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 centre 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, whilst Connemara and the Aran Islands provide some spectacular options for day trips. In the evenings, whilst you admire the views of the pretty winding streets of Ennis and the rugged beauty of County Clare and the West of Ireland beyond, inside the Old Ground Hotel you can relax by the warmth of the blazing fire.

Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 9.7 for a two-person trip.
