While at the retreat center, we are in the spectacular and quiet countryside of Ireland. There are a few small towns just a few miles from us, but if having many shops or restaurants within walking distance at all times is important to you, this may not be the best retreat for your travel needs. However, we will visit many towns for shopping, culture and exploring during our time together - including Doolin, Lahinch, Galway and a quaint village on one of the Aran Islands.
Round trip ground transportation from the Shannon Airport (SNN) to the retreat center is included (if you arrive within prescribed days / times) and is about a 1 hour ride. If you'd rather fly in and out of Dublin, we recommend you fly in at least a day early in order to catch the one-time, mid-day ground transportation that can be booked for retreat guests at a supplemental cost. Please note the Dublin Airport (DUB) is 3-3.5 hours from the retreat center and the fee will be based on how many travelers needs this service and can split the cost. Or you're welcome to take the recommended bus service, rent car or book your own transfer service.
Average weather for early September: high 65 / low 54. Expect periods of sunshine, but likely many days with some rain (as is common all year long in Ireland) and breezes as we are by the coast. A light rain jacket / windbreaker and a few warmer layers are a must in the Emerald Isle as the weather can change quickly (which is part of the reason they have so many spectacular rainbows). Some days you may be in a t-shirt, others you may be bundled up against the wind. It's part of the Irish fun!
*Please note this is an alcohol-free retreat center, but you can enjoy a Guinness (or a Jameson) while in town or on excursions as desired. There is a small pub walking distance from the retreat center, and there are also several pubs and local watering holes on our excursion to Galway and to the Aran Islands. In addition, one night we will go into the famous small town of Doolin for a night of local traditional Irish music at the pub. However, if access to alcohol is vital to your vacation plans, this is probably not the best retreat for you. Excessive drinking while on excursion will not tolerated in this wellness-focused environment and you are not allowed to bring alcohol back to the retreat center.
