Best Spa Hotel in Clare

After a long and lovely trip to Ireland (my first) it was delightful to spend a quiet day and night at the hotel in anticipation of an early morning flight. Well rested, I was delighted by assistance (I have limited mobility) all the way from the hotel across the parking lot pathway to the airport. It was the epitome of compassion and kindness, exhibited throughout Ireland, but as a final reminder of the warmth and generosity of the Emerald Isle.

Always come here, love the hotel and the staff, the lady behind the bar is a dote. This time when I came back the hotel had gotten a facelift but as you can see in the picture the bar stools were nowhere to be seen. This is disappointing as I like to sit at the bar while watching the soccer matches. You should always be able to sit at the bar in Ireland it’s fundamental part of the culture. Please bring them back.

On the 10th of August we were on holiday in Clare, we had travelled along the coast via Lisdoonvarna and Fanore. Circa 1.30pm we arrived in Ballyvaughan and decided to have something light to eat as we were booked for dinner later in Ennis. We popped into Hylands and decided to go for the bar menu. My wife and I went for the toasted special at 10.50 euro each. The young server was a very pleasant girl from Carron. My son went for a chicken dish. When the sandwiches came they were compressed so tightly they looked disgusting, we couldn't make out what was inside the soggy bread. There was a bit of withered green leaves on the side and a spoon of what we think was some sort of cheap coleslaw. The presentation was appalling and how any chef could let this out of a kitchen defies all logic, says a lot for their culinary skills. We had to order chips separately at 4.50 a go and one potato would have covered what we got in a little silver pot. All in all it was one of the worst presentations of food we ever had, it was awful. I made my feelings known but all the girls could say was Sorry. I can honestly say I would never return to this premises and certainly would not recommend to anyone. Hylands need to get their act together and refrain from serving poor quality food at exorbitant prices. Many other reviews have had similar experiences but they continue to throw out this type of food.
