Traditional Music in Doolin
Home of traditional Irish music, the beautiful, picturesque village of Doolin is just a short drive away – offering a picture postcard treat of brightly-painted cottages, traditional shops and lively Irish pubs. After dinner at the hotel there’s no better way to spend the evening than taking a drive down to the village to sample the craic – the music, song and dance you’ll find on offer in every pub.
The Burren Way
We’re a stone’s throw from the start of the beautiful Burren Way walking trail. This 123km linear trail takes you through the karst Burren landscape, taking 7 days/6 nights to complete. The trail travels inland from Lahinch to Doolin and via the town of Lisdoonvarna on to Ballyvaughan to the north. It then crosses the heartland of the Burren through the villages of Carran, and Corofin on the eastern side of the Burren.
