County Laois

Lovely country house hotel. Interiors are warm and welcoming with brightly painted walls, oil paintings and four poster beds. Superb dining in the communal dining room, often with the hosts. Herb garden and book-filled sitting room. A treat.

An immaculately restored, opulently furnished, Regency country mansion situated at the foot of the Slieve Bloom mountains. Five star luxury throughout. Sumptuous rooms filled with original Irish art. The price tag is steep, but it is on a full board basis with little extras like laundry included too
