The best restaurantsof irish in Clare

02/10/2025: Myself and my two friends came for the weekend from Dublin and all three of us would highly recommend this hotel. Call greeted us on arrival and was so helpful and friendly. The rooms were clean, had fresh towels and nice and warm room. The breakfast and food was outstanding. The service we received in the restaurant was excellent. The girls were so friendly and i would highly recommend this hotel. Beautiful little town with the nicest people in it. The cleaners also refilled the little kitkats every morning in our coffee station which was such a lovely touch. We will defiantly be back. Thank you for a lovely stay.

28/05/2026: A lovely spot at the top of the street for a good lunch. Welcoming atmosphere and delicious food plus some grocery.

21/05/2026: Great selection of meats and prepared dishes. Super salad bar

03/06/2026: Overall, the hotel is nice. However , the location isn’t ideal if you want to be within walking distance of anything fun or cool. It’s on a golf course so it’s very relaxing , but boring. As far as the rooms, super outdated and inconsistent. We booked two rooms, one of them came with water and all the towels you would need. The other room didn’t have any water , and only two towels were provided. If you have to stay here in a pinch it’s okay, but I wouldn’t book here again. Not horrible, just not my favorite.

01/06/2026: We booked a last minute stay directly through the website as it looked on the surface to be excellent value; family of 4 for one night, bank holiday weekend, with breakfast for under €150, and access to the pool, which was our must have for visiting with 2 kids who love a pool. Lobby area is stunning, wide open and beautiful chandelier. We had a bit of a wander around and found that the ballroom area also was beautiful. It does feel more like a golf course with a hotel. We ate dinner in the bar with the kids; service was slow as it was very full with what seemed like both locals and hotel guests (positive sign) but not enough staff, but we got there in the end, and it seemed decently priced as well, which is good because the restaurant part did seem a bit excessively priced, and without the bar menu option, we absolutely would have eaten elsewhere. Breakfast the next morning was also good; not a massive selection, the usual fry up, 3 cereals, toast and pastries, but all good. The coffee was not good though, that needs addressing, as it was clearly granule coffee, and definitely too many granules, more like tar. A couple of things werent perfect with the fry up - fried eggs were all overdone, tomatoes a bit underdone, but overall it was good and filled a hole. The bread selection and sausages and bacon in particular were lovely. The pool in very convenient, all within the hotel itself, with changing rooms, showers, large pool, kids pool area, jacuzzi, all in good/great condition, and id go so far as to say the sauna is in excellent condition. The steam room was definitely struggling with the steam element, but it was ok. Kids had a blast. The room itself - this is why its so cheap. We stayed in room 106. Despite all the positives, the food, the pool, the lobby area, the room is a let down. The rooms are old and tired, and need updating. The carpet is musty, the windows old and a bit moldy, and the beds a bit lumpy. There is no air conditioning in the rooms. The bathroom is very tired; mold between tiles, stains in the tub, leak at the toilet. The biggest issue was two silverfish in the bathroom which to find was a big surprise, pointing to that there are probably a lot more. Must be living under the tub. I know how terrible these are to get rid off, but it has to be prioritised. No doubt they will, and I did immediately let the receptionist know, and she was going to get someone to attend to it immediately, but the kids were asleep so said leave it till tomorrow when we check out. The room wasnt clean. Found things under the desk and around the perimeter. I know its always rush rush rush to turn a hotel room around, but more care needs to be had with the rooms. Pics attached of the dirt/dead bug. So a mixed bag; good food, nice lobby, decent location, and Ive stayed in much worse, but to move it back to that next level, it needs a refurbishment of the rooms as soon as possible. The kids were happy and didnt know any better, and we made some great memories, but my experience is 'its fine' rather than 'definitely stay here'.

28/05/2026: Good food and good service, but a limited menu.

26/05/2026: Fabulous location, probably on the more expensive side but is located within Dromoland Castle grounds

25/04/2026: Great food lovely staff ok prices

11/04/2026: Room were nice and cosy,hot water took some time to come, Rooms have no sound proofing, breakfast was sad and really uneatable, nobody ever answered phone at reception, Reception staff can be over worked, tried / grumpy.

27/03/2026: We had food here.It was very nice.The house Chardonnay was poor and the man who seemed to be in charge was really smarmy so much so I jokingly asked him was he a Kerry man looking for business.But as I said I enjoyed the food….we didnt go back today.Returned to Lahinch a couple of months ago.The food here was top class.Big plates of perfectly cooked food.Exactly what you need after long walks.We will be back soon and will eat here everyday

24/04/2026: Caesar salad was not worth the price. Seafood chowder was good. Cash only when we were there for lunch, their machine was broken - wish they had told us before we sat, never a good surprise.

18/02/2026: Beautiful restaurant, the waitress (blonde woman with pink shoes) for lunch time was lovely!! Very professional and kind. Nice spot in Kilkee

10/11/2025: I've stayed here several times and it's always been an absolute pleasure, from the moment you walk in the door. Friendly staff, good food and a fantastic location, so close to the beach.

12/04/2026: Grand place for a quick bite, friendly service and staff

14/03/2026: Very friendly staff and lovely food

29/05/2026: Lovely food and only 100 metres from the beach which is absolutely beautiful

31/05/2026: Great food, great prices, great portions, great service

28/05/2026: I asked for a side salad and i got a big chunck of cowslaw and a bit of lettuce and a sandwish comes with 2 slices of bread and not 3 so next time use only 2 slices.

14/06/2026: I went here when they first opened to get a pizza and it was really really good, however I've just tried it again and it was bang average, actually below average if I'm honest. Also no price mentioned when I ordered drinks, only stick the card machine in my face, how do I know what I'm paying

06/06/2026: Great bar staff and good atmosphere but the bouncer made me feel uncomfortable and I feel as though the staff were treated unfairly

09/06/2026: Get the chicken curry. It's amazing!!

03/06/2026: Very nice lunch on a weekday, fish & chips & chowder were very good! Quiet place to relax & talk for lunch.

05/05/2026: Historic building. Great location, to walk the streets and discover fun shops, restaurants, and pubs. Fantastic service! Decor is a bit sad and old.

30/04/2026: Nice location in downtown Ennis. Smaller rooms. Lots of tour bus coming through.

16/05/2026: While staying in the area we visited the Irish arms once for lunch and next day for dinner while the food was good the service from one of the barmen was absolutely appauling. Everything was a bother. It was like we shouldn't have came in and God forbid ask for a drink that really was asking too much never encountered a more rude and unwelcoming attitude from a barman .Wish l had spent my money elsewhere.

26/04/2026: We stopped in here on our way back from the Cliffs of Mohrer to get a bite to eat. After two weeks, one in Ireland and one in Amsterdam, this was THE best meal I had!!! I had the roast of the day - turkey and ham - mashed potatoes and veggies with cabbage! My friend had the Guinness stew and said it was great!
