The loving care and time invested by John and his family in making this hotel a hub for visitors to the west of Ireland shows in every detail. Recently furbished in a myriad of ways to upgrade every detail of guests’ experiences, Temple Gate Hotel welcomes travelers in style, comfort, and food and beverage service in this historic property which once was a convent of the Sisters of Mercy!

Located right in the center of Ennis, a town that has frequently won the Tidiest Towns in Ireland award, the hotel is an easy twenty minute drive to Shannon Airport and for those who prefer not to take the drive, a shuttle group ride is less than 10 euros to the airport.
