An Irish Tourist In Ireland
Posted in Blog by: LottieAugust 27th, 2009
The Boy brought me off to Bunratty on a whim last weekend for a bit of Irish culture.
We spent a whole day wandering the castle grounds and most of a night listening to the roof being raised in Durty Nelly’s bar. I so often forget the beauty we have right here on our door step and intend to make more of an effort to explore Ireland.
If you do go for a visit I highly recommend The Bunratty Castle Hotel too as it has the most amazing spa & leisure Center. I really didn’t want to leave.

I love Bunratty. Been there every year for the last 3 years.
Have never stayed in the hotel mind you but looks lovely!
Seems like you had a great visit.

@Peter – The hotel was great. They have a fab pool & spa, one of the most relaxing I’ve ever been in. I’ll definitely go back down.

I’ve never been to Bunratty and remember feeling woefully disadvantaged as a child because of it. Same with Fota Island. Muckross House though? Practically lived there. Pah.
