Latest Ennis hotel reviews

Be prepared to be blown away by the magnificent arquitecture of Dromoland Castle, a fairly 'new' construction in Ireland with unbelievable gardens.
Take time for a coffee at the local restaurant (a bit pricy), enjoy!
It is also a hotel starting aroun 165 euros and up. Its worth it!

We were looking for the cathedral, took a wrong turning and found this lovely church. sometimes one can be glad that you get lost, cause that is when you discover other fantastic things that you might have missed. The disestablishment of the Church of Ireland from 1871 by an Act of Parliament led that Church to sell many of its estates and bishops' palaces, in the process laying off many Protestant workers who themselves then moved away. However the wealthy protestant William Murphy donated land outside the town centre for the building of this quaint church.

The River Fergus flows through Ennis, and our hostel was right next to the river. From our balcony we could watch the water run underneath, wondering where it was running through en-route to its end destination.

Walking through Ennis, you will get to O'Connell square with the monument to Irish nationalist hero Daniel O'Connell which stands atop a tall column, the site of the old courthouse where he won the Clare by-elections in 1828. You will see this monument from quite a distance.

The ancient Friary was adopted for use as a parish church (Church of Ireland) in 1615 for several united parishes, the ancient churches of these places being allowed to fall into ruin. The present church in Bindon Street (St. Columba's Church) was built on the Disestablishment of the Irish Church in 1896.

Nice to see that these old cathedrals are still being used. There must have been a wedding the day before our visit, as the flowers were still very fresh. It really gave a lovely look to the entrance of the cathedral as well as the inside.

What a lovely little town with many surprises for the traveller that is able to walk to explore. I loved all the "surprises" that was in waiting for us to discover. the architecture was stunning and those narrow streets fun.
