Lovely relaxing stay. All the staff were very polite and professional. The hotel looks tired in places and could do with a make over but still in keeping with the old building. Food wasn’t great in the bar area. Food very bland and very limited menu.

10/10 Exceptional

Had a wonderful stay at the Old Ground Hotel in Ennis. From the moment we arrived, everything felt welcoming and well looked after. The hotel is full of character, beautifully maintained, and the service was warm, professional, and attentive throughout. The absolute highlight of our stay was the resident cat—incredibly friendly and affectionate, always ready for a cuddle. It added such a special, heart-warming touch to an already lovely experience. A charming hotel with exceptional hospitality (and the sweetest furry host!). Would happily return and highly recommend it.
