Drumcliffe Equestrian

Reviewed By stuartm951 - Dublin, Ireland

On holidays from Dublin for 4 days, one of the activities on top of my wife and daughters list was horse riding, so after reading the reviews of Drumcliffe equestrian, I decided to book online for the 3 of us and I was so glad we did. From the moment we arrived we were met with a friendly smile and witty banter from the man himself Pat. Pat is a character that makes you feel at ease straight. Helping Pat are his 2 daughters and a handful of other girls from the centre. Covid procedures are in place on arrival and once suited and booted, our horses were brought in and before we new it we were walking around the indoor arena learning the techniques and being led by Pats team. The horses are fantastic and very calm, our 7 year old had never been on a horse before and was loving Polly. Once we were confident enough, Pat took us out into the fields on our trek with his team, who were always in total control and we felt extremely safe throughout our trek. As you can see from the photos, my wife and daughter had a ball and are still talking about the experience and are already planning to take a day trip from Dublin to do it all again. If travelling to Clare, make sure to visit Pat at Drumcliffe Equesrian. You won’t be disappointed.

Tony was a fabulous driver and host as I brought my friend to Co Clare for the first time. His knowledge of the history is impressive as was his knowledge of the geography. He was prompt, great value and a tremendous companion telling us some great stories along the way. Highly recommend him.

Quin Abbey

Reviewed By breerodriguez - Galway, Ireland

My family and I had a private driver for the day. We planned on making a few stops at historic sites we were interested in seeing on our way to Galway. He encouraged that we also stop at Quin Abbey during our trip. This place was amazing!! There were no tourists crowding the area which allowed for perfect picture taking opportunities. I really enjoyed being able to explore the castle at my own pace. The site itself was beautiful and very well kept. This was definitely one of the best parts of my trip here in Ireland!!
