1 Welcome to the falls hotel & spa Welcome to the Falls Hotel & Spa, a traditional property, with beautiful surroundings, friendly staff, traditional quality dining and strong history. This is a homely property, which was once an O Brien Castle, then converted to a Georgian Style Manor House in the 1800 s. The House was opened as a commercial property in 1936 by Francis MacNamara, who s daughter Caitlin married the Welsh poet Dylan Thomas. The hotel is located in the centre of the market town of Ennistymon. It is surrounded by picturesque gardens and has the River Inagh and its cascades running along the edge of the property. It is the ideal location for wedding photography. The McCarthy family purchased the hotel in 1986 and they have expanded it greatly since but they retained the beautiful original manor house. The hotel now has 140 bedrooms, 9 apartments, a lodge, the Woodland Banqueting Suite, Dylan Thomas Bar, the Cascades Restaurant, Thai River Restaurant, River Spa and the Aqua & Fitness Club. The McCarthy family and all the hotel staff look forward to welcoming you and your family and friends to the hotel for your special wedding day.
