Adare Manor


One of Ireland's finest hotels and one of the leading hotels of the world, Adare Manor is a majestic five star hotel & golf resort, set around an 18th Century manor house in the village of Adare in County Limerick.

Situated on the banks of the River Maigue within an estate of 840 acres, Adare Manor was the ancestral home of the earls of Dunraven for over 250 years, set in the heart of the pretty village of Adare. The Manor is an architectural masterpiece of mock gothic turrets and towers and elaborate stonework. While inside original features of ornate woodcarvings, stunning staircases, and huge gothic archways grace the reception of Adare and throughout the hotel. One of the most renowned parts of the manor is the Minstrels Gallery, inspired by the Hall of Mirrors in Versailles and lined with 17th Century Flemish Choir Stalls, worth a look even if you aren't banqueting there.

Each of Adare Manor's wonderful selection of rooms are carefully crafted to the very highest standards, blending old world charm with modern facilities, comfort with luxury. These well appointed rooms are elegantly furnished, providing the finest of amenities, in which to relax and feel pampered. Adare also offers self-catering accommodation in their fabulous Townhouses, furnished to the same exemplary standards.

Adare Manor offers a range of dining experiences, from the graceful fine dining of the Oakroom Restaurant, elegantly set with crystal chandeliers and oak panelling, and featuring the finest in European haute cuisine, complimented by an impressive wine list. While less formal dining is available in the bistro styled Carriage House Restaurant. The Tack Room, in one of the oldest parts of the hotel, regularly hosts evening entertainment, from traditional music to storytelling, hugely atmospheric, and an excellent way to end the evening.

A dizzying array of exemplary facilities are on offer at the Adare Hotel, including the famous 18 hole championship golf course, designed by Robert Trent Jones. A full range of equestrian facilities is available nearby at the Clonshire Equestrian Centre with free complimentary transfers to and from the resort and angling for brown trout can be had on the River Maigue. For those seeking more relaxing times, Adare Manor has a Spa offering a full range of relaxation and beauty treatments to be pampered with.

Less than an hours drive from Shannon Airport, Adare Manor is well placed for seeing the sights in and around Ireland's western counties of Limerick, Clare, Kerry, Cork, and Galway.

Guest Reviews of

The castle is very nice, but could use renovation of the interiors of the rooms furnishings and bathroom to be able to compete with Ashford Castle, where we stayed next

Paul Nador on Wed Aug 11 2010

Because of a wedding, we were upgraded to the Presidential Suite! This was by far one of the best parts of our vacation!

Rachel Shanahan on Thu Aug 5 2010

Although the hotel and the grounds were absolutely gorgeous at Adare Manor, there wasn't much to see in the town itself. We were glad we had changed the booking to only spend one day here instead of two since we wouldn't have had enough to do in town for two days. A location closer to Shannon or Galway might provide more sights to see.

Jennifer Theiss on Mon Jul 12 2010

Adare Manor was absolutely beautiful.

Tracy Hagan on Mon Jul 5 2010

Enjoyed our time at Adare! Excellent customer service!

Kelly Birckhead on Fri May 28 2010

Very nice place. A little on the pricey side, but probably a GREAT place if you're a golfer. Staff was fantastic

Ronald Kretz on Tue May 4 2010

Adare Manor was super, we had an incredible tasting menu with wine pairings, the staff were all so friendly and the hotel and grounds spectacular. We would definitely return, though next time I would like to be in one of the rooms in the older part of the main house, we were further out the back, which while it was very comfortable was in a newer part of the building.

Leah Richmond on Thu Apr 29 2010

We loved it there.

Heather Murtagh on Wed Mar 31 2010

Barb Merriman on Tue Mar 23 2010

Debra Conklin on Tue Oct 27 2009

All the staff at Adare Manor were TOP! I really wish that we would have stayed a min. of 2 nights. A special thanks to: Bridget, Jim, Jason, Anne (Gift Shop) and the french concierge.

Silke Siegert on Tue Oct 13 2009

Adare was beautiful and the staff was very friendly, especially John who greeted us as we arrived.

Nikki Smida on Tue Oct 13 2009

Wonderful place and nice golf course with good company. Wish I had the time to get a massage at the spa after walking 18 holes.

Christopher Phillips on Wed Sep 30 2009

We enjoyed this place tremendously for the one night that we were there. The service was great.

Robbin Sweeney on Mon Sep 28 2009

Ruth Fraser on Thu Sep 17 2009

fabulous place.The room was wonderful and the service was excellent. The food was good too and they had an Irish music night on Tuesday that we enjoyed.

Deborah Grayson on Tue Sep 1 2009

Beautiful place to stay. Area is a bit remote for tourists looking to see the sights, but if you're in the mood for pure relaxation, this place is it!

Kirche Zeile on Mon Aug 17 2009

We loved Adare! Our room was beautiful, the grounds impeccable, and our service excellent.

Susan O'Brien on Sat Jul 25 2009

Adare manor was an excellent choice, pitty we were only in for one night

Helena Conceicao on Thu Jun 18 2009

Beautiful place but very expensive.

Pamela Roesner on Wed Jun 17 2009

I know that Adare Manor is referred to as a "castle" but really it is a fine manor home dba a well-manored boutique hotel. It was wonderful, but for us it did not have that "castle" feeling .

Richard Ingraham on Sun May 10 2009

Adare Manor was truly a beautiful hotel, however knowing that when we booked we also booked for our son which made 3 guest. There was no bed for our son. Though we did not make fuss about it and he slept with my husband and I. Sleeping 3 in a bed was not what we call comfortable at all. We were disappointed in this and felt that we paid for 3 and wasn't accommadated at all.

