Adare Manor Hotel and Golf Resort, Adare

Advantages: Good food, high quality service
Disadvantages: Adare, although picturesque, is a bit 'touristy'

...Adare is a picture postcard village 6 or 7 miles South of Limerick, picturesque thatched cottages mostly now antique shops and high quality restaurant. The Dunraven Arms is right in the heart of the village. A rambling 2 storey hotel with and 'olde worlde' pub and Egon Ronay approved restaurant at its centre. Facilities are good with a superbly kitted out health centre and some high quality shops within the hotel. The hotel caters for small business conferences and events with a very reasonable day delegate rate. Accommodation is excellent, our room had a 4 poster bed and acres of space (nice old/substantial furniture). The shower was stunning (almost literally) and the bathroom was bigger than some hotel rooms I've stayed in. In the morning a huge Irish breakfast set us up for the day. The hotel is close to the golf course. I... Read review

Advantages: Very friendly staff, wonderful suroundings, plenty to do
Disadvantages: You'll fall in love and not want to come home

...paid £200 for a his and hers massage that lasted just over the hour!!!! Something I didnt realise before we arrived at the resort was that the two hotels are seperated by a main road.

I thought it would be a chore and that I had made a mistake in booking this particular complex, but quickly learnt that the buses come very regularly, a one leaves another arrives and this continues all night, so you are never stuck around waiting for more than 5 minutes. Also to get from your villa within the mountain side to the Manor building there are little bus stops outside each cluster of villas, you may have a wait of 5-10 minutes but a little milk float type of vehicle will come and pick you up and take you where ever you want to go. As I have said we went... Read review

Advantages: The atmosphere and feeling.
Disadvantages: None whatsoever

...Hi well well well. Here we are a the home of golf herself, St.Andrews. In the east of Scotland, Fife there lies a 8 18 hole golf resort with a five shar hotel. Well does it get much better than this, well yes. Its all good talking about this resort but you cant judge a place without going there. When you walk over the magical bridge on the 18th on the old course there isnt much of a better feeling than that.The course is always in tip top condition and thats all 8 courses. The hotel aint bad either. 5 star luxery is what you recieve here and you definatly wont be dissapointed. For none golfer there is also a spar to keep ou busy. So take a nice holiday to scotland and go to the fabolous st.Andrews!... Read review
