Like being in a fairytale!
We had an amazing time! We toured the grounds, did the falconry class ( A do not miss!) even on a dreary two day holiday found it to be the nicest place we've ever stayed with regards to the staff , decor, layout and just the whole experience !

Lovely hotel in a charming village and countryside
Hotel room large and well appointed. Slightly let down by bathroom which although a good size was a bit basic and only had overhead shower (no handheld attachment). The bathroom and main room were both quite dark so not good for putting on make up etc. Also no full length mirror (only a tiny one in bathroom and small dressing table mirror). Having said that it didn't spoil the trip in any way! Breakfast good quality and staff really pleasant. Did not eat in main restaurant but walked to the clubhouse and ate in 'carriages' (3 minute walk). Food quite pricey but really good quality and service. Also enjoyed the turndown service and chocolate on the pillow!

wait for the reopen
Was fantastic, location and stile but the hotel is very outdated, in our first night no good tv channels because the TV was not digital and they replaced on the second night for a good one but 50% of my stay was ruined, no counter top in the bathroom no space what so ever no amplify mirror and so on, they are going to close for 18 months to update, for now it is to expensive for what it is

Started off bad--turned to wonderful. We drove from Dublin to Adare. Driving in Ireland, as an American, is pretty nerve-racking as it is, and when we got to the Manor late we were told our king room that we'd booked wasn't available. We were told because we'd booked through Expedia and not directly through them that nothing is guaranteed. We went across the ocean to celebrate a birthday and anniversary and this wasn't acceptable. The Manor made up for the debacle by giving us an enormous, gorgeous suite the following night and putting is on their "VIP" list.

Beautiful hotel, lovely setting.
Outstanding staff. Beautiful hotel and grounds are stunning. Could use a little updating in spots, but as we understand, the hotel will be closing in Jan. 2016 for up to two years for renovations. Wonderful experience all the way around.

outstanding in every aspect, start to finish
Outstanding comfort, beauty, sleep, bedding, atmosphere. It is a well deserved rating of 5 stars. The grounds are gorgeous, with a delightful view around every corner. Fantastic golf course with one of the best closing holes I have seen. Restaurant good for breakfast, casual dinner next door at the Carriage house. Special mention to Remus in the Carriage House- prompt, professional service with a smile

A visit to a time long ago.
The rooms are all so beautiful and the grounds so manicured. Very stately property along a river and stunning golf course. Enjoyed the eight course dinner with the paired wines in the upscale restaurant. Beautiful memorable evening. Read the story of Adare Manor for a walk back in time. Found some great gifts at the Adare Heritage Center in the village not far from the Manor.

The Adare Manor is quite an impressive property. I couldn't help comparing it to Downtown Abbey. From reception to check out, through meals and walking the grounds---everythijhng was first rate.

" No problem at all."
Adare Manor oozes gothic gorgeousness! Set in truly beautiful grounds, the manor is beautiful, comfortable and offers beautiful views. We were able dine by candlelight, from a choice of gourmet menus. Breakfast was lavish, and delicious. Open fires make this grand house cosy and welcoming. I was given a warm welcome by the gracious, talented staff. Huge thanks to all of them. Flowers and champagne appeared in my room, from the excellent manager. The dietary needs of guests are made a priority. I was given outstanding care, all with Irish flair and charm. I cannot wait to go back.

Expected so much more.
Our "superior" room was in the basement down the hall from the pool. The hallway was humid and smelled of the pool chemicals. Iron bars were on the windows of the room. We were pressured to have our dinner drinks quickly to then sit at a table with chairs too low for the tables. Our request to sit at a better table was denied. There are many wonderful hotel options in Ireland, unfortunately the Adare is not one.

Waste of money
I don't understand how anyone can give this a 5 star. The hotel was in need of an overhaul. It looked like it was last renovated in the 80s. There was something black growing over the window. 5 times were loose in the bathroom. Crack chipped walls. We heard they are doing a complete renovation. The grounds are beautiful snd the staff is great. But don't waste 500 a night on this place until it gets redone.

Amazing Adare Manor with Kids
The staff was very welcoming and gracious. The activities, golf, hawk walk and swimmming were fantastic. The grounds and hotel are stunning and Adare is a lovely village. And, all was surprisingly very kid-friendly.

Beautiful Stay - Dont eat at Main Restaurant
Fabulous room & view from room, location, grounds, all staff, golf course - main restaurant was not good enough in both poor service and food quality - eat at 1826 just outside the grounds. A pity the pool was closed otherwise really enjoyed a great stay.

Hardly know where to start; we couldn't have been more pleased. Our room was fantastic, the castle and the grounds were incredible. The golf course was wonderful. We splurged for the one night stay, but it was definitely worth it!

