"The ONLY drawback to this hotel is the traffic… there is currently only one main road through the beautiful village of Adare and it is constantly gridlocked. The hotel sits right on the main road and if you have a room at the front you will hear traffic. We were told that they are building a bypass to take traffic around the village (the 2027 Ryder Cup golf tournament is being held here) which will be a huge improvement! Other than that the property is incredible, with beautiful antique furnishings and interesting artwork, an onsite spa, reading/writing rooms with views of the gardens and a wonderful breakfast served in the dining room. Adare village is exquisite and this hotel is a special experience."
