Touring around County Clare with the family in August 2007, we were struck by just how distinctively individual so many of the county’s attractions are. The Burren Perfumery. Aillwee caves.

The Magnetic Music shop and café in Doolin. The Burren Smokehouse. Unglert’s Bakery. O’Loclainn’s bar. The list of wonderful idiosyncrasies could fill this page, but we mention them because Allen Flynn’s excellent hotel, The Old Ground, fits in perfectly with all these sports of nature in this lovely county.
The OG is an hotel where they look after you. Where comfort comes before style, but where there is also style aplenty. It is a place where kindly ladies serve you breakfast and call you “Dear”, and we can never get enough of that. It is a place where there is true and generous cooking in their bistro, the Town Hall Café. In short, it has what every hotel needs, but it also has character, tradition, history, charm, and welcome, all in abundance. It’s a classy place, in a classy place, a place that embraces you with hospitality, makes you feel fine.
