We are thinking of staying in Ennis one or two nights as a base to see the Cliffs of Moher, the Burren and Bunratty. Can anyone recommend a good B&B or castle?

Thanks -- Mes

this place is supposed to be very nice
http://www.clifdenhouse-countyclare.ie/. It's about 8 miles from Ennis.

We stayed at Rose Cottage B&B on Turnpike Rd. in Ennis. B&B was fine. I can't say the same for the Pub food.

In Ennis we usually stay in a Hotel (either Temple Gate or Old Ground). The Old Ground has some pretty good deals going on now - they've just added about 50-rooms.

We stayed at the Rose Cottage based on a recommendation here and we did not like it at all. The location was decent, but the pub below was smokey and it all seemed a little dingy. We left early. We went to the visitors bureau and inquired about lodging and they gave us a list of many places, almost all cheaper and they said much nicer than where we were staying. Didn't try any because we decided to leave the area a day early. But I would definitely NOT recommend Rose Cottage. Try contacting the visitors bureau or try checking on the Ireland Yes website or Ireland Expert web site. Very informative.

Thank you for your thoughts. I've found some recommendations for the Fountain Court on this website and made reservations there.
