"This luxurious Irish country estate and member of the Leading Hotels of the World in County Limerick is a perennial favorite for travelers who want to feel transported back to the mid-1800s when the manor house was built. With a golf course, a luxurious spa, a wealth of outdoor activities, and excellent drinking and dining options, guests never need to step foot off the property. The hotel’s Oak Room is County Limerick’s first Michelin-starred restaurant, where Chef Michael Tweedie celebrates Irish produce, meat, dairy, and seafood in refined dishes like Higgins beef with white asparagus, morel, oxtail, and truffle. There’s also afternoon tea in the Drawing Room, whiskey tastings in the Tack Room, and elegant but laid-back dining at the Carriage House." - Laura Itzkowitz
