Hello Michele, We will be arriving at Shannon at 1:30 PM after a long flight from Canada. We will be driving to Boyle Co. Roscommon the following day. I am not sure I want to stay in Shannon or Bunratty for our 1st night. I do like Ennis and it is a possibility but I am looking at driving to Gort to spend a fairly quiet night before the next day's drive. Do you know anything about Sullivan's Royal Hotel in Gort. The location looks to be just what I'm looking for. There are 3 reviews on Tripadvisor - 2 very good, 1 terrible - certainly not reliable.
The location might be the best thing about Sullivan's. I like the 'in town' thing for a quick overnight stop. Do you recommend a B&B in Gort? There is one called 'Woodley' that is well located for me.
I'm afraid I don't have any personal recommendations in Gort. It is so close to Ennis, Bunratty and Galway that I have not looked there. It is not a usual tourist destination. Perhaps you can check for online reviews of the places you are interested in. Sorry!
