Arriving just outside Cahir, guests find a country-house hotel in the foothills of the Galtee Mountains, with gardens and views towards the Knockmealdown Mountains. The building began as the Earl of Glengall’s nineteenth-century hunting lodge, and its interiors combine period and contemporary style with antique furniture. The hotel hosts occasions including family celebrations, communions and confirmations. At Saddlers Restaurant, the food is described as traditional home cooking, while Renard’s Bar provides a place for a drink. Nearby, a stay can take in Cahir Castle and the Rock of Cashel, or activities such as golf, cycling, horse riding and fishing; on departure, Cork and Shannon airports are each about fifty minutes away.
