Put the kettle on and make a drink, unwind in the shared lounge, stroll around the riverside gardens or stoke up the barbecue ... and savour Ennis and the peace of the Clare countryside.

A stone’s throw from Shannon Airport, Ardilaun Guesthouse, in Ennis, is the perfect base from which to explore Ireland’s mid-west — the Wild Atlantic Way, the Cliffs of Moher, Doolin, the Burren, Bunratty Castle, Aillwee Cave, Lahinch, Lisdoonvarna and much more.
