Sheedys Country House Hotel

Sheedys Country House offers a wonderfully idyllic escape on the edge of the Burren. Dating in part from the 17th century, this house has a truly intimate atmosphere.

This is the oldest house in the village of Lisdoonvarna. John and Martina are your hosts at this country inn hotel, where the Sheedy family have welcomed guests for over 300 years. The hotel's location in Lisdoonvarna, halfway between Killarney and Connemara and one hour from Shannon Airport, makes it an ideal base to explore the Cliffs of Moher, Aran Islands, Aillwee Caves, Doolin and Lahinch. There is much to do in the Burren and the library is the perfect place for relaxing and planning your day. A warm personal service, with local knowledge of the region, is offered to help make your stay in the area pleasant and refreshing.

Area information

The Spectacle Bridge (3 km) - The bridge spans a deep narrow gorge through which the Aille River flows. As it had to support the road at the top, a double arch forming a circular opening was built above the lower arch, giving the bridge its unusual and unique 'spectacle' appearance.

The Cliffs of Mohar (6 km) - These majestic cliffs rise from the Atlantic to a height of nearly 200 metres and extend for a distance of 8 km from Hag's Head to beyond O'Brien's Tower.

Aran Islands (15 km) - Situated in the middle of Galway Bay, the rugged, natural beauty along with thatched roof stone cottages dot the islands. Throughout the islands, you will find ruins of early monasteries, fortifications and many churches.
