Templegate Hotel, Ennis

Advantages: Not too big, Friendly and nicely situated
Disadvantages: Busy

The Templegate Hotel is situated in the centre of the beautiful town of Ennis, Co. Clare. Ennis is in the west of Ireland and one of the most beautiful towns you could visit. I had my wedding reception in this hotel so I have some good memories of it (despite being separated for my husband). The Templegate is not a huge hotel as it only has 70 bedrooms. But it does have a bit of a history. The hotel was built on the site of the Convent of Mercy ...
...does not seem very obvious until you get inside the hotel, but I will tell you more about that later. Before the hotel was a convent it was two houses that belonged to a Charles O’Connell, cousin of Daniel O'Connell a predominant political leader in Ireland at the beginning of the 19th century. Acorring to Templegate hotel he visited the area often. The hotel itself is in the heart of the town. It has the tourist information and Ennis museum next ...

Ballygally Castle-sleep with the lights on there's a ghost

Advantages: Relaxing, welcoming, friendly, lovely mix of old and new, real fires
Disadvantages: Parts are looking a little worn

...- - The Ballygally Castle is the only 17th Century building in Northern Ireland still being used as a residence today. The information on the website states that "Ballygally Castle was built in 1625 by James Shaw and his wife Isabella Brisbane. Over the main entrance door to the Castle, leading to the tower is the inscription "1625 - OD.IS.PROVIDENS.IS.MY.INHERITANS". Above this is a shield with the coats of arms of the Shaw and Brisbane families ...
...transport to get out and about as there is very little in Ballygally itself. Overall a homely feeling and lovely staff. Its nice to stay somewhere unusual even if you do have to sleep with the light on. Room prices from £120 per night including breakfast. ...

Whites Hotel Wexford

Advantages: location
Disadvantages: price

A good hotel based in the centre of wexford. It is close to the sea front about 5 mins walk, close to the theatre and it has nights of entertainment at the hotel too. The rooms are of a standard and it was clean when i visited it there, the hotel is close to public transport in the town. The hotel has a good bar and restaurant, although the menus may not be to everyones taste but there are plenty of restaurants in the town that provide choice. ...
...classed as family friendly but i did not see any families there at the time. the hotel has a cyrotheraphy centre where you can freeze in an ice chamber - supposed to help recover from injuries etc. The welsh rugby team have used the chambers as part of the recent pre season training. Other sport teams have used it apparently. the hotel is good but i would not recommend it highly. ...
