In addition to the two hotel options mentioned above,

there are a number of AirBnBs located in Loughrea.

Transportation will not be provided for other stay locations.

If you book an AirBnB near the Loughrea Hotel and Spa, you can walk to the hotel to take advantage of the shuttles we set up.

Whatever you're preference, we recommend booking early

because Ireland is a popular destination in July.
