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.

Everything was great as always. The staff is very kind and professional. Housekeeping is top. Perfectly clean rooms, comfortable beds. Breakfast is fabulous, all choices are delicious. Hotel restaurants are among the best in Ennis. Hotel is right at the town center, best choice for a nice stay. I have been guest at the hotel many times, since more than 10 years, it never disappointed. With its old and authentic look, the nice sitting areas at the lobby, make one feel like home.

    Tadghs Cottage was the perfect place for us to stay as a family. The cottage was spotless clean, had all mod cons (wifi etc) & we loved how spacious & cosey it is. It is driving distance to all the local tourist spots (Cliffs of Moher, Father Teds House & The Burren to name a few. The location is so peaceful & we felt very safe too which is always good when you are away with small kids. Alan the owner was so lovely to deal with & always on hand if we needed anything. We would definitely stay here again.
