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.

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
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!

17/10/2025: Had a fantastic dinner at Byrne’s in Ennistymon. Food was top class. Coconut prawns appetizer was delicious. Main courses of Pork Belly and Roasted Salmon did not disappoint. Great location with views of the Falls.

McGann's Pub
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!
16/10/2025: Great decor
Great atmosphere with real musicians
Very good food
I recommend it!!!

Monks Ballyvaughan
Ballyvaughan
02/11/2025: Having stayed in a range of dog friendly accommodation across Ireland, I have to say this has been one of our very best experiences. The relaxed, 'home from home' atmosphere, fabulous setting and genuinely welcoming staff made for a truly memorable break.
Looking forward to our return trip already !

Vaughan's Anchor Inn
Liscannor
11/11/2025: This was a recommendation from Olin at the Cliffs of Moher hotel and a quick walk from there.
Looks like the menu changes frequently.
We started with the scallops and they and the barley were cooked perfectly. So good, I was amazed.
The venison and accompaniments were great. Though if you don't like rare meats, this might not be for you.
The bread pudding with butter ice cream finished off a great birthday meal.
I 100% recommend dining here.
My wife and I shared all the plates.
09/11/2025: We were pressed for time during an excursion, and the staff did everything they could to make sure we had time to eat quickly. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal; I highly recommend this establishment!
