The Rathbaun is central to it all and the city of Lisdoovarna is charming and quaint. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/93bb2073-ee3f-49fd-8bd7-0e233d0ffc28-1746300703795.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Tim Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Clayton Hotel Dublin Airport Central](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dublin-Hotels-Clayton-Hotel-Dublin-Airport-Central.h77932.Hotel-Information) > > [Talbot Hotel Clonmel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Clonmel-Hotels-Clonmel-Park-Hotel.h7049246.Hotel-Information) > > [The Cliffe at the Quay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Donegal-Hotels-The-Cliffe-At-The-Quay.h104426642.Hotel-Information) > > [Nesbitt Arms Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ardara-Hotels-Nesbitt-Arms-Boutique-Hotel.h15521231.Hotel-Information) > > [Charming 2-bed Apartment in Donegal Town Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Donegal-Hotels-The-Suite-On-The-Diamond.h46949579.Hotel-Information) > > [Falls Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ennistimon-Hotels-Falls-Hotel-Spa.h517363.Hotel-Information) > > [An Chúirt Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gweedore-Hotels-An-Chuirt-Hotel.h17721313.Hotel-Information) > > [CABU By The Lakes](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cavan-Hotels-CABU-By-The-Lakes.h48850549.Hotel-Information) > > [Clayton Hotel Liffey Valley](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dublin-Hotels-Clayton-Hotel-Liffey-Valley.h1166873.Hotel-Information) > > [Carlton Hotel Dublin Airport Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dublin-Hotels-Carlton-Hotel-Dublin-Airport-Hotel.h1453052.Hotel-Information) > > [Travelodge Dublin Airport North Swords](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dublin-Hotels-Travelodge-Dublin-Airport-North-Swords.h24018.Hotel-Information) > > [The Strand Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ballyliffin-Hotels-The-Strand-Hotel.h15932701.Hotel-Information) > > [St Angela’s Lakeside Aparthotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sligo-Hotels-ST-ANGELAS-LUXURY-APARTMENTS.h39222224.Hotel-Information) > > [The Old Borough by Wetherspoon](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dublin-Hotels-The-Old-Borough-By-Wetherspoon.h49171932.Hotel-Information) > > [Clayton Hotel Dublin Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dublin-Hotels-Clayton-Hotel-Dublin-Airport.h2226273.Hotel-Information) > > [Farnham Estate Spa & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cavan-Hotels-Farnham-Estate-Spa-Golf-Resort.h1499097.Hotel-Information) > > [Marina views, Kinsale, sleeps 20, owned by Exquisite Holiday Homes ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kinsale-Hotels-Marina-Views.h45413709.Hotel-Information) > > [Killaloe Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Killaloe-Hotels-The-Killaloe-Hotel.h15821471.Hotel-Information) > > [Portmarnock Resort & Jameson Golf Links](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dublin-Hotels-Portmarnock-Resort-Jameson-Golf-Links.h445188.Hotel-Information) > > [Wildwood Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dundalk-Hotels-Wildwood-Lodge.h23322687.Hotel-Information) > > [Cliffs of Moher Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Liscannor-Hotels-Cliffs-Of-Moher-Hotel.h2146471.Hotel-Information) > > [Malin Townhouse](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Malin-Hotels-Malin-Townhouse.h42005430.Hotel-Information) > > [Skryne Castle Built in 1142](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skryne-Hotels-Skryne-Castle-Built-In-1142.h35803840.Hotel-Information) > > [Maldron Hotel Dublin Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dublin-Hotels-Maldron-Hotel-Dublin-Airport.h1331635.Hotel-Information) > > [Ghan House Carlingford](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dundalk-Hotels-Ghan-House-Carlingford.h41972370.Hotel-Information) > > [Fiddle and Bow Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Doolin-Hotels-Fiddle-And-Bow-Hotel.h38095755.Hotel-Information) > > [Auburn Lodge Hotel and Leisure Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ennis-Hotels-Auburn-Lodge-Hotel-And-Leisure-Centre.h7525.Hotel-Information) > > [Slieve Russell Hotel Golf & Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ardue-Hotels-Slieve-Russell-Hotel-Golf-Country-Club.h4952282.Hotel-Information) > > [Druids Glen Hotel & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kilmullin-Hotels-Druids-Glen-Hotel-Golf-Resort.h853698.Hotel-Information) ---
