A "wee Hello" from Adams & Butler in Scotland...


This month we are delighted to introduce our new website at www.adamsandbutler.com which will incorporate more and more of our Scottish and English product. Ireland and Scotland have so much in common - castles, lakes, golf, whiskey, wild rugged countryside and seascapes - not forgetting good food!    


So... the Adams & Butler team closed the office, diverted the phones and spent a 4 day-long weekend exploring all that Scotland has to offer.  We inspected almost 40 properites, all the favourites such as Gleneagles, Inverlochy Castle and its sister property Rocpool Reserve,  as well as the new hip Blytheswood Square and the magical Aldourie Castle.  We discovered some affordable hidden gems along the way - Duisdale & Toravaig on the Isle of Skye, and Barcaldine in Oban. 

Scotland

Last week Siobhan had the pleasure of being invited by the owners of Ballyfin, a stunning 18th Century Irish Country Estate only 90 mins from Dublin for a pre-opening stay.  The food was magnificient, the beds sumptuous and the setting elegantly sublime.  The house has long been admired as the most lavish Regency mansion in Ireland, and after eight years of restoration Ballyfin re-opens in May 2011.  With only 15 bedrooms it is perfect for both overnight stays and exclusive rentals.

Introducing Ballyfin...  

..... The Epitome of Irish Hospitality & Excellence

  

" Yesterday I saw a most delightful place indeed, much beyond any place I have seen in Ireland - Ballyfin" - Lady Kildare, 1759  

Ballyfin  Ballyfin   


For centuries the enchanting beauties of Ballyfin have been admired by visitors like Lady Kildare from Carton House in the adjoining county. Set at the foot of the Slieve Bloom Mountains in the centre of Ireland - but still only an hour and a half from Dublin airport - it is a place of history and romance, of tranquillity and great natural beauty. Stone walls enclose 600 acres of parkland, a lake and ancient woods, delightful garden buildings, follies and grottoes abound.

  

The manager Aileesh Carew has a wealth of international experience managing small boutique properties and Jim Reynolds, her CEO is a well known archeologist, garden designer and confidant of HRH Prince Charles.

 

Ballyfin is available on both an overnight and on an exclusive use basis. If you want any further information, or wish to book please contact us at +353-1-288-9355 or at vip@irishluxury.com.
