Clayton Hotel Limerick

Park Inn by Radisson Shannon Airport

Dunraven Arms Hotel
The ONLY drawback to this hotel is the traffic… there is currently only one main road through the beautiful village of Adare and it is constantly gridlocked. The hotel sits right on the main road and if you have a room at the front you will hear traffic. We were told that they are building a bypass ...
