Adare Manor
Restored grandeur plus scenic golfing in the heart of Ireland






A complete restoration of this 840-acre manor – built for the Earl of Dunraven – has resulted in enlivened vintage touches such as Killaloe slate roofs, bronze window frames, timber doors and immaculate stone floors. The much-expanded neogothic gem now boasts 104 guest rooms – indulge in the Dunraven Staterooms or the aptly aristocratic Signature Suites (complete with private butler) – all commanding views of the emerald Irish countryside and the estate’s soon-to-open, restructured championship golf course. Also featuring a quartet of eateries plus the upcoming Carriage House restaurant, and offering outdoor activities such as falconry and game shooting, Adare Manor should take its place on your early-year vacation list.
