Scarteen is a fantastic pack to hunt with, you'll really enjoy yourself! Are you staying at Adare Manor? If so, the food is lovely there

You'll love it! The people are wonderful out there, always very friendly. Are you staying at The Dunraven (if I remember rightly) if you're not, you should try there for a meal sometime; I've heard very good reports of there!

Have a great time, we'll want to hear all about it! :grin:

When we went otter hunting over there a few years ago now, we stopped at a very nice b & b just outside Askeaton which is just along the road from Adare if that's any good? It's (or it was!)registered with Family Homes of Ireland, the details are
Mrs Marie Whelan. Cloonreask, Askeaton, Co. Limerick. Tel: 061 392556 (not sure of the code for Ireland!)

We liked it enough to keep the card for Marie in a safe place! I'm sure if she can't help she'll be able to recommend someone for you.

You will have great fun, who are you renting the horses from? what day are you hunting with the limerick lot, adare is a rather quiet place if you are looking for some night life, you may want to head out a bit. pm me if you needand other info
