Merriman Hotel, Kinvara, Co. Galway, Ireland
|
Welcome to the Merriman Hotel Web Site. The hotel, which has
the largest thatched roof in Ireland, consists of 32 bedrooms, 'The Quilty Restaurant' and
'M'asal
Beag Dubh Bar'. Our friendly staff will help you enjoy your stay and should you have any
special requests please ask.
The hotel is named after Bryan Merriman (1747 - 1805), who, born in Co. Clare, was son of a
small
landowner. An accomplished violinist and teacher of mathemathic, his famous racy poem,
"The
Midnight Court", runs to over 1000 lines. The poem is full of intricate brilliance
and
musical mastery.

New York Times - Mr. Dan Barry
"Late that afternoon we stopped nine miles short of Gort in the seaport village of Kinvara,
where we spent the night at the pleasant relatively new hotel called the Merriman. Kinvara was
fairly quiet. We walked its narrow streets, pubs and the occasional shop catering to visitors.......
It seemed to us that the village had struck a wonderful balance between tourism and a dedication
to preserving its beauty.
Kinvara also provided one of those serene moments destined to linger in memory........drinking
stout, eating smoked salmon and watching the boats bob in Kinvara Bay."
