We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with Florence and Donal. We were made to feel so welcome. For our first night we were the only guests and had pick of the rooms. Being the only guests didn't limit the breakfast choices as we had a huge range of items to select from and couldn't possibly finish the huge cooked breakfast. Sitting by the open fire on our last night there chatting with Florence and Donal will be a highlight of our trip. Unbelievable hospitality and Winni was adored by us all, especially our two teenage children.

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.

My husband and I stayed here for one evening and it was a great pleasure. It is located on the main road and just outside the lovely village of Adare. The hospitality was wonderful. The Hogan’s thought of everything. Our room was very comfortable and very clean. Florence recommended a local restaurant, which was fantastic! The next morning we were served the most fabulous breakfast. The breakfast room is gorgeous and the view of Florence’s garden was stunning. We had the pleasure of visiting with Florence and Donal, and can’t forget to mention Winnie, a very lucky dog. On our next trip to the area, we certainly will stay here again, and highly recommend it. What a GREAT experience this was.

We stayed at Coatesland for one night, but would have happily stayed a week longer. The hosts - Florence, Donal and of course Winnie the pooch, made us feel absolutely at home, and gave wonderful suggestions of sightseeing and dining options. We even had a choice of rooms when we arrived - all the rooms and bathrooms are decorated with such great care and has small special touches everywhere. The breakfast table has endless options and was most delicious, and the breakfast room is light and beautiful. We had an awesome chat with Florence and Donal at the breakfast table - time just flew. This was our favourite guest house on our trip through Ireland. Definitely make it part of your itinerary when touring around Limerick / Adare in Ireland.
