Ballinderreen Vacations from $948

The staff was super helpful and friendly and professional. Our view of Galway Bay was spectacular. We loved the long promenade across thebl street from us.

Doolin is a wonderful town to visit. If you value your privacy like my husband and I, then this is the best choice. We had a deck with a hot tub overlooking the hills and the ocean.

Nestled along the banks of the Shannon River, The Strand Hotel in Limerick is a true gem and my preferred sanctuary in Ireland. It masterfully combines an unbeatable location with impeccable service. From its exceptionally clean and charming environment to its staff—who radiate a blend of warm Irish hospitality, keen knowledge, and genuine helpfulness—every detail feels carefully considered. The city center is a mere two-minute stroll away, making it effortless to explore on foot. A standout feature is the secure underground garage, (at a cost of twelve euro a day) which offers direct, private access to every floor, allowing you the freedom to come and go with ease. Coupled with its wonderful food and outstanding overall service, The Strand Hotel is, without a doubt, Ireland's premier choice for an unforgettable and affordable stay.

It's a lovely little hotel on a quiet street near a park, a short walk away from lots of great food and drink -- faves include the Copper Room, the Glen Tavern & Freddies, and in the other direction, Bobby Byrne's. Also, as this is No 1 Pery Square, do go see the museum at No 2 Pery Square, so you know some of the history of the area.
