dreamescape - Adare Manor

OVERVIEW

A historic manor house dating back to the 19th century, Adare Manor boasts elegant, contemporary interiors alongside its original gothic architecture. This 840- acre estate is the perfect base to explore beautiful Southwest Ireland. Following a sympathetic renovation, this beautiful manor home has been revived to its former glory with incredible attention to detail by the current owner, JP Mcmanus. Adare Manor is located on an 840-acre estate in County Limerick, Southwest Ireland and the estate offers a perfect base to explore this stunning part of Ireland. Close by, Adare village is a quaint Irish village featuring thatched-roofed cottages, a heritage centre and an array of inviting boutiques, pubs and restaurants. Within this local village there is even a castle and an Abbey.

The hotel offers something for everyone – a luxury castle feeling for couples looking for a romantic getaway, state of the art golf for those keen to try their clubs on this championship course and, for those looking for a little pampering, the La Mer Spa is the only one of its kind in the British isles. There is also an abundance of activities for active families looking to explore the outdoors ranging from falconry to archery, horse-riding, cycling and fishing. This historic country castle escape has it all.

The hotel has 104 individually-designed rooms and suites that are luxurious and elegant. Each room is equipped with the latest technology, stunning marble bathrooms and top of the range amenities. The soft, plump bedding is very inviting after a long day exploring the hotel’s grounds and trying out the vast range of activities.

The Oak Room is the main dining room and was the former family dining room. The high arches and oak-panelled walls offer an elegant atmosphere where you can recall the fabulous dinner parties that have taken place in this room over the years. The menu features fine dining with responsibly-sourced meat, game and seafood and the freshest local produce available. Breakfast and afternoon tea are served in the magical Gallery, a monumental room which closely resembles a cathedral and is surrounded by ancient wood carvings and meticulously-restored stained glass. The Tack Room offers cocktails and light fare for casual evenings. Adare Manor is a luxury retreat that will exceed all of your expectations.
