Where to Stay in Co. Clare, Ireland

County Clare is one of Ireland's most visited destinations, and for good reason. From the dramatic Cliffs of Moher and the lunar landscape of the Burren to the vibrant town of Ennis and the traditional music pubs of Doolin, Clare has something for every type of visitor.

Types of Accommodation in Clare

Clare offers a wide range of accommodation to suit every budget and travel style. You'll find everything from luxury country house hotels to charming family-run B&Bs, self-catering cottages, glamping pods and cosy guesthouses. Many properties are independently owned, which means a more personal and authentic Irish experience.

Staying Near the Cliffs of Moher

If the Cliffs of Moher are on your itinerary, consider staying in the nearby villages of Doolin or Liscannor. Doolin in particular is famous for its traditional Irish music sessions and is within easy reach of the Cliffs, the Aran Islands ferry and the Burren. Accommodation here books up fast in summer, so plan ahead.

Accommodation in Ennis Town

Ennis, Clare's county town, is an excellent base for exploring the county. It has a good range of hotels, B&Bs and guesthouses in the town centre and on the outskirts. With easy access to major roads, Ennis puts you within reach of all of Clare's main attractions.

Self-Catering in Clare

Self-catering cottages and holiday homes are popular in Clare, especially for families and groups. Many are situated in scenic rural settings with excellent views of the Atlantic or the Burren. They offer the freedom to come and go as you please while living like a local.

Tips for Booking Accommodation in Clare

The summer months (June to August) see high demand, especially near tourist hotspots. Book at least 3 months in advance if you're visiting during peak season. Off-season visits (October to March) often offer better availability and lower rates, and Clare's wild landscapes are just as beautiful outside of summer.
