OLD GROUND

A former manor house dating back to the 18th century, this ivy-clad residence has been totally refurbished to provide the warmth of a country home with the style of a luxury hotel. Located in the centre of the attractive medieval town of Ennis, the hotel provides an ideal starting point from which to explore the famous attractions of Ireland's west coast. The Burren, Cliffs of Moher, Ailwee Caves and Bunratty Folk Park are all within easy reach, whilst Connemara and the Aran Islands provide some spectacular options for day trips. Shannon International airport is just 20 minutes by car and both Limerick and Galway city are within 1 hour's drive. The hotel has an atmospheric bar that is popular with locals and guests alike and often has live music at weekends. A wide range of drinks are served as well as an extensive and good value bar menu. The hotel has two other dining options: the atmospheric Town Hall Restaurant serves delicious morning and afternoon teas with home-baked scones and cakes and then transforms into a highly-rated creative dining restaurant in the evening. The O'Brien Room dining room offers a fabulous menu of locally sourced, seasonal produce. Bedrooms are comfortable and spacious with high quality beds and modern bathrooms. There are plenty of comfortable lounge areas and guests can relax by the warmth of a blazing fire. Free WiFi is available throughout the hotel and free parking also. A highly recommended hotel for guests wishing to experience genuine Irish hospitality and fine food in a relaxing and welcoming environment.
