This was really enjoyable and definitely an experience. If you are expecting plush surroundings this is NOT the place for you,bear in mind that this is over 100 years old and this is part of the charm of the place,the baths and steam box are there since 1912. Baths are enormous and you can fully immerse yourself in them,I found this so relaxing. I would recommend bringing flip flops or pool shoes as the floor doesn't look great.

Open 7 days a week, our castle tours are a highlight not to be missed. The Tours include the history of the castle, going back to the Middle Ages. You will see the Medieval Banquet Hall, the Spanish Armada Bar and other romantic Rooms. The highlight of the tour will be the Marshall Doran Collection, the finest collections of medieval armour, jurassic fossils and antiques in Ireland.

Went on tour of the castle with an excellent guide called Carol. She really brought the place alive and spent great time with us with her vivid descriptions of the history of the castle. Highlights are the bar and armoury! Would highly recommend!
5. Enniscrone Golf Club

This is a world class links course, I thought carefully before writing the rating but it truly is. I have played here over 30 years plus and each return visit shows the progressive nature of the members. We probably played here say two weeks after hollow tinning so the usually perfect greens were a bit off . Like many links courses you need to play here at least twice to figure out the landscape. If you are religious pray to your weather gods. Our last visit was tough high winds and plenty of rain..but we will return for that perfect day
6. Jackie Clarke Collection

I read about the Jackie Clark Collection in preparation for a third go round leisurely stay based outside Ballina. There wasn't all that much of consequence I'd missed over many decades exploring the surrounding terrain, so a visit there began with a curious sense of responsibility, possibly all the more quirky sourced in one of Sicilian American background.
How bad could it be? The house was visually interesting in itself from its exterior, parking and varied other town center options were proximate if deciding on an early bail-out. Oh yes, and the other great incentive: all free of charge as in somewhat self endowed. The two ladies and gent on call were charming and helpful as could be imagined. After a personal five minute overview discussion, off we went self guided and quickly absorbed throughout, engaging the varieties of curiosities housed in multiple exhibit rooms on ground level and up the stairs beyond.
Little by little, we were provided with an absorbing look at records depicting one man's collection of his life's surroundings and related contemporaneous news.Thousands of Jackie and his wife's devotedly gathered mementos magnified that particularly eventful period of Irish history.
We wound up spending many hours going from room to room before exiting through his garden so much later than imagined. This museum serves as much as a fascinating shrine to a most devoted and visionary subject as it does an impressive vault of Irish history. That singular vision results in such a panoramic arrangement of human events - for us to behold, absorb and celebrate far beyond his own lifetime.
Jackie Clarke was a brilliant businessman, opening shop after shop (more than half a dozen) employing many then and to this day. Have a peek inside his impressive proximate smoked salmon shop for openers. JC led seemingly multiple lives, and I'll be looking toward an inclusive biography trumpeting both his intense drive and the attentive range of his and later his devoted wife's impressive achievement.

Love Enniscrone. Hadn't been here in years. A lot has changed
More hotels than I've ever seen and huge houses. There's a new glamping site opening in the next few months. Lots of shops for ice cream and amusements. Quaint little place. Nice local pubs and the beautiful beach to walk or surf on. You can rent wet suits and surf boards!! Search weed baths to soak ur bones. Highly recommend this place

My teens go Surfing whenever they can - which is really only a handful of times a year. They love it . 7th wave taught them how to surf and every year at least once we make our way to Eniscrone for a few days visit . Surfing de rigour. Rain or shine .
The staff are friendly, the teachers great and well able to adjust classes according to age. Lessons come with full equipment . If you are looking for something to do with kids that's fun and physical - try them . They also do surf school ( we have done in the past, years ago, but not recently) if your staying nearby. the prices are reasonable for the activity .
There is another surf school on the beach - but - I have never used them as 7th wave just does it for us,so I am not comparing them to other establishment . Eniscrone beach is perfect to learn how to surf on , gentle sloping and not as rough or dangerous as some other Sligo or west of Ireland Surfing locations. Surfs up , enjoy .
10. Rosserk Friary

Rosserk Abbey, Moyne Abbey, and Mary's Well make for a lovely morning or mid-afternoon's leisurely engagement of County Mayo inclusions celebrating bucolic Ireland's abundance of hidden gems.
In the first of these three stops, we encountered varying and engrossingly detailed embellishments that remain mostly within Rosserk medieval Franciscan friary, a hallowed structure situated gracefully in a much conducive setting of natural piety.
Though smaller in size than its impressive Moyne counterpart, I found our time spent at this particular stop even more atmospheric.
