Sheedys is part of the Walkers Welcome initiative set up by Failte Ireland.  The Burren is great walking country and Lisdoonvarna makes a great base.  A lot of our guests will heat out after a home cooked breakfast, take a packed lunch with them and will be out all day walking on the green roads.  They can then relax over Dinner either in our Award winning Restaurant or in our Cosy Bar.  We also offer a weekend package for walkers based on two nights accommodation and freshly cooked breakfast each morning.  Guests are welcomed upon arrival with tea and homemade scones and baking.  After breakfast the following day, guests meet up with Shane Connolly for 1/2 days walk ( aprox 4 hours).  A packed lunch of homemade soup and freshly cut sandwiches is provided.  Full dinner from our A La Carte dinner menu can be enjoyed later that evening.  Maps and walking sticks are provided at reception.
