The Coach House is the ultimate base camp--and essentially a destination in and of itself! Harry runs a great farm and a great accommodation, blending the best of one with the other by providing fresh eggs and apple juice directly from the farm and allowing guests to walk the grounds. He also has excellent advice on the how, when, & where to help dial your activities both near and farther afield. North Americans, listen up: I know you are looking at a map to locate "Adare" (go ahead, I'll wait: it's just SW of Limerick). Once you find it, you will realize it is close to Shannon airport and a day trip away from the "big-ticket items" you are probably planning to visit (Blarney Castle, Ring of Kerry, Cliffs of Moher, etc.). Trust me--you will be hard pressed to find a more relaxing, comfortable, and immersive experience than staying at the Coach House in Adare!
