The Old Ground Hotel is a charming town house offering
elegant accommodation in the lively heart of Ennis, a town renowned for
its sense of history and Irish culture.
Clad in ivy and set within private gardens in the centre
of the town, the Old Ground is an attractive and distinctive sight in
Ennis. This old manor house, dating from the 18th Century, was once the
home of the leading landowners around Ennis; the Mahon family. When one
of its new owners John Mahon, returned from London to take over the family
home he was greeted with the words, ‘You are welcome to the Old
Ground Sir’. This name and the welcoming sense of hospitality have
been part of the Old Ground ever since.
Inside, the Old Ground is set with attractive homely lounge
areas warmed by glowing open fireplaces. Each of the guest rooms are wonderfully
appointed and stylishly designed, with a mix of restful colours, traditional
pine furnishings, and homely comforts together with all the usual facilities.
The Old Ground has two excellent restaurants; the O’Brien
Room in the heart of the hotel, a traditional homely setting for traditional
favourites and home cooked dishes and the fabulous Town Hall Restaurant,
one of the finest in Ennis, a modern chic affair serving contemporary
European cuisine.
The Old Ground also boasts one of Ennis’ most renowned
pubs, Poets Corner. Something of an institution in the town, this wonderfully
characterful bar is traditionally set and boasts some of the best traditional
music and craic, that Ennis has to offer.
County Clare is renowned for its musical heritage and
wonderfully atmospheric landscapes around the Burren and the Cliffs of
Moher. And Ennis and the Old Ground Hotel is an excellent base from which
to explore this part of Ireland.
