EXCITE - A Hot Air Balloon FlightGuests of Adare Manor Hotel & Golf Resort already enjoy a full range of outdoor activities on the grounds of the estate, and starting March 1, 2010 when the hotel launches regular hot air balloon flights they can also experience the beauty of Adare Manor and South Ireland from the air. The flights, which take-off directly from the grounds of Adare Manor, will be the only balloon flights to travel this far south in Ireland—floating over the 840-acre Adare estate for aerial views of its French formal gardens, expansive grounds, and River Maigue. Where the balloon goes next is dependent on the wind direction that day and only known by the pilot, adding a decidedly exciting aspect to the adventure.

ACQUIRE - A stroll through Adare VillageWith its woodland setting, beautiful stonework, picturesque thatched cottages and fine broad Main Street, Adare is a very special place. Spend time browsing through the antique shops, boutiques, art galleries, and getting acquainted with the local people in one of the many restaurants and pubs. One should truly experience the Irish people and learn what they have made an art form...conversation.

INDULGE - Indulge in Some Quiet TimeCurl up in front of the fire with a glass of brandy and a good book, in the oldest room in the Manor House. Within these ancient walls, time and space are given over to quiet activities, quietest of all is the library. Its shelves house many older volumes and classics in several languages. Of particular note are a complete set of the works of Dumas and antique editions of Lucretius, Terence and Statius, the aged inner leaves of which have yet to be cut open.
