Travel Information

The best way to see Ireland is through traveling by car. It has numerous historical and cultural attractions, many of which aren’t included in commercial tours, and the beautiful landscapes make the car drive very pleasant and enjoyable. Hiring a car also gives you the freedom to define your itinerary and take as long as you like discovering and exploring an area. And some of Ireland’s best attractions—fishing spots, golf courses—are simply impossible unless you hire a car. Traveling through Ireland by car will also give you the opportunity to discover Ireland’s charming inns and family-run hotels. One such hotel is the Burkes Armada. Found on the seaside resort of the Spanish Point, it is the ideal stopover while taking car travels through the rugged cost of West Clare. The Burkes Armada has been in the Burkes family for 30 years, and the service you will find here bears the mark of traditional Irish hospitality. The rooms meet the highest standards, and have all the modern conveniences and comforts. You’ll also get an excellent view. The Burkes Armada’s seaside location, just off the edge of the coast overlooking the breaking waves and clear blue waters, is simply breathtaking. Guests can dine at The Flagship Bar, a traditional and intimate pub. Like the rest of the hotel, the place has a very cozy, warm atmosphere that is stylish without being stiff. There is also the Cape restaurant, whose exceptional cuisine is prepared daily by an award winning culinary team. The contemporary surroundings are also very elegant, and ideal for a quiet night of unwinding after a long and enjoyable car drive around the area. But the best thing about The Burke Hotel is its convenient location. It is just a short car drive away from the Burren National Park and the famous Cliffs of Moher—two must-see’s for anyone who is traveling through Ireland by car.
