While this is a great idea the website has some information which is incorrect.
The Time.. this is what the website says,
" The shuttle bus runs between 7.30am and 2.00pm. It leaves from the hotel on the hour every hour and its return journey leaves the airport half past the hour. Allow yourself enough time to pay the balance at reception and travel to Shannon airport before your official check in."
This is actually incorrect. The service begins at 7.30pm which is not on the hour as stated above, so when we arrived at 7.40 in plenty of time to pay and leave, we were actually late. On the website it would also have helped if we had been told that they only run 3 services a day from the hotel.
We also werent told anything about being picked up on our return, rushed out to be collected for the last service at 1.45pm and there was no one there. We rang the hotel and they sent a taxi for us.
The hotel also no longer uses a shuttle bus, they use taxis.
So even though its a great cheap way of parking a car for two days, the fear of missing flights or lifts because of the lack of info and the wrong timing info is quite off putting.

Hello Amy,
The information regarding services provided comes from the hotel and in this case they had not updated us with the latest adjustments to the airport shuttle service. In light of your feedback we contacted the Bunratty Castle Hotel to confirm the details and our website has now been amended accordingly.
Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience and misunderstanding you experienced and thank you.
