The family-run Hotel Inis Oirr is located on the smallest of the Aran Islands, Inis Oirr, and offers a cosy base from which to explore the islands’ rich culture and natural history.
One of the joys of staying on the Aran Islands is the ability to explore on foot (or by pony and trap, if you prefer!). There is a local bus service, which links the hotel with key sites such as the prehistoric fort of Dun Aengus. Inis Oirr, like the other two Aran Islands is, geologically, an extension of the Burren and known for its remarkable assemblage of plants.
A spring visit to the far west of Europe combining the fabulous flowers of the Burren – a glaciated plateau of carboniferous limestone and a natural rock garden – with an exploration of this lovely coastal part of Ireland, including a 2-night stay on the beautiful Aran Islands.

The Aran Islands comprise three islands – Inishmore, Inishmaan and Inisheer – in Galway Bay. With a strong Celtic and Christian heritage, the Aran Islands have many ruins and sacred sites, and the 1,200-strong population primarily speaks Irish, although most inhabitants are also fluent in English.
