Claim this listingStaying in Ballina
A small Shannon-side village facing Killaloe across the water at the foot of Lough Derg.
Ballina is a small village in County Tipperary on the eastern bank of the River Shannon, exactly opposite Killaloe in County Clare, where the river flows out of Lough Derg. The two villages have been joined by a stone bridge for over a thousand years and function almost as one place, sharing a name with the Killaloe diocese and a long shared history going back to early monastic times.
A B&B in Ballina suits visitors drawn to Lough Derg itself, whether for boating, paddling or simply the scenery, and to Killaloe’s older streets and cathedral just across the bridge. It is a quiet, small-scale base rather than a hub of its own, but that pairing with Killaloe gives it more to see and do than its size would suggest.
Things to do near Shannon Breeze
Killaloe Bridge
The thirteen-arch stone bridge joining Ballina to Killaloe has carried traffic across this point on the Shannon for centuries and is the defining feature of the two villages, best appreciated on foot.
Killaloe and St Flannan’s Cathedral
Across the bridge, Killaloe was an important early monastic and later cathedral settlement, said to be the birthplace of the High King Brian Boru, and its steep streets lead up to the thirteenth-century St Flannan’s Cathedral.
Lough Derg Blueway
The southern end of Lough Derg, right at Ballina’s doorstep, is part of a wider network of water trails used for kayaking, paddleboarding and sailing, with lessons and boat hire available locally through the area’s outdoor operators.
The Brian Boru Festival
Held every July, this joint celebration between Ballina and Killaloe marks the legacy of the High King with community events, including a hurling match played between teams from each side of the bridge.
Getting to Ballina
Ballina is just off the main road between Limerick and Scarriff, about twenty five minutes from Limerick city and around forty minutes from Shannon Airport. There is no train station in either village, so a car is the practical way to arrive, though local bus services connect on to Limerick for those without one.
Booking Shannon Breeze direct, and what the rating means
A real, assessed b&b
Shannon Breeze holds a 4-star b&b 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.
