Breakfast, ranging from full Irish to vegetarian options, is cooked to order from our award-winning menu. It is served to resident guests in the elegant dining room overlooking the gardens. We also have our own well which supplies fresh, clear spring water. There are more nooks and surprising little crannies than you'd get in a huge hotel. With five sitting rooms - each with a different view and mood - you can sit in privacy and watch the trees rustle or make some new friends while enjoying the library.