Akessa Smith on Wed May 6 2009

Fabulous would go back

Carol Hall on Tue Apr 21 2009

A wonderful, relaxing and exceptional hotel. We loved our stay there.

Linda Starling on Mon Mar 23 2009

Fantastic place. Not a single complaint.

Jessica Dimitrov on Fri Mar 20 2009

Was by far my favorite place. Was greeted at the door and had a wonderful stay. Will def. return

Victoria Blocker on Fri Nov 28 2008

Excellent!

Steven Cole on Tue Nov 18 2008

This was amazing! The staff was so nice and everything was wonderful.

Nicole Carr on Mon Oct 13 2008

Adare Manor was a dream -- everything was wonderful

Mary Theo on Thu Sep 18 2008

Loved it, loved it, loved it. This was our first stay in a castle and the place was gorgeous! The staff were so accomodating and really went above and beyond in customer service. I close my eyes and can still see the ivy creeping up the manor house.

Tamara Lesage on Sun Aug 31 2008

Their registration area needs to improve their customer service.

Paul Coughlin on Wed Jun 11 2008

Top class accommodations and appreciated being in such a marvelous environment the day before leaving. The town of ADARE was also very quaint and pleasant to walk aroud.

Mary Mckinlay on Sun Jun 1 2008

We were upgraded to a lovely suite. We dined in the carriage house rather than the formal dining room but the service and food were both wonderful .

Marge Doherty on Wed Apr 30 2008

My husband particularly liked Adare Manor for the golf. He had the game of a lifetime and loves sharing the experience with our friends and family. My daughter and I loved walking the grounds and enjoying the beauty all around. John the doorman was just a sweetheart! We loved our room, and we loved the tour. They should be very proud of their staff. They are warm and friendly. All in all, #1 on our list.

Cecilia Salanger on Tue Apr 22 2008

Totally wonderful experience - beautiful room, food superb, lovely atmosphere, staff very friendly - terrific time

Ms Ali Bampton on Tue Apr 22 2008

Most amazing/unique hotel we've ever been too.

Ben Marino on Mon Dec 17 2007

This was a beautiful location, the staff was great especially the gentleman door greeter. It was the perfect pick for a honeymoon trip like ours.

Natalie Dumas-heidt on Wed Sep 26 2007

This was our favorite place to stay of the trip!!

Lauren Stufflebeem on Tue Sep 25 2007

A WONDERFUL EXPERINCE FOR ALL OF US ,YOUNG AND OLD!

Annie Laura Day on Wed Aug 8 2007

Excellent way to end the vacation! Easy drive to Shannon. Hassel free and felt pampered.

Leanne Ryner on Wed Jul 18 2007

This was my top rated hotel although some of the family preferred Dromoland. The reception was exceptional and all was excellent. I must return for a few days with Ruth so that I can play some golf. The pro shop personnel were also exceptional. The only hitch from me was our dinner....the food was excellent....but the service could have been better. perhaps they had too much for their newly??? trained wait staff. They forgot to check our table for wine list then wine order then pouring etc. I didn't know just where to ding them...hospitality or food and bev, so I picked bev. The breakfast was exceptional and the seervice here was also very good to excellent. Value for money is simply for all that was dear in Ireland compared with our other trips around the world....I know...London is worse!!!

Richard Lockwood on Mon Jul 2 2007

Excellent

Kristof Eisert on Mon Jul 2 2007

We love Adare Manor and plan to stay there again when we return to Ireland. This was our second stay and we were not disappointed at all. It was just as I remembered it.

Donna Jones on Fri Jun 8 2007

Adare Manor was the absolute HIGHLIGHT of our visit. We could have spent a month at Adare Manor and never tired of finding something new to explore. Seamus and Margaret Anne and John the Doorman were the most accommodating, gracious hosts.

Angela Schardan on Thu May 17 2007

Huge property with very large rooms, but a little bit imposing and severe. Great golf course.

Alice Moio on Wed Dec 13 2006

beautiful manor hotel and golf resort, very luxurious, friendly and relaxing.

Elaine Fitzpatrick on Wed Dec 13 2006

A truly beautiful experience! The staff was exceptional and the service impecable. Our only complaint was the coffee - for dinner and breakfast it was much too weak. Other than that it was extraordinary.

Raymond Ryan on Fri Sep 29 2006

A well appointed hotel type accomodation. A welcome experience on our first night in Ireland.

Harold Williams on Mon Jun 19 2006

Faith Benson on Mon May 22 2006

Beautiful hotel!

Jennifer Mccoy on Tue Mar 7 2006

A magnificent hotel with wonderful public rooms and a truly exceptional golf course.

Paul O'Brien on Thu Feb 23 2006

Ideal hotel for honeymoons

Carole Razet on Thu Feb 23 2006

A beautiful, old-fashioned manor with a wonderful view at the garden.

Amela Cardaklija on Wed Feb 22 2006

Adare village is very picturesque and lovely to stroll around. Close to Limerick city and easy to drive to Co Clare or Kerry. Adare Manor is a very impressive old world building which definately gives you the feeling of going back in time. Public area quite opulent rooms more standard. Lots of activities on site, golfing, horseriding, archery etc

Joan O'Connell on Tue Nov 29 2005

large estate. the exterior suits the interior of the public areas. warm, old furniture creates a dated feeling. every room is decorated completely different but do vary in size. leisure facilities good. standards rooms are spacious. people carriers on site which tends to be a great help. tends to be more of a tourist city with many golfers attending. equestian centre, clay shooting. late bar.

Jenna Burton on Tue Nov 29 2005

Beautiful place, that can cater for both individulas and families in their self catering, great grounds with an top class golf course and excellent out door facilities, with a indoor leisure centre that is strictly for the guest.
