I have been lucky enough in my time as a journalist to review a fair few fabulous hotels. Five star properties are designed to give you the princess treatment and generally, for the price tags they charge, it’s the least you should expect.
But for a hotel to leave you feeling not just princess-levels of spoilt but totally and utterly blown away is rare. Adare Manor, a sprawling, 19th century castle hotel near Limerick on Ireland’s West coast, is just such a place.
