Bed and Breakfast Description
|
|
An 18th century country house offering the visitor bed and breakfast (B&B) accommodation on the grandest scale. From the moment you arrive, you are aware that this is no ordinary B&B - Ashley Park House provides a setting of unmatched tranquility and peace. A worthy respite from the rigours of modern living.
Set in 76 acres of beech woodland and formal gardens, the historic country house sits on the shores of Lough Ourna, giving the visitor ample scope to pursue a wide range of activities including fishing, golf, sailing, horse riding and hiking. What better way to end the day than with a full four course dinner and wine in the red dining room, surrounded by gilt mirrors and gazing over the lake.
The house was fully renovated in 1993 with most rooms being redecorated in 2003. In particular, the drawing room and the red dining room were completely upgraded using fabrics and wall paper from Zophany and Colefax and Fowler. The verandah floorboards, hand rails and supports have all been replaced and repainted (just the roof to go!), which now enables guests to stoll out of the rooms on warm summer nights.
The house is also available for private parties and conferences. Prices for Bed and Breakfast start at €50 . Click here for links to the surrounding region.
The rooms elegant proportions include the same high ceilings found throughout Ashley Park and the original wooden floor boards are overlain by fine rugs.
From the open shuttered windows, guests can take in the rhodadendrum gardens and old tennis lawn with views of the island on the lake beyond
The house and gardens have a number of follies, not overly practical but lots of fun and suitable conversation pieces.
Apart from the Gardens, there are another 77 acres of beech woodland, fairy forts, tree-lined drives, lakeside paths, lodges and even a castle to explore.

Local Attractions

The gardens at Ashley Park are set in nearly eighty acres of mature beech woodland. The estate is maintained as a bird sanctuary for indigenous and migratory species of wildfowl. The island on the lake, Louch Ourna, with its ruined castle, provides a safe haven for breeding. The central piece to the gardens is a walled garden set with gazeboes, greenhouses and a gardener's cottage set into the wall of the garden.

B&B Location
|
Getting to Ashleypark is fairly simple, we are located three miles north of Nenagh on the Borrisokane Road (the N52). For specific directions:
From Dublin
Take the N7 to the Nenagh turnoff (about 100 kilometres from Dublin) and follow the signs to Nenagh. At the first roundabout in Nenagh, turn right onto the N52 which will be sign posted to Borrisokane. Go past Tesco at the roundabout, going straight on and follow the road out of the town. At the next roundabout continue straight again, heading for Borrisokane. Drive for about 4.5 kilometers; you will see a lake on the left hand site with a large white house on the far side. This is Ashley Park House (If you reach a town called Ardcroney, you have gone too far!) The entrance is on the left through a large stone arch, past the gate house. Take the drive past the lake to the house.
From Shannon Airport and Limerick
From the airport take the road to Limerick. Once you arrive in Limerick, take the N7 to Nenagh (it is also sign posted to Dublin). Take the turnoff for Nenagh and at the first roundabout take the first exit (signposted to Borrisokane and the N52). Follow through the next two roundabouts and at the final roundabout, turn left to Borrisokane (you cannot go straight on here). Follow the road away from the town for about three miles. You will see a lake on the left hand site with a large white house on the far side. This is Ashley Park House. The entrance is on the left through a large stone arch, past the gate house. Take the drive past the lake to the house.
From The North
Head down the N52 to Borrisokane. Follow the road south for about eight miles to Ardcroney. Drive through the village. After half a mile, you will see a woodland behind a stone wall. This is the start of Ashley Park. The entrance is on the right about 400 yards up the road through a large stone arch, past the gate house. Take the drive past the lake to the house.
