Lakeside Country Manor

When Condé Nast traveler magazine, in 2002, awarded the Adare Manor Hotel and Golf Resort as its number one find it is People’s Choice Awards, one of the major reasons for their selection was that the Adare Manor Hotel and Golf Resort is a place where there is never nothing to do.  Visiting this Hotel and golf resort is also a visit to a world-class spa, an outstanding equestrian center, a challenging cross-country trail, and a terrific selection of five-star restaurants at which patrons can recover from their days on the links, on horseback, or on the trail.

Lovers of 18th-century architecture will be dazzled by the turrets and ornate stone masonry of the Manor House, while gardeners will be lost in a dream as they explore its breathtaking grounds and ancient ruins.  Adare Manor House offers sleeping accommodations both within the castle itself and in separate three-and-four-bedroom villas a 15- minute stroll from the Manor House.  The villas have fully equipped kitchens and master baths with soaking tubs. Those privileged to sleep in one of the 62 bedrooms within the manor house itself may feel overwhelmed by the castle’s ancient wood and stone construction, not to mention its soaring ceilings.

The Clubhouse at the Adare Manor House and Golf Resort has a wonderful outdoor seating area where you and friends can gather following an afternoon on the links to relax over a drink as the sun sinks below the horizon to the west.  If you have come to the Adare Manor Hotel for a romantic getaway, relax with your beloved over at candlelit dinner in the Oakroom Restaurant.  If you prefer meals within international flair and flavor, then head for the Carriagehouse Restaurant.

Many visitors have come to the Adare Manor Hotel in search of rest and healing.  They are welcomed by a staff of professional therapists skilled in the arts of relaxation and rejuvenation.  The hotel’s facilities also include a year-round indoor swimming pool and a fully equipped fitness room.  Guests who prefer outdoor exercise will love the cross-country trail and the equestrian center, where the Manor staff will arrange a ride on a suitable mount.

The crown jewel of the Adare Manor Hotel and Golf Resort, however, is the Robert Trent Jones 18-hole championship golf course, which opened in 1995.  The final major golf course he designed, it is widely regarded as one of his best. It contains 7453 yards spread over 230 acres of emerald Irish countryside, made all the more enchanting and challenging by a 14 acre lake bordering nine of its holes, and the River Maigue coursing and tumbling through its landscapes.

If your idea of the perfect golfing vacation is one which offers much, much more than golf, the Adare Hotel and Golf Resort is where you belong!
