Adare Manor Restaurant, Limerick

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

Disadvantages: No leisure facilities

...Set in the wonderfully picturesque but quaintly small village of Bunratty (which is actually in County Clare, and not Limerick), this Hotel is absolutely wonderful. From the very first moment I walked into the hotel, I knew I had chosen the right one.

The hotel itself is located between Limerick City (8 miles away) and Shannon Airport (7 miles away). While the hotel is on the small side with just 22 rooms, the quality of the accomodation is second to none. This is reflected in the price, but then again, you get... Read review

...Tankersley Manor is a place that I have been to a few times over the years and it was also the location of my work's Christmas Party at the end of last year. It is a well known Hotel and Restaurant with a good local reputation. THE BACKGROUND From the outside Tankersley Manor is quite impressive to say the least, standing in its own well maintained Gardens and Grounds and surrounded by Woodland the building itself is a rather imposing Stone built building. The Hotel as you see it today has been extensively restored but it has been built around a 17th Century Manor House that once occupied the location. THE FACILITIES Tankersley Manor has a Restaurant, a Health Club and 70 rooms all with en suite facilities. Much of the building has been restored to its original character and there are original Oak beams on the ceilings... Read review
