcomed us into the bar. Friendly small town energy at the pub! When we were looking through the menu, another waiter came out and told us we could wait for the dinner menu to come out in a few min which was better. He adjusted our orders such that it was easier for us to share the food even though it was more troublesome for him. Had some divine French onion soup and it had a vegetarian base! Would happily come back here for the food and the vibes!
