Situated in Newtown, 5 minutes’ drive from Ballyvaughan and Galway Bay, The Waters Country House boasts over 40 acres of farmland at the foot of the Burren Hills. Ailwee Cave, also featuring an underground river and a waterfall, is only 3km from the property.

With free parking, this guest house offers easy access to the stunning Irish countryside. Corcomroe Abbey, an early 13th-century Cistercian monastery, is 20 minutes’ drive away. This property is the most beautiful, majestic space with breathtaking architecture. It is nestled into a hill with views of The Burren and the sound of flowing water is around every corner. There are several inviting common areas complete with fireplaces and the feeling of contemplation and peace. We topped off our eve with a whiskey at the “help yourself” bar. The next morning we visited the Ailwee Caves (a must see) and the 16th century tower house called Newtown Castle which is part of Burren College of Art - there was true student talent. Both places are a short walk or drive from The Waters Country House. This is a one of a kind B & B NOT to be missed and Wolfgang and Maria are the most gracious proprietors!

4 miles from Shannon Airport, Bunratty Manor is a small family-run hotel, just a 5-minute walk from Bunratty Castle and Folk Park. The Manor Restaurant serves local game and seafood.

En suite, spacious rooms offer a home-from-home style atmosphere and have orthopaedic beds. There are tea/coffee making facilities and free Wi-Fi in all rooms. Free parking is also available. Easy access. Parking in front. Not a huge property and that’s what I like about it. Wonderful staff. Amazing food.

The Cliffs of Moher Hotel is a contemporary boutique hotel situated in the fishing village of Liscannor, Co. Clare, just a few kilometres from the world-famous Cliffs of Moher on one side and the surfing & golfing seaside town of Lahinch on the other. Stay here... nevermind how close it was to the cliffs of Moher (10 min). This hotel is amazing. It was like staying in a museum with every book on Ireland and county Clare displayed and available to read next to a nice fire on the most comfortable chairs i have ever sat in. The staff was great. Very attentive. You can't beat the location. I will be back.

Shannon Airport is less than 15 minutes’ drive from this bed and breakfast.

There were a variety of different breakfast options and the food was just delicious. We enjoyed the short walk to the castle, the folk park and the village. Beat of all were the lovely hosts and Sinead made us feel so welcomed. I cannot recommend this stay enough and certainly hope to return in the future to explore the area more.
