This fabulous country manor was converted from Queen Anne stables after the main house was burned down during the 1798 Rising. Luxury reigns here, with 29 splendidly appointed rooms, exquisite country-house dining (five-course dinner menu €40) and a par-72 golf course designed by Peter McEvoy and Christy O'Connor Jr. It's 23km southwest of Blessington, off the R756.