The best hotel I've ever seen much less stayed in.
I cannot begin to even cover how lovely this hotel is. Every time I walked the grounds and looked back at the Manor, I told myself "I can't believe I'm staying in a castle!" It is beautiful inside and out. The hotel staff are wonderful! They are cheerful, helpful and most of all they are authentic. They are not the obsequious type you could find at other hotels of this caliber. Finally, the High Tea is definitely worth the indulgence and the formal restaurant is fantastic. In fact, it was recently voted the Best Hotel Restaurant in Ireland. I agree!

The perfect stay - especially a honeymoon!
Excellent accommodation - no detail left undone and Irish hospitality at its finest! From the moment Gerald greeted us at the door, to our comfortable, exquisite room with a breathtaking view, to the delicious breakfast on the terrace, to the beautiful grounds and all of the exceptional, friendly service from the entire staff our stay was the best we've ever had.

Fantastic - but need an upgrade soon
It was a family gathering, and we enjoyed it immensely. Weather does not matter here. Rooms are very very spacious. Staff are as friendly as you would expect (notwithstanding an overzealous bar tender who advised us of the dress code, when we were just looking around after check-in): no kettle or fridge, by the way. Faciliates are great - though pool and steam room are small, and limited by the standards of this type of hotel. For non-golfers (us) the destruction of many of the walks with the golf course is not welcome - but it appears the moneyed classes - the 1% - mostly play golf, or at least the men do. Restaurant was excellent, inclduing the service.

Very relaxing place to stay - I highly recommend!
The hotel is a very relaxing place to spend a few days. Although it was busy there was a sense of quiet at all times. The grounds are beautiful and the village which is very picturesque is only a few minutes walk through the grounds. The service is absolutely excellent. The building itself is gorgeous. The staff, and in particular the cleaning staff who you meet in hallways and the likes are very friendly. The only downside really was the lack of changing facilities for men at the pool/gym.

Beautiful hotel with some cleanliness issues
This hotel is stunning to look at. We stayed in the actual house (as opposed to the rooms in the newer section). The service was excellent and accommodating. The rooms were decorated beautifully, and we were upgraded to a suite that looked out over the garden which was great. I had some issues with the cleanliness of the room however. There were dust bunnies in the top if the bathroom, and when I pulled off the comforter there was what looked like blood on the inside of the comforter, which was not appealing. Also, for the price I expected top notch linens; the towels were big, but thin and scratchy. Lastly, the rooms were quite noisy. Some other guests were talking in a normal voice in the hall in the morning and it sounded like they were in the room with us. Not huge issues, but I guess I expected more from a 5 star hotel. They had a nice paved trail for walking and running and you could easily walk to town. I thoroughly enjoyed the tour of the house and the Tack Room Bar was fun.

truly 5 star
Our stay was wonderful. Only complaint was we seemed to be invisible at breakfast People who came in after us were served as we waited and could not get the attention of staff. Wait staff should always look around the room at all tables and they did not. It was surprising to see that in a hotel like this.

Not enough staff
Beautiful hotel, but the staff was overwhelmed by an average sized wedding on site. When we arrived, most of the common rooms were reserved for the wedding. For example, their bar was not open. We did eat in their main dining room later in the evening when it was finally open to other guests. They only had two waiters for about 20 dining guests, and service was extremely slow (no one approached us for 20 minutes). It took over one hour to get our first course. It was definately not the 5 star experince that we expected.

This hotel is an experience! It's an incredible manor on a gigantic piece of property - walk to a cute town 10 minutes away. Bar and drawing rooms charming. Only stayed one night. Next time will plan to stay longer! Rooms were gigantic - felt like I was staying in a friend's home.

At our Irish Castle
The Adare Manor was everything we expected and more. Luckily we were led to our rooms as we may have gotten lost on our own and run into some of Scooby-Do's villains. The golf course was challenging but beautiful and the pro shop staff were great. We rented bicycles from the Boutique and Agnes was a delight and good at her job (my wife and mother in-law found many must-haves with her help). The bike ride throughout the grounds was fun and an hour is plenty, too bad you can't take the bikes to town. Adare Village is a fun little place to venture into as well. The Oak Room staff was pleasant and the food was excellently prepared. The candlelight in the lower part of the Oak Room set the perfect ambience for staying in a Castle and we were fortunate enough to have a clear night with a beautiful full moon as well (we went outside and took some amazing pictures of the Manor at night with the moon.. enlarging them to canvas they are soo spectacular). The rooms were large, comfortable, and I didn't think that they could be topped until you return to your bed turned down. The only funny thing about the rooms is the large wooden key to carry around, just more character. All of our meals at the Manor were outstanding. If you're looking for a special or romantic holiday this is the place.

Beautiful
This place is a far cry from Chicago! It was beautiful! Loved our room and the service was fabulous. The only thing that was unfortunate was our dinner at the Carriage on New Years Eve. The food was less than standard and it was very expensive for what it was. It was our least favorite meal out of all the different places we went to in Ireland. But the Manor was great and the service was amazing. We'd come back but not to eat there.
