The property was absolutely gorgeous. The location was fabulous as well. We enjoyed the pub that was attached and would be back. We didn’t live so far away! I would highly recommend that any traveler who is driving to see the cliffs of Galway, stop for a night at your hotel!
United States of AmericaThe staff were absolutely lovely, and they even gave us a free upgrade to a suite, as it was both my friend's birthday and the 20 year anniversary of us first traveling together overseas. Completely unexpected and unasked for. They provided a map and gave us tips for where to go for tea. The room was very clean, water pressure in the shower was amazing, and the location can't be beat. One of the highlights was OG, the resident cat, who has a comfy bed in the entry and greets visitors. She was adorable. The hotel restaurant (the fancy one, not the Poet's Corner pub) had delicious food at reasonable prices, and they were able to get us in within 10 minutes without a reservation (perks of traveling in March).

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 center of the attractive medieval town of Ennis, County Clare, 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, while Connemara and the Aran Islands provide spectacular options for day trips.
In the evenings, while admiring the views of the pretty winding streets of Ennis and the rugged beauty of County Clare and the West of Ireland beyond, you can relax by the warmth of the blazing fire inside the Old Ground Hotel.
Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.6 for a two-person trip.
