Overview

Visit Adare, which lays claim to being Ireland’s prettiest village, set on the west bank of the River Maigue. The village itself dates back to the Norman Conquest and the thatched cottages lining Main Street provide a wonderful photo opportunity.

We also visit Bunratty with time to explore at leisure. It is home to the 15th century castle, which is the most complete in Ireland and houses fine displays of medieval furniture, utensils and weaponry. Next to the castle is the Folk Village, a fascinating collection of authentic 19th century houses and cottages where you may get a feeling that time has stood still. Close by is Ireland’s most famous pub, ‘Durty Nelly’s’, allegedly Ireland's oldest pub, where you can enjoy Irish hospitality at its best and, of course, a pint of Guinness.

We enjoyed this tour, however there were some things that we suggest need to change. 1. The evening meals in both hotels were poor and below expectations. 2. The river cruise wasn't worth doing. there were other places we could have visited of more interest. 3. Insufficient time at Bunratty Castle, and way too much time at Adare (just a high street !) 4. Disappointed not to have had more commentary as we travelled around on the coach, suggest you make some podcasts to play. 5. All the travel arrangements worked extremely well. 5. Robbin our driver was excellent and helpful.

Everything about the holiday was brilliant apart from the long journey from west sussex to Holyhead and return which I could not face ever again.

An excellent holiday with a comfortable coach and great driver and assistant. The excursions were good, although the logistics for the day we visited Bunratty and Adare weren't great. 1.5 hours at the former and 3 hours at the latter was not ideal.

Basically a very good trip. Would have liked more time in Bunratty for castle and folk village, and less time in Adare, on one of the included day’s out. Driver Robin and hostess Tracy were superb

Booked on line after ringing for some more info. Call centre helpful and pleasant. Website booking form a bit awkward at accepting telephone numbers.

I really enjoyed myself, I was a bit nervous before hand first time I have been away without a family member, but I do make friends easily so settled in really good. My room had a sea view it was perfect, beautiful. The bed was so comfortable, I probably had one the best sleeps the first night, but the rest of the week was fine too. i only had one problem when I went to eat in the restaurant I had ordered soup with a bread roll, well it was rock hard, well I put that down as an error of judgement on their part.

My husband and I have had several holidays with Shearings and find them a first rate company, they are always wonderfully polite and helpful and do everything within their power to give you a fantastic holiday! We love travelling with them and have already booked a few more holidays in the near future!

I couldn't work it at all. The code wasn't accepted and it felt like I was going around in circles . The best feature was we'll call you back..
