Drumcliffe Equestrian

Reviewed By stuartm951 - Dublin, Ireland

On holidays from Dublin for 4 days, one of the activities on top of my wife and daughters list was horse riding, so after reading the reviews of Drumcliffe equestrian, I decided to book online for the 3 of us and I was so glad we did. From the moment we arrived we were met with a friendly smile and witty banter from the man himself Pat. Pat is a character that makes you feel at ease straight. Helping Pat are his 2 daughters and a handful of other girls from the centre. Covid procedures are in place on arrival and once suited and booted, our horses were brought in and before we new it we were walking around the indoor arena learning the techniques and being led by Pats team. The horses are fantastic and very calm, our 7 year old had never been on a horse before and was loving Polly. Once we were confident enough, Pat took us out into the fields on our trek with his team, who were always in total control and we felt extremely safe throughout our trek. As you can see from the photos, my wife and daughter had a ball and are still talking about the experience and are already planning to take a day trip from Dublin to do it all again. If travelling to Clare, make sure to visit Pat at Drumcliffe Equesrian. You won’t be disappointed.

Woodstock Golf Club

Reviewed By NBVEnnis

We recently spent a night with our four children at Woodstock Hotel. From start to finish the service we received was excellent. The owners Elaine & Seán were a pleasure to deal with. Every member of staff we encountered from the leisure centre, reception, bar and restaurant were friendly, professional and very helpful both to us and to our children. The rooms were spacious, comfortable and very clean. We could not fault the hotel and really look forward to returning. Thank you to you all.
