Only problem: We did not stay long enough! Gorgeous, elegant, warm, inviting and comfortable grand home in an idyllic setting with beautifully maintained grounds. But Kilraven Mansion’s charm is surpassed by gracious, attentive owner, Miriam and her daughters. Truly, the epitome of Irish hospitality, generosity and gracious living. Some of our favorite memories will always be the kids playing cards on the floor while the adults relaxed in front of the nightly lit fire. But the most amazing highlight was the spectacular dinner created by private chef, Shane, on our final night. Beautiful memories to last a lifetime. Our party of 10 with ages from 7 to 83 all left with full hearts and memories to last a lifetime. Looking forward to returning.

Chance brought me to Kilraven Mansion at Laurel Walk, and I’m glad it did. I booked the incredible historic home to be the center base for a work project, and Kilraven Mansion indeed served as our “center.” It was a place we could gather easily, and we found its joyful warmth restorative for our long days. Miriam, the owner, has everything you need to feel comfortable. If not, she’ll have information close at hand, including a personal chef who made us an unforgettable local gourmet meal. The home and grounds are incredibly gorgeous and capture country life lived the right way. In the days following my visit, I wished I had booked one more day to enjoy the home without work on my mind – to read a book curled up on the couch, to enjoy a glass of wine on a chaise lounge out on the lawn, and such. I hope chance brings me back to Kilraven Mansion, but this time, for fun and family time.
