INFORMATION:
Noble Adare Manor is a delight in every sense - an architectural gem set
in the timeless greenery of the rich and fertile landscape of County Limerick.
Adare Manor though, has entered a new era. Home for over 150 years, to
the Quinn family and Earls of Dunraven, the Manor was transformed in 1987
from a private one thousand acre estate to an elegant world class hotel.
The Second Earl of Dunraven, prevented by illness from outdoor pursuits of hunting and fishing, dedicated himself to the building of the Manor. Begun in 1832 and continued by his son, the construction of Adare Manor and the planting of some twenty acres of gardens extended over thirty years. Today, the Manor in all its preserved glory reads like a novel.
The beautiful oak stairway is dominated by finely carved ravens, which
are reminders of the Second Earl's wife, heiress to the Dunraven Castle
of Wales. The most recent addition to the estate is the fantastic Robert
Trent Jones golf course, the layout of which is quite something to behold.
Trent Jones sees the par 5 18th, as probably the best finishing hole to
be found anywhere.
More than fifty individually carved fireplaces, enhance the ambience of the spacious bedrooms and suites, each a meticulous re-inspiration of the original design. Rich with history the Manor House of Adare stands witness to centuries ofIreland's fate. Once again though, the glamorous life has returned to Adare Manor.
ROOMS:
63 en-suite guestrooms, including 5 Dunraven staterooms, all of which
boast individually fashioned wood panelling at the hands of local craftsmen.
Most bedrooms offer fantastic views over the manicured gardens or River
Maigue.
