This place is an absolute gem and I picked Coateslands based on the reviews and its architecture. We were not disappointed. Where do I start?
Upon our arrival we were greeted by Florence, who is one of the most amazing ladies that we have had the pleasure to meet. We were shown to our comfortable room which was spotless and well appointed. Florence provided excellent advice on where to eat. We wanted a typical Irish pub meal and Florence recommended a number of places with sage advice on each.
Breakfast the next morning was one of those rare treats that you cannot plan. We met Donal at breakfast who, despite ill health, was a fantastic host. However it was Florence who stole the show. During our magnificent breakfast in one of the best laid out breakfast rooms that we have seen in any B & B, we were treated to a sparkling conversation with Florence. To say that she is an amazing lady is an understatement. Stories about her life growing up in Adare, her career and just her life in general had us enthralled. We left so much later than we had planned as we were enjoying her company so much. The food was excellent and was only complimented by the company and conversation with Florence and Donal.
We should also mention Winnie who is a very well behaved and beautiful dog.
It experiences like our stay at Coatesland House that make travelling special.
