We stayed here at the end of our vacation and needed a nice place to settle in near the airport before our departure from Shannon. Bunratty Castle Mews offered the perfect spot. We were able to explore the nearby castle and folk park (plus Durty Nelly's) by foot. Just as the other reviews suggest, Dolores offered us a hearty and warm authentic Irish welcome. It was a quiet & relaxing stay with a delicious breakfast to send us on our way back to the states. The proximity to the airport was convenient and this offered a welcome alternative to the airport hotel. It allowed us to savor our vacation one final night.
