There is something seriously enticing about the idea of a hideaway in a city, somewhere special to retreat to away from the hustle and bustle. And, while it may be hard to imagine that one of Limerick’s finest Georgian houses could be a ‘Small Stay’, that is the feeling about this special place - and it is down to private ownership, along with the personal hospitality and care that goes with it to make it a home-from-home. The location is ideal too - overlooking a leafy park (with a lovely view from the first floor drawing room, where Afternoon Tea is served), private parking nearby and only a short walk from the station and the City Art Gallery. Having a holistic spa on site - using only the gorgeous Voya organic products from Sligo, which are also in the bathrooms - adds to the feeling too. You will go out to explore of course, eventually, but everything needed for a restful and restorative break is here – including the thoughtfully varied local and seasonal food offerings in the lovely Long Room, to suit different occasions and times of day, along with plenty of treats to drink. Patricia Roberts and her team have thought of everything for that hideaway break.
