Doonbeg Lodge
At Doonbeg Golf Club on Doughmore Bay, The Lodge offers very luxurious accommodation - and, although it is a private club, there is limited visitor access to both golf and accommodation when available.The contrast between the wild landscape of Clare, the brooding sea and the luxurious interiors of The Lodge lends a distinctly romantic tone to the hotel, which is on first approach appropriately reminiscent of a baronial Scottish castle, although closer inspection reveals a cluster of more intimate buildings and, in acknowledgment of Irish tradition, all are slated-roofed and built in local stone.
This wedding venues got an Irish ‘great house’ feel with an American opulence - ‘a relaxed country house atmosphere with an unparalleled level of the service’ is the aim and, with the apparent ease born of long experience, House Manager Bernie Merry (previously at nearby Moy House, Lahinch) ensures the atmosphere is always warm and service professional.
And then there is the White Horses Spa, designed by the US-based Irish designer Clodagh: offering every possible kind of pampering, the design is inspired by the local environment (the walls of the fitness room, for example, feature a continuous image of the beach at Doonbeg) and non-golfers, especially, could pass many an agreeable hour here.
