During our stay in late April/early May this hotel then known as the Clare Inn was undergoing a rebranding and renovation. Painters and other trades were active and this work was much needed with some things quite tired ot broken, e.g. a guest's non functioning washing machine. None-the-less we had a good value for money stay and the staff were... More

The hotel was extremely busy on the weekend we stayed there. There is a lot of signage pointing to refurbishment but we didn't see any work being undertaken. The room itself was basic but spotless clean. The bar area was nice and the restaurant meal was lovely. All staff members were extremely helpful. The mini golf area and playground need... More

Just got back from a fabulous weekend in the Inn at Dromoland. The room was so bright and airy and beautiful view first thing in the morning.

Stayed here while attending a wedding at Dromoland castle. Its a clean warm hotel with excellent staff for whom nothing seems too much trouble. It was good value at around 80 pounds a night for a family room that would comfortably sleep 2 adults and 2 children. Great location close to Shannon airport and with a lovely view over a... More

We've stayed at the Clare Inn before some 3 years ago and wanted to see if there had been any remarkable improvements. Unfortunately, no! The reception and ground floor are in the process of a make-over but the rooms and the general condition of the hotel is quite disappointing. There is another name change but the hotel is still suffering.... More

Driving up to the grounds and entrance we thought the reservation we made online was worthwhile, but we were sorely mistaken. We were looking for something close to Shannon airport, but should have paid better attention to the reviews. The interior is quite old, service was mediocre at reception and in the pub. Room was acceptable but very outdated. We... More
