Truly a *little bit of heaven* is the 200-year-old Dunraven Arms in the heart of Adare, Ireland*s prettiest village - its river flowing past medieval ruins and mellow thatched cottages. Prepare for a surprise: behind the rustic facade is sophisticated comfort that has entertained royalty. All the 74 en suite executive rooms and suites have the luxury of a private dressing room. The gym, business and leisure centres are equipped with state-of-the-art facilities. Celebrated Dunraven hospitality extends to the award-winning Maigue Restaurant, famous for Irish delicacies with a modern twist, as well as The Inn Between Restaurant, housed in one of the original thatched cottages, which is both highly rated and reasonably priced. All of Ireland's greatest gifts are right on the doorstep: every sort of equestrian activity with top quality horses to hire, 22 world-class golf courses and unlimited trout and salmon fishing in the local lakes and rivers.
