Falls

On the edge of Ennistymon in County Clare, a short drive from Ireland’s rugged west coast. About 2 km from Lahinch and close to Aillwee Cave, the Cliffs of Moher, the Burren and Doolin Cave — a prime base for surfing, sightseeing and nearby championship golf.

This hotel blends cozy bedrooms with self-catering apartments and charming cottages. Rooms come with LCD TV, tea/coffee facilities, direct-dial phone and hairdryer, while the Dylan Thomas bar lends a lively, literary vibe.

Relax in the indoor swimming pool, spa and sauna or keep fit in the on-site fitness centre. There’s a restaurant and bar plus room service — and the coast is close enough for sea-breeze mornings and easy surf days.

Meeting rooms are available for events and small conferences.

The on-site restaurant serves traditional Irish and international dishes, and the Dylan Thomas bar is perfect for a pint or a nightcap.
