thatched cottages, castle
Con
kind of an up-scale place, other villages feel more "homey"
In a nutshell
One of the many lovely villages in Ireland!
mvtouring Says: The thing I read about and that I wanted to come and see. Lots of tourists around and parking is rather limited here in this area, but well worth seeing. Lol like I am not a tourist ;-)
mvtouring Says: Walking around Adare and discovering the old cottage is quite a lot of fun and the people who lived here many years ago must have had a lot of fun but i suppose also hardship.
mvtouring Says: Desmond Castle or fortress is said to have first been built by the O'Donovans, rulers of the region into the late 12th century, and afterwards to have passed into the possession of the Kildare branch of the FitzGerald dynasty, who may be responsible for the majority of the...
mvtouring Says: In the year 1464, Thomas Fitz-Maurice, the 7th Earl of Kildare and his wife Joan, founded the friary and it was completed two years later. It is currently a ruin and is located inside the Adare Manor Golf Club. Should you be in Adare during easter time then you can go there...
mvtouring Says: Established by the Trinitarian Order as their only monastery in Ireland in the year 1230. The Abbey was restored in 1811 by the first Earl of Dunraven as the Catholic Parish church.
globetrott Says: Adare with all its wonderful straw-thatched houses is one of the places I always made a stop for a few hours, when I get into the area around Dingle-Island.On the main street, close to the castle ( that is used as a luxury-hotel today ) you will find 6 or 7 of these great...

globetrott Says: Adare also has 4 great friaries easy to be found around the castle as well.One of these friaries is placed inside the golf-court of the hotel and might be visited by hotel-guests only.When it comes to shopping, Adare is certainly also a tourist-trap, as prices are rather...
Law5 Says: I have stayed at the Dunraven Arms in Adare twice. Wonderful experience both times. The staff really knows how to take care of you. The rooms are huge, quiet and the beds are very comfortable. Wood floors in the bathrooms. Excellently maintained facility. Not really a...
Dunraven Arms: best in Ireland
Law5 Says: We stayed at the Dunraven Arms and found it to be the nicest place we stayed in Ireland. Huge, sparkling clean modern room. Excellent service. Make your reservation for dinner when you reserve your room, since the food is great and it's a popular place to eat. peaceful,...
globetrott Says: In a place like this, better don't ask for the price - simply bring enough money with you !!! This hotel is built inside an old castle and it is also surrounded by a large park and a wall around it.Walking through that park might take quite some time, it even has its own...
kathycollins Says: Adare is generally on the "tour bus" route, so things are marketted for tourists - food and accommodations are priced higher here! It is a lovely little town and worth a visit - but I wouldn't plan to stay here. Try nearby NewcastleWest or Limerick for more moderately...
Adare - a lot more pics to come
globetrott Says: There will be a lot more infos and pics about Adare here soon.... So I simply load the same pic again for the moment, as I think my pic of Adare looks much better than the pale Taij-Mahal in the VT-version ;-))
globetrott Says: Adare is well worth a visit, even if some of these straw-thatched houses look a bit unreal and certainly THIS NEVER was the REAL IRELAND.... But its a lovely place still, and its nice to have a walk through town
kathycollins Says: Desmond Castle is undergoing restoration. When my niece and I went to sneak in to the construction site to see the castle, a foreman came along. After talking for a while he graciuosly invited us in. We had a unique opportunity to learn ALL about castle restoration from an...
