If you’re heading to Dromoland Castle, the drive there should feel like the stay has already started. Your certified professional chauffeur meets you at arrivals with your name card, your flight is tracked in real time so the timing is always right, and you travel in a modern Mercedes-Benz through the Irish midlands and into County Clare.
Door-to-door service, WiFi on board, bottled water, and 60 minutes of complimentary waiting time at the airport. No hidden costs after booking.
Two vehicle options are available depending on your group size and luggage: a standard saloon (carry-on bags plus 2 checked suitcases, or 3 medium-sized suitcases) or an MPV (up to 6 checked suitcases, or the equivalent in smaller bags).
This is a private transfer - just your group. Infant seats are available on request. Service animals are welcome. Suitable for all fitness levels.
Dromoland Castle sits on a 450-acre estate in Newmarket-on-Fergus, about 12 kilometres north of Ennis. The drive from Dublin takes roughly two and a half hours, passing through Limerick and into County Clare. Once you’re past the city, the landscape opens up and the road is pleasant. You’ll arrive at the castle gates feeling like you’ve crossed into a different Ireland.
The Burren is about 40 kilometres north of Dromoland. It’s a limestone plateau unlike anything else in the country - grey karst pavements, rare wildflowers growing in the cracks, and megalithic tombs dating back 5,000 years. The coastal section around Ballyvaughan is particularly accessible. It makes for an easy day trip if you have a car or can arrange a tour from the castle.
The Cliffs of Moher are around 55 kilometres from the castle. They rise 214 metres above the Atlantic at their highest point, and the walk along the cliff path in either direction gives you views back towards the Aran Islands on a clear day. The visitor centre there is well-run and worth stopping at if this is your first visit.
Ennis town is a short drive from Dromoland and worth an afternoon. It’s the county town of Clare, with good traditional music in the pubs most evenings and a lively market town feel. The Ennis Friary, founded in the 13th century, sits right in the centre. If you’re there in summer, you’re likely to hear music spilling out of more than one pub on the main street.
