Voted the Best Hotel Bar in Ireland, 2009 …
… by the Nation Hospitality Awards 2009 …. at the Dunraven Arms Hotel in Adare, Co. Limerick …. and we stayed there !!!!!!
My hubby will show you in ….
… (drumroll .. ta da !!) …. and this is it … the pub at the Dunraven Arms
… with the bar counter … and comfy chairs in the bay window where we sat and ate the most delicious meal washed down with Guinness and red wine. Hubby had the most tasty and tender beef stew and I had haddock, cooked to perfection and served with mash and green beans. For our second meal in Adare we decided to try a family run restaurant in the village, within walking distance, and had the most delicious lamb roast !!!
A cosy fireplace to keep the little ‘tootsies’ warm in winter …




A short stroll away from the hotel is a well-kept park which has a tributary of the River Maigue running through it. The bridge (behind the green arum leaves to the left of pic) is called a Droichidin, a two arched bridge under which the river flows. At this point is The Washing Place where, in the long-ago-days, the women of the village did all their washing …
… then opposite the park is the Trinitarian Priory ….

… were built by the Earl of Dunraven in 1828 for his estate workers .. now they are private homes, cafes and restaurants …
