TAKING A STEP BACK IN TIME... Are you looking for something uniquely different? Would you like to experience first-hand an authentically furnished Victorian-styled mansion with high-ceiling hallways and rooms festooned with original paintings and relics from a bygone era?
You don't mind if any of family members (Marguerite, Richard and/or CarolAnn) greets you personally do you? They are out to make your stay at Clonalis a 5 Star experience.
Questions or concerns? Do ask, or tell...
Can you exist without t.v. or wifi in your room? You might prefer to spend some time in the Manuscript Room and 'feel' the history of this magnificent family home come to life. Or sit in the Library by the open fire (Richard ensures the fires will burn on) and read a book or chat with others who share your interest in all things historical. (By the way, free wifi is available in the dining room should you 'need a fix')...
Dinner (3 or 5 course) will be served at 8:00 p.m. should you choose this as an option. Marguerite and her staff will make this a meal to remember...
Breakfast (included) offers up a choice of delicious plates (you really should try Marguerite's Full Irish). After breakfast why not take a leisurely stroll towards the main gate to Clonalis and on to the cemetery where you can visit the O'Conor family plot?...
Are you willing to settle for the sounds of silence at night? A restful night's sleep awaits you in a comfortable and cozy bed. Your spacious and elegantly appointed room (and oversized bathroom) make staying in a hotel seem rather ordinary and droll. You may have to wait a wee bit longer for the water to run hot but but that goes with the size and age of the property. Patience will be rewarded...
Will you get a bang for your Euro? We think so, especially considering the location, the historical ambiance and the excellent service provided by the owners and their staff. Highly recommend Clonalis House!
