Your Autumn Hideaway in the West of Ireland
Autumn in the West of Ireland has its own kind of magic. The summer crowds have melted away, the landscapes glow with golden and russet tones, and there’s a crisp freshness in the air that makes every walk, every view, and every cosy pub stop even more special. This is the season of slowing down, of discovering hidden corners, and of treating yourself to a well-deserved break.

Just minutes from Shannon Airport, our hotel is ideally located for a short escape or a longer stay. From the moment you arrive, you’ll find a warm Irish welcome, modern and comfortable bedrooms, and a team ready to make your break as relaxing as possible.
