Travel Information

Ireland’s Burren region is one of the favorite destinations for driving vacations. Its beautiful landscape make car travel pleasant, and several of the historical and cultural sites in the area are only reachable by car. The area is also known for its world class golf courses, making car hire crucial for avid golfers whose “driving vacation” entails clubs rather than cameras. If you are traveling through Burren by car, Sheedy’s Country House is a perfect place to stop for the night. Located at the edge of the Burren, the 17th century house has beautiful and comfortable bedrooms and suites. All of them have been individually designed—just one of the personal touches that make the service in Sheedy’s Country House so superb and memorable. Like the Burren region’s breathtaking landscapes, the gardens surrounding the hotel are an excellent place to enjoy nature and take in a rare moment of peace and quiet amidst the hectic pace of modern living. After a rejuvenating walk around its scenic grounds, guests can sample Sheedy's Country House award-winning cuisine. John Sheedy uses only the freshest ingredients, and has been awarded two RAC Dining Awards. The food has also been highly recommended by Fodors, the Good Food Guide and the New York Times. Sheedy’s Country House is a perfect base for golfers. Lahinch and Doonbeg are just a short drive from the hotel, and is highly accessible for those who hire a car. Other major tourist attractions are also within driving distance, such as the Cliffs of Moher, Aran Islands, Ailwee Caves and the popular village of Doolin (which is very famous for traditional Irish music). From Shannon Airport, tourists can approach a number of car travel agencies within the airport, hire a car, and take the short one hour car drive to Sheedy’s Country House.
