Charming Interior

My room was surprisingly spacious and very clean, with a clever 'secret' bathroom behind a full-size mirror. It added a unique charm to my stay and made the hotel feel truly special.

Personal Touch

After accidentally leaving my headphones at breakfast, the staff went above and beyond to retrieve them for me. This thoughtful gesture made me feel valued as a guest.

I had a fantastic stay at the Shamrock Inn! The staff were incredibly friendly and checked in on us frequently, making the experience even more enjoyable. The food was simply amazing, especially the breakfast, which offered a great variety and generous portions. The rooms were clean and spacious, although there were a few stairs to navigate which could be a challenge for some. The location was perfect for exploring the beautiful Clare coast, but I would love to see some improvements in the dining hours and options.
