Living in Limerick has its advantages. Everywhere is a short driving distance. A few weekends ago my husband John and I decided to take a few days out of our busy working schedules and spend time as a family away from the hustle and bustle of the city. We decided upon a short weekend in the Ennistymon/Lahinch area of Co. Clare. My husband John’s family spend summers in Lahinch and after returning to Ireland last May we too fell in love with the area.

After deciding on a spot to visit we immediately knew where we would stay. The Falls Hotel and Spa in Ennistymon came highly recommended to us in the past so this was just the excuse we were looking for to stay overnight. We packed the kids (Colum, 2 and Sadie 11-months) into the car on a Saturday morning and headed to Clare.
