Claim this listingStaying in Kilkee
A Victorian seaside resort on Clare’s Loop Head Peninsula, wrapped around a horseshoe bay with natural rock-pool swimming and some of the Atlantic coast’s finest cliff walking.
Kilkee grew up as a seaside resort in the nineteenth century and still has the feel of one, a curved horseshoe bay lined with a promenade and a Blue Flag beach, sheltered enough for safe swimming even with the Atlantic on its doorstep. It sits at the start of the Loop Head Peninsula, a quieter, less-visited stretch of the Wild Atlantic Way than the Cliffs of Moher further north.
A B&B in Kilkee suits a slower, outdoors-focused stay. The town’s Pollock Holes, a set of natural rock pools cut into the reef at the western end of the bay, are a local institution for a swim refreshed by every tide, and the cliff walk that runs from the same spot past the Amphitheatre and the Pink Caves is one of the best short coastal walks in Clare. From Kilkee it is also an easy run out to Loop Head itself, with its lighthouse looking out over the mouth of the Shannon.
Things to do near Myles Creek
The Pollock Holes
Cut into the Duggerna Reef at the western end of Kilkee’s bay, the Pollock Holes are a set of natural rock pools that fill and refresh with every tide, long used by locals for sea swimming without the open Atlantic swell. They are reached on foot at low tide from the car park near the Diamond Rocks.
The Kilkee Cliff Walk
A signed coastal path leading from the Pollock Holes past the Amphitheatre, a natural rock formation of tiered ledges, and on to the Pink Caves and Look Out Hill, with loop options of around five or eight kilometres and steady Atlantic views along the way.
Loop Head Lighthouse
At the tip of the peninsula beyond Kilkee, Loop Head Lighthouse has stood guard over the entrance to the River Shannon since 1670 and is open to visitors, with sweeping views back along the Clare coast and out to the Kerry mountains on a clear day.
Kilkee Bay
The horseshoe-shaped bay itself, with its Blue Flag beach and Victorian promenade, is calmer than most of the open Atlantic coast because of the sheltering headlands on either side, which is part of what made Kilkee a popular resort from the nineteenth century onward.
Getting to Kilkee
Kilkee sits on the R487 on the Loop Head Peninsula, around forty-five minutes from Ennis and just over an hour from Shannon Airport. Bus Éireann runs a service into the town, though a car is the easier way to explore the wider peninsula and its smaller villages once you arrive.
Booking Myles Creek direct, and what the rating means
A real, assessed guest house
Myles Creek holds a 3-star guest house rating under Fáilte Ireland's National Quality Assurance Framework, assessed against the bedrooms, bathrooms, breakfast and welcome rather than self-declared. It's an independent signal you can trust before you book, separate from any platform's own review score.
No fees, no middleman
Ring the owner, or use the contact details on this page, and arrange the stay with the house rather than through an app. No booking fee added to your bill and no commission taken from the owner, so the room rate you agree is the room rate you pay.
A better stay, direct
Owners answer the questions a booking platform never will: whether the room at the front is quieter, how early breakfast can be served, or where to park for a few days. Speaking to the house directly is how B&Bs in Ireland were booked for decades.
