The hotel is located on the beautiful coastline of County Clare and close to some of Ireland's most visited sites, including the awesome Cliffs of Moher, The Ailwee Caves, The Burren, Bunratty Castle & Folk Park, North Kerry and lots of beautiful coastal drives. Ennis town is nearby and Shannon International Airport is about 60 km away. The air-conditioned country house hotel is stylish and contemporary. Many of the 86 rooms have stunning views across the Atlantic Ocean. The informal, friendly atmosphere combined with the convenient facilities makes this hotel a favourite holiday destination. Each room has a special characteristic - some come with feather and down duvets, some with floor to ceiling windows with ocean views, and others with stylish artwork, natural colours and textures. What all rooms have in common is that each of them is fitted with contemporary amenities.
