Falls Hotel & Spa Co Clare
As one of the finest Clare Hotels, the Falls Hotel & Spa is nestled in a wooded vale beside the tumbling waters of the River Inagh. The distinctive building known today as the Falls Hotel & Spa in Co.

The hotel’s bar is named after the Welsh poet, Dylan Thomas as his wife Caitlin McNamara’s family lived in the original manor house before it became a commercial property. Caitlin’s father “Francis returned to his ancestral home in 1936 and to make ends meat, entered the realms of common trade by turning the house into a Country Hotel.”, John F Wood.
