Adare Manor
County Limerick

Adare Manor is a beautifully restored manor house, created to delight and impress, brimming with gothic splendour. Sitting on the banks of the River Maigue, the hotel is settled within 840 acres of pristine parkland, including a golf course, and the nearby village of Adare, well-loved for its delightful thatched roof cottages, lively pubs and antique shops, adds to its character and charm.

Each room, individually decorated with historically-inspired art and furnishings, has a style and opulent luxury. With inviting beds, marble en-suite bathrooms, beautiful views from every window and all the modern amenities you one could wish for, you will be guaranteed a restful stay. There are a number of dining options, which include formal fine-dining in The Oak Room, where Head Chef Michael Tweedie’s tasting menu has distilled the essence of Ireland’s best artisan ingredients. The Drawing Room is a luxurious setting overlooking the manicured landscape gardens and is the perfect spot to enjoy an aperitif before dinner or freshly brewed coffee in the morning, whilst The Tack Room offers an informal atmosphere for light snacks paired with world-class whiskey.

There are plenty of activities on offer to keep the family occupied too. At Adare one can really take in the beauty of the Irish countryside during a game of golf, or perhaps whilst fishing with the resident ghillie. There is also horse riding, archery and falconry for something a little bit different, and for those just looking to relax, there is a spa equipped with lavish La Mer products.

My favourite thing is to go where I've never been.
