About Old Ground
A former manor house dating back to the 18th century, this ivy-clad residence has been totally refurbished to provide the warmth of a country home with the style of a luxury hotel.
Located in the centre of the attractive medieval town of Ennis, the hotel provides an ideal starting point from which to explore the famous attractions of Ireland's west coast.
The Burren, Cliffs of Moher, Ailwee Caves and Bunratty Folk Park are all within easy reach, whilst Connemara and the Aran Islands provide some spectacular options for day trips. Shannon International airport is just 20 minutes by car and both Limerick and Galway city are within 1 hour's drive.
The hotel has an atmospheric bar that is popular with locals and guests alike and often has live music at weekends. A wide range of drinks are served as well as an extensive and good value bar menu.

The hotel has two other dining options: the atmospheric Town Hall Restaurant serves delicious morning and afternoon teas with home-baked scones and cakes and then transforms into a highly-rated creative dining restaurant in the evening.

Theresa
Beautiful hotel. Staff was extremely helpful at check in/check out, as well as in Bar and breakfast area. I will definitely be back!
Timothy
The people were lovely, the grounds were beautiful. There were some very minor maintenance issues. Poets Corner is very nice and the women waiting on us were top notch.
Christopher
Great place to stay in Ennis. Convenient to everything and has air conditioning
Christina
Beautiful old hotel in charming Ennis
Marlece
Location was excellent, delicious breakfast.
Liam
Clean room-fantastic staff
Tim
Ennis is a beautiful village and Old Ground is right in the middle. Poet's Corner is excellent. My wife said her meal was the best of any meal she had on a 2 week visit to Ireland and Scotland. Bed slept like a dream. Staff was helpful. Ever a property cat at the door to welcome you to the hotel.
Thomas
The staff was amazing on check-in. They took care of all our needs.
Roberta
The hotel was a delightful surpise; charming architecture and decor with several lounge rooms and 3 restaurants off the reception area. Our room, though not “large” was bigger than most rooms on our trip, including luxury hotels we stayed in. It was immaculately clean and well furnished with a small refrigerator, small dining table, comfortable chairs, and desk area. It is an older hotel but renovated well. It was quiet even though our room was off a large, beautiful lawn area where guests enjoyed drink and food outdoors, and we didn’t hear guests in adjacent rooms. (I did feel that the mattress was too soft and resulted in a bit of pain in my 77 year old back through the night.) The staff was amazing in their professionalism and efficiency! The restaurant was full of character and, though very busy, there was an abundance of wait staff, who were so pleasant and attentive. The food was excellent. The train station was an 8 minute walk for us (and we are 77 and 80 years old!) It is about a 20 minute drive to Shannon Airport. We used the hotel for an overnight stay so that we could take a boat tour from the town of Doolin to the Aran Islands and the Cliffs of Moher. We took a bus from the train station out to Doolin (1 hour ride) and a 45 minute taxi ride back to The Ground Hotel in Ennis after our delightful boat tour.
Greg
Great service, very good location, good dining and drink options at the hotel, and a very nice room with comfortable bed. All good!
Mary
We loved this hotel. The location is terrific, comfortable beds, spacious and spotless bathroom, the restaurant food and the kind staff helped us navigate the hotel and town.
We will stay at this hotel each time we go to Ireland!
Wonderful!

Loved staying in a place with a history. Breakfast was great (although it could be hard to get a second cup of coffee). And the attached restaurant was very nice.
Our bathroom had a drip in the shower and although we told the staff multiple times, it did not get fixed during our stay. We slept with the bathroom door closed.

This is an amazing hotel in the heart of Ennis. Beautiful rooms, wonderfully helpful staff and excellent food! We highly recommend!!
Samantha
Love the property. Check in was great and check out was a breeze. Breakfast was excellent and the property gorgeous
Laula
Loved the atmosphere, and the hotel cat!
Patrick
When arriving to the property turn into the 1st driveway. It's not marked and Google maps takes you to the 2nd driveway which is an exit only.
Staff was very friendly and inviting. Rooms were clean but you might have to walk up a 1/2 flight of stairs depending on where your room is.
The Poets Corner bar has an excellent selection of rare Irish Whiskey. There was no trad music this night but the atmosphere more than made up for it. Highly recommend if your looking for somewhere quiet and not in a larger city.

Loved the traditional decor. Bed was very comfy but the room was hot & there was only one small window in the bathroom that opened.
Nothing was too much trouble for the staff, friendly & helpful.
The food came very quickly so I felt a bit rushed but it was very good.

Lovely relaxing stay. All the staff were very polite and professional. The hotel looks tired in places and could do with a make over but still in keeping with the old building. Food wasn’t great in the bar area. Food very bland and very limited menu.

Staff excellent well trained and attentive. Breakfast was good and food in dining room lovely and well presented in a beautiful room. Bedroom was large but poorly lit. The windows had curtains but no nets so you had to close the curtains so no one could see in.Nowhere to put makeup on as poor light and bathroom although lovely had nowhere to put makeup down. Nowhere to put soap bag.

