1. WELCOME & BRIEFING
We meet in the lounge of The Castletroy Park Hotel Limerick where you will be introduced to your fellow guests. Over coffee, we introduce you to your afternoon experience in Ireland’s Ancient East. After coffee, we depart in convoy for the short drive to the manor house.

5. MORE REVEALING STORIES…
Moving at a relaxed pace, there is so much you’re going to see and hear.
6. NEW FOUND FRIEND
After a relaxing exploration, it’s time for conversations and sharing connections. Who knows where the conversation may lead? It’s always unique.
“Being shown around by the owner made it feel as if I was visiting a friend for tea and was being shown the new curtains….only in this case it was a 200 year old renovated staircase and a one of a kind carved ceiling, as well as fascinating anecdotes about living there. I finished the tour feeling like I’d been allowed a peek behind the scenes as opposed to being shown a presentation. Highly recommended.”
