The Play Inn at The Inn at Dromoland: the perfect addition to a Family Vacation

Nestled in the heart of 500 acres of breathtaking parkland, The Inn at Dromoland is more than just a beautiful place to stay – it’s a chance to create unforgettable Family memories. Located just a short drive from Shannon Airport, it invites families, couples, and adventurers alike to discover the beauty of County Clare. Wander the magical Burren walkways, savor fresh seafood in the charming village of Ballyvaughan, or feel the thrill of the waves in Lahinch. Stand in awe at the Cliffs of Moher, or lose yourself in the warmth of Doolin’s pubs taking in the soft lilt of Irish traditional music.

After a day of exploration, return to base, to the comfort of Shannigans Gastro Pub for a delicious meal, unwind in the pool and sauna, book a rejuvenating Spa treatment in The Castle Spa or simply enjoy a peaceful walk through the serene woods of Dromoland Castle Resort. The Inn at Dromoland offers the perfect backdrop for a memorable stay with the very best of Irish hospitality for family breaks, solo breaks and of course a magical setting for couples to explore both the Resort and County.
