Dunraven Arms in Adare

Wonderful "old world" hotel right in Adare village. Spacious rooms. Very comfortable, if some might consider "tired", we found comforting. Excellent dinner, rib of beef proper medium rare, to die for.

Always love a visit to or a stay in the Dunraven. The lobby and bar area are just so comfortable, quaint and relaxed. The food in the bar area is excellent and very local. While there is a cosy bar area there is also a sun filled conservatory area to eat in. There are daily specials for lunch ( at least two) and the soup and sandwich combo is excellent value. Sandwiches are either on excellent brown bread or on tasty sourdough. The local Limerick ham and local cheddar is particularly good.

Lovely hotel in the heart of Adare. I'll happily stay again. The room was a good size and very modern for a such an old hotel. No tea and coffee making for facilities which I thought was strange for such a nice hotel. The breakfast was good with a great selection of stuff on offer.

Very clean, warm in the room despite fosty nights. Fantastic staff on the reception, the restaurant and accommodation. Gym and swimming pool open from 7am-9pm.

Great hospitality from casey would highly recommend check in staff also very good

What a fantastic hotel Everything is excellent Food, service, facilities wow. Top notch all round Will be back

We wanted to stay in the Adair area. The location was excellent, walkable to all the local restaurants and stores in the area.

The dining resides in the hotel and serves a pretty typical Irish breakfast, their porridge is OK, not the best, but definitely not the worst. Service is attentive and prompt. My wife enjoyed a cheese and mushroom omelette. The bread and pastry are definitely not in house and falls short of being close to desirable.

Myself and my husband had our wedding reception at The Dunraven Arms in July 2024 and we cannot speak highly enough of our experience throughout. From the first day of meeting Louis and his staff, we were made to feel so welcome and were so assured by their kindness and professionalism. In preparing for the day, we were given ample time by Louis to meet, discuss and plan everything according to our wishes. The day itself will be etched in our memories for the rest of our lives. Everything was top class from start to finish. The food, the staff, the ambience. We could not have wished for better. Our enthusiasm was shared by our many guests who were effusive in their praise of the hotel, the entire staff, and the delicious meal enjoyed by all. A special word of thanks to Hugh, Denis, Mariah and the wider catering staff. In summary, we loved our time at The Dunraven Arms. The staff were all exceptional and the standard of catering and accommodation was superb. A very sincere thank you to you all. Hats off on a job superbly done. Mary Thérèse and Brendan Crowley

A disappointing stay in The Dunraven for me. I had a lovely memory of a break here a number of years ago. As a result I booked a two night's special, as a treat for my husband, who is recovering from recent surgery. I thought he would benefit from some peace and quiet in warm comfortable surroundings. I was so taken aback when we were shown to our room. A ghastly, lurid electric blue, hard leather sofa and chair assaulted our senses. Gone also were the carpets and curtains and everything that contributed to that lovely memory of my previous stay. The room was the opposite of calm and restful. I had a visceral reaction to the jarring colour and lack of comfortable seating and asked if we could move to another room with soft furnishings. I was told this wasn't possible without paying extra for an upgrade to a junior suite, all the executive rooms were decorated to the same standard. I had to pay the extra to escape the awful decor. Visitors beware, if hard leather electric blue seating is your thing, you'll be in heaven, otherwise you might share my dismay at the "upgrade". In the hotel's favour the bed was magnificent, it was like sleeping on a cloud. The breakfasts too were excellent. A special mention to Alyssia and Anyssia in the dining room, they were so lovely, gentle and professional and helped lift our spirits.
