A Winter Escape to County Clare at Carrygerry Country House
For travellers from Great Britain or afar, seeking an easy winter break filled with dramatic scenery, traditinal Irish hospitality and excellent food, County Clare is an inspired choice. Staying at Carrygerry Country House makes the experience especially convenient: this peaceful rural retreat is less than ten minutes drive fromm Shannon International Airport, so your holiday can begin almost as soon as you land.
Built in 1793, Carrygerry House combines the character of an old world country house with the comfort of individually decorated en-suite bedrooms, Old World Furnishing, glowing fires and tranquil countryside create precisely the atmosphere many visitors want during the colder months. With only eleven bedrooms, the house also offers a more intimate and personal experience than a larger hotel.
Its Conservatory Restaurant, overlooking the surrounding countryside and River Shannon, is another compelling reason to stay. The kitchen champions local and organic ingredients, making dinner at the house a memorable part of your trip. After a Winter's day exploring County Clare and surrounding areas, returning to a warm fire and a good meal is a pleasure in itself.
Easy to reach from Great Britain
Shannon Airport has direct connections with Britain, although individual routes and frequencies vary by season. Its compact size makes arriving, collecting luggage and hiring a car relatively straightforward. Travellers should check the current Winter timetable before booking.
Carrygerry's location removes the need for a lengthy onward journey after the flight. It is equally convenient on departure day, particularly for an early flight, yet its quiet country setting feels far removed from the bustle of an airport. In fact, you cannot even hear a plane and would never think the airport was so close.
A hire car is the most practical way to explore rural Clare in Winter. Visitors should remember that Ireland uses kilometres and euros, while driving remains on the left.
County Clare without the Summer crowds
Winter reveals a quieter and more atmospheric side of Clare and surrounding counties. Popular viewpoints, coastal roads and heritage towns are generally less crowded, leaving more space to appreciate the landscape and meet local people. The lower winter light can be particularly beautiful across the Atlantic coast, the Burren and the Shannon Estuary.
Weather is part of the experience. Atlantic conditions can change quickly, but a flexible itinerary makes this an advantage: enjoy outdoor sights during clear spells, then retreat to a castle, museum, cafe, pub or fireside when the rain arrives.
Places to explore
