The Dunraven, Adare

It's been years since I went to the Dunraven, and I always had lovely memories of it. Recently, we had the pleasure of staying there. The hotel is in the most beautiful and picturesque village of Adare, and it was a gorgeous experience. From the moment we arrived, we were struck by its timeless elegance and warm, welcoming atmosphere. The building is full of charm, with beautifully maintained Georgian features, original paintings, cosy drawing rooms, and roaring fireplaces that make you feel right at home. The staff were brilliant, attentive, professional, and friendly, ensuring every detail was just right. Our room was spacious, tastefully decorated, and incredibly comfortable with duck down pillows and quilts, pure linen bed linen and had lovely touches like plush robes and a peaceful view of the Abbey. I treated myself to a swim in the pool in the morning, and noted the sauna, but didn't indulge as we didn't have time. The hotel is situated in the heart of the village, and from our bedroom window we could see people walking a route in the distance, which turns out to be a loop walkway that I intend to explore next time. It's partly visible as you exit towards Limerick on the left-hand side as a river walk, and it looks most glorious. There was someone flyfishing in the river as we crossed over. The hotel is the perfect base for exploring all of this and the village, with its thatched cottages, gorgeous boutiques, milners, and cool shoe shops. If you're looking for a relaxing escape with old-world charm, exceptional service, and good hospitality, I can’t recommend the Dunraven Arms highly enough. We’ll be returning. We stayed on a Saturday night in June to attend a local wedding. The room was gorgeous and spacious, and thinking in retrospect, it was all wheelchair friendly. It completely exceeded our expectations.

I used to live nearby, & had been there only for meals It is an excellent hotel. the standard has never slipped Food quality is exceptional Rooms are beautiful, spotless, & well equipped Staff are lovely & obliging will certainly come back!

Lovely big bedroom, comfortable bed, & I slept well. On arrival a pot of tea was brought to my room & I was informed that Princess Grace of Monaco had slept in the bedroom while on a visit to Adare.Large bathroom with power shower, ample whites fluffy towels and lots of toiletries provided. A spacious dress room with ironing board & iron & large mirror, & hairdryer. My room was at the front of the hotel but I didn't hear the traffic outside. Breakfast delicious, lots to choose from & staff were very attentive. I enjoyed the baked ham cut freshly from joint at the buffet. I ordered poached eggs on toasts from the kitchen which arrived promptly. Overall I enjoyed my stay at Dunraven Hotel & will definitely be returning.

Staff very friendly & attentive. Breakfast had great choice & was delicious. Bed so comfy! Overall very little to crib about.

Really nice hotel. Although the room was nice, the only view was a flat roof. The night porter had a coffee and a few snacks ready for me in the morning. Nice touch organised by the receptionist who checked me in. But the porter was very nice
