Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
“A five-star castle hotel on a large estate between Ennis and Shannon Airport. A select number of rooms take dogs, booked through reservations. It suits anyone landing at Shannon who wants a big estate to walk before heading for the Burren or the Cliffs of Moher.

Dogs stay in a select number of dog-friendly rooms. The estate grounds, the lake and the walled gardens are open for walks, and the hotel provides estate walking maps. Indoor public areas and dining with your dog aren't confirmed, so ask before you go.

Where we can't yet confirm a detail first-hand, we mark it plainly rather than guess. A Daisy stay will close every gap.
