26/01/2026: From the moment we arrived we were treated with elegance and professionalism. Richard saw to our luggage, showed us to our rooms, and explained everything to us. Rita checked us in and went out of her way to accommodate our sleeping arrangements. The entire experience was so refreshing and beautiful. Highly recommend Dromoland Castle.

29/10/2025: Charming restaurant with delicious food. I was there at the end of July with my mother staying within walking distance of the restaurant, and it was one of the best meals we had during our 5 day trip in Ireland.

27/10/2025: Service was great . Fish (was light like a cotton) & chips was very tasty. Soup of the day super. Atmosphere was very cosy

03/02/2026: First time in We were on the way home from a funeral All 8 of us loved our meal Great Service all the food was served together all hot and delicious 😋 Excellent Value We will definitely be in again

04/11/2025: Excellent food (the VERY best in Ennis! And yes I'vebeen everywherehere aha) excellent service! The featherblade just melts in your mouth! Their steak? Surreal! And their staff always take such great care of us. We've been there 3 times and we'll keep coming back!

04/12/2025: Went here for food and drinks on a trip shortly after getting married this summer. The food and service were incredible. We loved every moment of it. When we told them we'd just gotten married, they gave us a free drink. So generous. Will be back every time in the area.

30/11/2025: Great experience, we were 3 people and all tried Irish Stew and it was really delicious and big portions. Everything was great, including the staff.

10/01/2026: Rooms are basic but comfortable. There is no elevator to access the rooms on the second floor so if you have mobility issues or can't carry your luggage up the stairs, you should request a ground floor room when booking. Staff is very friendly and helpful. The location is ideal, walking distance to Bunratty Castle and a couple of restaurants, though the restaurant on-site serves delicious food.

15/12/2025: Great location Great Food Great Host

15/01/2026: Visiting Doolin in the very quiet month of January, McGanns was one of the few places open serving food. We went for lunch after a brisk cliff walk and loved the seafood chowder and vegetable soup. The Guiness and Irish coffee was great too. Service was friendly welcoming and efficient, and the fire burning was warm and cosy.

06/01/2026: Food was amazing and service was great! Nice decorations inside and there is free parking out back.

27/11/2025: This is a big cold, but they have the best sausage roll in all of Ireland. No greasy, or cheap sausage meat…full of rich flavour and delicious flaky pastry. The Portuguese Pastel de Nata, straight out of the oven was better than any I have had in Portugal…well at least as good as! Great coffee as well! Friendly people!

30/10/2025: Pleasant surprise finding baked goods of such high quality in such a small town, great coffee too!

09/01/2026: Had lunch fast friendly service.Went for the vegetarian option very nice. Nice place to dine in Ennis would recommend.

07/01/2026: Ordered the steak with a couple of beers to wash it down. Steak arrived fairly quick and cooked to perfection. Sides and sauce were delicious and well presented. More than enough food on the plate and the live music will a reasonably full pub made for a very good atmosphere. Great night

28/10/2025: Had dinner here during a trip to Ennis was awesome

27/10/2025: We had a meal there last night and it was terrible. The food was very cold and very expensive for the quality of the food.

06/01/2026: We had a wonderful meal...a lovely evening near the cliffs. Excellent live music.

02/01/2026: Have been here a couple of times , the food , the music , and of course the criac are all unbeatable here , my favourite places to go when I’m in lahinch ! And the aul fella in behind the bar always looks after us, Glen is his name I think

05/12/2025: Always a great experience going to Danny Mac's. Food is good, service is good, always able to get a seat. At least in the off season.

03/11/2025: We visited as a group of 7 whilst visiting Co Clare on a short break. Our experience was mostly very good, the chowder was excellent, the vol-au-vents, pasta dish and fish were very good, however the burgers were dry and chewy, edible non the less but the only downside.

04/01/2026: One of the Best Eateries, Great Menu, Top Chef and Fantastic Staff.. Don't miss this Experience..

02/01/2026: Amazing food ! Pints of Guinness I can stand behind and sound staff ! Sure what else do ya want

19/11/2025: Dodi Cafe offers really delicious coffee specialties and a great breakfast burger. Cozy place, friendly service. Highly recommended!

17/11/2025: Really good! Had a great, proper espresso and the loaded sourdough that I had was amazing, so flavourful and well spiced. It was a real standout meal on my Ireland trip!

02/02/2026: We went for dinner, the food is very good but honestly the price is higher than the quality-to-quantity ratio. I imagine you're paying for the location and the views. The fish burger, given the description and price, is expected to be more spectacular, but it's very good, as is the fish and chips. The staff is very friendly and the place is beautiful.

01/02/2026: We had an overwhelmingly positive experience at Monks. Fabulous rooms, clean and modern. King size beds with comfortable mattresses guarantee a good nights sleep. The location is amazing and the hotel has views across the harbour from the rooms and the bar/ restaurant. The staff gave us a warm welcome and all were very helpful during our stay. The restaurant was equally fabulous, it is head and shoulders above any of the others in the locality. We come to this area often due to family commitments, going forward we will only stay at Monks availability permitting.
