At the heart of the Wild Atlantic Way, just 10 minutes from the majestic Cliffs of Moher, the Falls Hotel & Spa is nestled in a wooded vale beside the tumbling waters of the River Inagh in the quaint town of Ennistymon, Co Clare, approximately 45km from Shannon Airport, at the gateway to The Cliffs of Moher & the Burren Geopark. Set on 50 acres of grounds, there are wonderful riverside and woodland walks.
Boosting conferencing facilities for up to 440 delegates, with a large conference room and four smaller meeting rooms, it is an excellent option away from an urban setting. With 143 bedrooms and seven two bedroomed apartments, it has ample space for those larger gatherings. The hotel has two dining options – both with wonderful views over the cascades – the Dylan Thomas Bar and their Cascades Restaurant.
The hotel is perfectly located to soak up all the wild natural attractions from Loop Head to The Burren & The Cliffs of Moher Geopark, and everything in between. The seaside town of Lahinch and the world renowned Lahinch Golf Club are a five minute drive from the hotel.
The award winning luxurious River Spa is a haven within the Aqua & Fitness Club – with a stunning relaxation room and wonderful thermal suite. The Club itself has a 20-meter swimming pool, Jacuzzi, steam room, hydro therapy pool, children’s pool, a sauna and outdoor hot tub overlooking the river and a fully equipped gymnasium.
The distinctive building conceals within its walls an eighteenth century mansion, a late medieval castle, and a formidable history of four and a half centuries. It was once the home of Caitlin MacNamara, who married the Welsh poet, Dylan Thomas. They spent some time in Ennistymon during their marriage and the main bar is named in his honour. The walls are adorned with photos of the family and the other interesting characters who once resided in ‘Ennistymon House’.
The hotel is privately owned and managed by the McCarthy Family and you will always receive a warm and friendly welcome.
