We visited the Gate Lodge in Adare at the end of May and found it to be a wonderful accommodation. The entry flowers were beautiful and well maintained. The bedrooms are stacked front to back so you can either enter the back room through the court yard from the kitchen or go through the front bedroom to access the back. The interior was reminiscent of a visit to great-grandma's with the historic pictures on the walls, the cross-stitched table cloth, wood paneling and bread box on the counter in the kitchen. Eammon, the owner, was a wonderful resource for touring the local area and was easy to get hold of when we had questions. The historic Adare Manor is right next door but is under renovation until 2017 so it is not available for tours. There are castles, abbeys and plenty of nice places to eat within easy walking distance and there is parking next to the cottage so if you are driving, you don't have to hike to your car.

We thoroughly enjoyed staying in this most charming cottage. The location in the pretty village of Adare is prime. The cottage is very well maintained and fully equipped for every need. Eammon is a wonderful host. He provided excellent advice on our scenic travels around County Kerry and beyond.

Eamonn made us feel very welcome for our stay at his family's ancestral thatched cottage which is situated right in the heart of the beautiful historic village of Adare County Limerick.
The cottage had everything from a great location including parking and had very facility included to make us feel completely at home.
Eamonn went out of way to help us with car problems and further accommodation requirements we had during our stay. All this was greatly appreciated and way over and above what you would normally expect..
Adare Village is a great location for a break and has everything from historic buildings, country walks, great pubs with music nights and restaurants.

A big thank you again to Eamonn and family.

Have rented this cottage for five years and will be returning this June. It is perfect for children and adults. Adare Village has so much to offer. The house is warm, well equipped, and parking is easy. Eamonn, the owner, is a great host. My grandsons fell in love with the grounds and could play safely in the enclosed yard. There are so many places like Dingle, Kerry, County Clare, and Lough Gurr to visit within a short drive. The airport is close by so coming in and going out is quick and easy.

We thoroughly enjoyed staying in this cottage. We had off the road parking and the host was particularly helpful. The cottage was as charming inside as it was out.

Four of us were going to a wedding in Adare and we found this cottage opposite the hotel. The cottage itself is excellently located and well presented with everything you could need. Eamon is a very helpful and friendly and will do his best to ensure you have an excellent time.
