Falls Hotel & Spa

Falls Hotel & Spa is a four-star riverside hotel at Glencree, Castlequarter, Ennistymon, County Clare. The property sits beside the River Inagh, with 50 acres of woodland, riverside paths and grounds that include wildflower areas supporting pollinators. The setting combines a country-house atmosphere with access to the services and cafés of Ennistymon, a short walk from the hotel.

Accommodation includes standard, superior and deluxe rooms, suites and self-catering options. An Teach Lacha provides an additional self-catering choice, while the range of room types suits short breaks, longer stays and occasions that call for extra space. The hotel also provides facilities for weddings, meetings and events.

Dining is available at Cascades Restaurant, with afternoon tea and drinks served through the hotel’s food and beverage areas. The Dylan Thomas Bar takes its name from the family connection between the former manor house and Welsh poet Dylan Thomas, through his wife, Caitlin McNamara. This gives the bar a literary association rooted in the building’s past without taking away from its role as a relaxed hotel meeting place.

Relaxation is a central part of the property, with the River Spa and Aqua & Fitness Club offering treatments, leisure facilities and space for wellbeing breaks. The hotel’s wider setting also supports outdoor-focused stays, with nearby options including Burren walks, cruises, golf, surfing and kayaking. Children’s activities are also listed among the available local pursuits.

Sustainability forms part of the hotel’s identity. A hydro turbine on the river produces renewable electricity for the property, while environmental measures include wildflower planting, pollinator support and other green initiatives. The grounds provide an easy starting point for walks beside the river and through the woodland.

The hotel is positioned for exploring the west Clare coast and nearby landscapes. Lahinch and its beach are around a five-minute drive away, while the Cliffs of Moher and the Burren Geopark are accessible by a short drive. The Loop Head peninsula lies in the other direction, making Falls Hotel & Spa suitable for spa breaks, coastal touring, family stays, weddings, meetings and activity-based visits.