Staff were all fantastic, food in the pub was fab .
Only down side was the TV, they seem to have some system that dose not allow you to watch all the channels that are listed , ie i picked Film 4 and it would revert back to some rubbish channel and the same for other channels

The hotel itself is quite a historic building and I do like the atmosphere. The bathroom was modern and shower very good. However, no toilet roll holder and soap/shampoo dispensers not working.
Food was ok, nothing spectacular. Though my server was really pleasant and friendly.
Down side was the lift was broken and i had to haul baggage up stairs with no offer of help from reception. The heating in the room was not working and windows were not closing, which meant it was cold (even with a portable heater)

Had a wonderful stay at the Old Ground Hotel in Ennis. From the moment we arrived, everything felt welcoming and well looked after. The hotel is full of character, beautifully maintained, and the service was warm, professional, and attentive throughout.
The absolute highlight of our stay was the resident cat—incredibly friendly and affectionate, always ready for a cuddle. It added such a special, heart-warming touch to an already lovely experience.
A charming hotel with exceptional hospitality (and the sweetest furry host!). Would happily return and highly recommend it.

The Old Ground Hotel for service and comfort.
The staff at The Old Ground Hotel were simply amazing. The most wonderful hospitality was granted to us and it stands out in my experience across any hotel I’ve stayed in, in a long time. In fact I picked The Old Ground as I had stayed here for a family reunion exactly ten years ago. We arrived late and then could not drive through Ennis due to diversions. The desk staff not only guided us in through the town to their car park in real time, but managed to get us a very last minute and late evening table for 4 in their bistro, accommodating a tired and hungry family who were making a pit stop before flying from SNN the next am. The team made check in easy. Made sure we got all we needed at dinner including off menu options and then made sure we got checked in and up to our rooms. Similarly the next morning, a delicious breakfast, warm greetings and wonderful service! Outstanding staff and experience. We can’t stop talking about it. Thank you.

The bed was cloud-like- So comfortable all night! Loved the pub for dinner. Our breakfast was beyond our expectations. Courteous smiling staff, attentive service, and delicious food choices ! Definitely would come again!
Katherine
I especially enjoyed the large room we were upgraded for the night. It was fantastic!!
Chris
Based on reviews, and compared to other properties on our trip, I expected a bit more. There was no help with bags at reception and no elevator to help manage suitcases, so we had to navigate some steep stairs.
Dinner was delicious but breakfast was just ok. Service staff was hit or miss with some very delightful people and others that were almost dismissive.
The bathroom shower was downright hazardous as it required standing in a slippery bathtub - there was a runner mat but it slid around and was worse than nothing.

Logan
This property is centrally located with pedestrian only streets directly out the back door (the pub door is on the main road!) The beds were comfy and room was clean. We loved being greeted by OG, the cat! Staff were excellent. All in all, a great stay and base for exploring county clare!

I travel a lot and this is one of the nicer hotels I've stayed in. The bed was very comfortable, the room spacious. The breakfast was quite good and worth the money. If I had to nitpick I did try to get coffee separate from breakfast and it took three staff members and 20 minutes. The hotel is right by a lot of pubs, food, and other options. I would recommend this hotel to anyone.
zoe
Love this hotel . The beds are incredibly comfortable and the rooms spacious. The staff are very friendly.
Scott
This cozy historical hotel took me back in time. The attention to detail and the attentive staff truly was a magical experience. The restaurant and pub on site was an added bonus.
The only negative which I assume has to do with the age of the hotel is the water pressure in the shower. One doesn’t need to wash their hair everyday— so no real problem. If you want to be treated with supreme kindness and feel like you are transported back in time, you must stay here.

I liked the spaciousness of the room.
I did not like that my room windowed onto a parking lot and school that had floodlights shining at night.
I also did not appreciate the actions of one of the administration team (Manager or owner)on the Wednesday morning of my stay

Greeted by OG, the hotel's little mascot was lovely. He's a little cat btw and he/she is all over the Instagram page of the hotel.
Very warm welcome by the receptionist and such a beautiful hotel throughout. Will be back!

The Old Ground brings casual and fine dining and amenities together flawlessly. We ate at the Poets Corner and listened to Trad Irish music all evening.
Gail
We chose The Old Grounde Hotel for our first two days upon arrival from the US and it did not disappoint. It set the standard with extremely attentive staff, beautifully maintained historic rooms and the most delicious dinner in their Town Hall restaurant with impeccable service.
Highly recommend!

The entire experience was excellent.... it was my first time in Ireland and I love being immersed in the old world charm, accommodating staff, excellent food in pub, convenience to everything in town and the well designed and comfortable rooms that had all of the comforts of home.....the lobby and surrounding areas were always filled with guests to either talk with or listen to music their !!. I highly recommend the accommodations and can't wait to return 😊 !!!
Janet
Nice location, beautiful interior, charm of yesteryear! Were able to get a second night in the same room we booked for the first night ( it was a last minute decision to stay a second night) and the team shuffled things around so we didn’t have to change rooms.
Really liked this place. Old world charm
