Wild Honey Inn - Hotel in Co. Clare
Kincora Road, , , Co. Clare
Munster,
Irlanda
It’s lovely to walk in to this revamped 19th-century Inn with its fresh flowers, tweedy furniture, piano and log fires in the bar. Kate and Aidan’s style is warm and calm and it’s clear the whole team minds that you enjoy your stay.
Whole weekends can be devoted to exploring the Burren (on foot and by bike) with its unique flora, megalithic tombs and dolmen. Visit other border villages like Ballyvaughan and Kilfenora.
Aidan sources food meticulously from his country’s ‘natural larder’ keeping things seasonal, rustic and flavourful - cooking along classic French lines - using organic vegetables, berries and herbs; local game; wild fish, shellfish and organically farmed salmon from Clare Island. He cooks a jolly good breakfast too; try the Smoked haddock omelette, homemade bread and handmade sausages. Slow Food Clare has really taken off and as Ireland's only Michelin Star pub - you'll definitely be in for a treat.

- The stunning Cliffs of Moher are only a short drive from the Inn. They are over 200 metres high and run for over 8 km along the Atlantic Ocean. Over 30,000 pairs of seabirds including a number of protected species nest at the Cliffs of Moher.
- The Burren landscape in North Clare is one of the largest and most accessible Karst regions in the world. It is the only place on the planet where Arctic, Mediterranean and Alpine plants grow side-by-side.
- The Burren area is an ideal base for those in pursuit of outdoor adventure. There are many walking and cycling routes in the area as well as sea kayaking, surfing, rock climbing, horse riding and golf.
- There are many archaeological sites in the area. The oldest and best known is the Poulnabrone portal dolmen. Look out for tower houses, holy wells, penitential stations, round towers and much more. This heritage gives us a privileged insight into the past.
- The underground cave system of the Burren is one of the largest in Europe. There are two open to the public. Aillwee Cave near Ballyvaughan and Doolin Cave where you can view the (7.3 metres) longest free-hanging stalactite in the Northern hemisphere.
- Throughout the summer there are many festivals and organised events for the visitor to enjoy. These include the 'Burren in Bloom' festival and the 'Burren Slow Food' festival in May. Burren Food trail and Burren Adventure trail.
