Review of Dunraven Arms Hotel

We stayed at the dunraven our last night in Irelan...

We stayed at the dunraven our last night in Ireland. We were flying out of Shannon the next day. First thing I noticed about the hotel is how old it is and you could smell the age throughout all the wonderful hallways. Looking at the royalty that had stayed the night before such as prince Harry and Michael Douglas showed me what a special place we had found.

Only problem was each outlet had its own light switch bit I assume this is meant to save energy, and was only a minor inconvenience.

We had a few pints in the hotel bar which was relatively empty. There was some Gaelic sports on the telly that were absolutely mesmerising. I asked the barkeep what it was and he informed me it's called Gaelic Football. To me it seemed a mix of soccer, rugby, hurling, and dodgeball. Quite lovely. The rooms were very nice bit I don't understand why none of the hotels had sheets. I found the big comforter too hot and that was my only option to keep warm at night. This was the case at all hotels we stayed in Ireland and not just the dunraven. We didn't stay at the dunraven too long but it was an overall great experience and we had no trouble getting to Shannon and catching our flight out the next day.
