Lickaun Lodge is the best place to stay in County Clare. It’s not just overnight accommodations—it’s a magical destination in and of itself, due to the careful planning and graciousness of its host, Tina. If you want an authentic Irish experience and not simply pedestrian accommodations, this the place for you. Like Tina, the property and grounds are full of life—gardens, flowers, green grass, horses, the sweetest cat and kittens, and the two happiest doggies greeted us each day! Tina has an eye for details, and makes sure you have more than what you need. From the pristine linens and sheets to the lovely home-baked goods and the comfortable furnishings—the lodge is beautifully designed and appointed. We wanted for nothing during our stay. Tina is the most thoughtful, generous and attentive host who was very respectful of our privacy while being completely receptive and available. We cannot recommend this beautiful host and place more. Thank you, Tina.
