Average time to visit
It is very difficult to predict the weather in Ireland - in the summer from May to late September is generally seen as the most pleasant time to visit. Rainfall is difficult to predict - but Ireland does not receive as much as many are led to believe! In the winters, temperatures do fall, but there is nothing better than finding a remote pub with a roaring fire to sit beside after a long walk in the country.

Porters clad with dusters and top hats collect your bag and welcome you as you arrive at the luxurious Adare Manor. The expansive stone walls of this beautiful building transport you to a life of historical wonder. Upon entrance to the manor, the decor allows you to feel as though you have stepped into another life. Past the glorious manor walls, explore the beautiful and quaint village of Adare. Make sure to try new things at Adare Manor as they have many activities on offer. Get to know Irelands flying predators social side with falconry or try your hand at archery or clay pigeon shooting. From fine dining at The Oak Room to a more casual meal in The Carriage House, there are food options for everyone. Also, make sure to leave time for a stop at the posh underground Tack Bar. After spending your days exploring the grounds, the village, and all the food in Ireland, retire to your room where the plush bedding waits to envelope you.

Adare Manor reveals how truly special it is within moments of your arrival. Porters clad with dusters and top hats collect your bag and welcome you to the hotel guiding you into the grand main castle. The towering grey stone transports you to a different century and seemingly a different world. As you enter the manor it feels as if your are in a 16th century palace, ornate rugs, grand chandelier tower above your head and the stone work is truly stunning with impressive carvings. Take some time to walk around the river on the many paths for fabulous views of the castle and grounds, and discover the many activities featured on property. Try something new such as falconry or try your hand at archery! Take some time away from the property and enjoy the town surrounding Adare, cute shops and cafes lie just outside the property walls. The many restaurants at Adare will definitely keep you satisfied. From a fine dining experience at The Oak Room where the chef showcases Irish delicacies using Irish produce or a more casual meal in The Carriage House, make sure to leave time and room for a visit to the posh Tack Bar. This bar is underground with low mood lighting, plush red booths, and deep house music so you will feel as though you are at a Hollywood after party with the most exclusive crowd.

When you drive through the magnificent gates, you will feel your blood pressure drop as you begin to see a glimpse of the stately manor house at the end of the drive. After a 2 year and 200 million-euro sympathetic restoration, this grand dame is a luxury retreat like none other. The rooms are beautiful, luxurious and neutral in decor. Each room and suite has been decorated to the highest standard and I had a very restful night's sleep during my stay. The grand hall, the drawing room and the gallery of the hotel have been carefully restored from tip to top. The grounds of the hotel are expansive, and they offer many activities to keep you as active or relaxed as you wish during your stay.
