We had the pleasure of spending a night in Michael and Kathleens home recently, where we experienced Irish hospitality at its best. Michael provived a warm welcome, with a fire lighting and homemade afternoon tea, followed by ideas on where (and where not) to eat in local Adare. Our room was fresh, clean and ideal for our overnight stay. the next morning I was leaving at 6am, but my husband was not departing until much later. Nothing was too much trouble for Michael. He provided a delicious continental breakfast, laid out in the dining room for my early departure, then cooked a full Irish hours later for my husband.
Everything was perfect.
This is a family run country house, not a run of the mill hotel, therefore dont expect tv and tea making in the room, or an ensuite, however the warm welcome, and friendly hosting will outweigh any modern exceptions.
