On the banks of Lough Derg, in Co. Clare, lies Killaloe Hotel and the new eco-friendly Sionna Spa. Each of the modern rooms here has a different name, all of which come from Brian Boru High King of Ireland’s ancestorial tree. The friendly hotel takes advantage of its waterside location with an alfresco dining terrace, providing barbecues in the summertime. And the wellness facility utilises Irish products wherever possible, offers carefully curated treatments. Killaloe and Ballina villages are both within walking distance.
