The evenings

Larkins was voted number one in The Times Best Pubs in Ireland 2026. Killaloe and Ballina, twenty minutes on, add a further half-dozen restaurants. Tables can be held for a group in advance at Larkins and at Goosers in Ballina, booked and paid directly.

The site
Questions
Is this suitable for two families travelling together?
Yes — it may be the best use of the site. The two houses are separate and self-contained, so each family has its own space and bedrooms, with the main house kitchen and sitting room for everyone together in the evening. Eight bedrooms sleep up to seventeen.
How far is the property from Adare Manor?
Fifty-five minutes by road, on the quiet side of Limerick. Match-day journeys will take longer with road closures and park-and-ride in operation, so allow extra time.
Can we book just one of the houses?
Not for these dates — the site is let as a whole. The Stables is available on its own at other times of year.
Is there anything to do besides the golf?
A great deal, and that's part of the point of a twelve-night stay. Bunratty Castle and Folk Park is forty minutes, the Rock of Cashel, Birr Castle and its gardens under the hour, and Galway city an hour and a half. Closer to home there's Lough Derg itself — boat trips from Ballina/Killaloe, Holy Island off Mountshannon, and walking and kayaking on the Lough Derg Blueway.
What's on site for children?
[Table tennis, a basketball hoop, and open lawns for running about — plus the harbour and lake five minutes away.]
Are the bedrooms doubles or twins?
The main house has five double rooms and one twin; The Stables has one double and one double-plus-single. A golf group taking single occupancy of every room would sleep ten; a mixed group of couples and families sleeps up to seventeen.
Is there parking for a minibus?
Yes — parking for several vehicles with turning space for a minibus or coach transfer.
What's the nearest airport?
Shannon, forty-five minutes. Dublin is roughly two hours by road.
Do we need a car?
Yes. This is a rural site. Most groups take a minibus or two hire cars.
Is there wifi?
500 Mbps broadband across both houses.
How do we book, and what deposit is needed?
Get in touch directly. A non-refundable deposit of 30% confirms the dates, with the balance due ninety days before arrival.
What happens if the tournament is postponed?
The booking transfers to the corresponding dates at the rescheduled event and the deposit carries over.
