Stayed here for two nights while we explored the Burren and used it as a jump-off point to…read moreKillarney.
This was quite a find. It very much has a bed and breakfast feel, to the point I'm surprised that's not how they bill themselves. The price absolutely can't be beat, either - friendly, personal service that you would expect from an establishment two or three times as expensive.
We arrived a bit late in the evening and were regardless greeted warmly. The rooms are cozily decorated with wood paneling. Plenty of space for your wardrobe, should you be taking an extended stay. The view out over the little creek out back was a treat to wake up to as well. It's a very calm, bucolic scene.
I highly recommend paying for breakfast in your reservation as well. It's very well priced. They do ask what time you plan to take your breakfast, so it will be freshly prepared. I found that having the expectation of being at breakfast helped motivate me to get my day started early, too.
Ennis is also well positioned for exploring the Burren. We did a lovely loop setting out toward Corofin, Kilfenora, the Cliffs of Moher, and back. No rush and back before it was late, with plenty of time to rest and explore more the next day.
Ardilaun Guesthouse is heartily recommended. I can't think of a bad thing to say about it, and I'm not inclined to try.
