Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was quite the mixed bag. The rooms were so comfortable with garden views, making them a delight to relax in, but not all aspects were up to scratch. However, the view over the garden was delightful, offering a serene atmosphere during my visit.
The hotel had a welcoming atmosphere with cozy fires, but service was inconsistent. The location was outstanding in the center of Adare village, though noise from the street affected sleep quality. The dining experience was decent but with early breakfast hours. The facilities were of a high standard.
Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were certainly comfortable and offered lovely views of the surrounding countryside, though they could use more decor to enhance the atmosphere. The service was excellent overall, but there were unexpected intrusions into privacy. The location is ideal for exploring Adare with various amenities in close proximity, but the property itself might benefit from some updating. The dining experience had its flaws, particularly in breakfast options and timing, but the grilled seafood was enjoyable. Overall, a stay here has its ups and downs.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were spacious and clean, offering a nice view of the green fields, cows in the distance, and the Franciscan Monastery, but felt a bit like an old folks' home. The service was very friendly and welcoming overall, but there were some delays in attending to needs. The location was perfect for exploring nearby attractions, although some areas could use a refresh. The dining experience was good with a variety of options, but room for improvement in certain dishes. Overall, a comfortable stay with a few areas that could be enhanced.
