History of Adare Manor
The manor "structurally" as it exists today was not begun until 1832.  The Second Earl of Dunraven and his wife, Lady Caroline Wyndham, were living in a Georgian house built in the 1720's by Valentine Quin, grandfather of the first Earl.  The structure is a series of visual allusions to famous Irish and English homes that the Dunravens admired.  It is replete with curious eccentricities such as the turreted entrance tower at one corner rather than in the center, 52 chimneys to commemorate each week of the year, 75 fireplaces and 365 leaded glass windows.  One of the most renowned interior spaces is the Minstrels' Gallery (pictured above): 132 foot long, 26 1/2 foot high expanse inspired by the Hall of Mirrors in Versailles and lined on either side with 17th Century Flemish Choir Stalls.  The 840 acre estate that surround the Manor House consists of sweeping parklands, cultivated gardens, magnificent mature trees, and the River Maigue, one of Ireland's best trout rivers.  In 1987, the Kane Family of Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, Acquired the Manor.  The delicate and detailed restoration was completed in 1988 transforming Adara Manor into a world-class home away from home.  In 1989 the River Wing, indoor swimming pool and conference rooms were completed.

The Manor bedrooms are the most exclusive accommodation on the property.  Set in a unique and grand Gothic style Manor house, you fell like you are in the most elegant castle imaginable.  The hallways are made of stone and wood and the ceilings soar high above you, as you wander to your historical bedroom.  The rooms have been elegantly decorated with rich wood furnishings and exquisite fabrics.  The Manor has four different categories of rooms, varying in size and price.  The room types include 1 Presidential Suite, 4 Dunraven Staterooms, 8 Staterooms, 34 Deluxe rooms and 15 Standard rooms.


Golf at Adare Manor
The Adare Golf Club is an 18-hole championship golf course which opened in 1995 and is set on the 840 acre estate of Adare Manor Hotel & Golf Resort.  This was the last major golf course designed by legendary Robert Trent Jones, Senior.  This majestic design has gained international acclaim as one of his finest creations.  Adare Golf Club measures 7,453 yards and uses 230 acres of lush Irish countryside.  The exquisite parkland atmosphere of the demesne has been preserved with the course set amid magnificent mature trees.  The course contains many aquatic features including a 14 acre lake anchoring the front nine holes.  The River Maigue meanders through the entire gold course creating a sense of beauty and challenge.

"This golf course is top notch.  It has quality from tee to green.  It has the ability to take the number one slot from Valderamma.  The venue is spectacular." - Padraig Harrington, winner 2007 Irish Open Golf Championship, Adare, Co. Limerick
