FOR over 45 years, the Dunraven Arms has been welcoming hunting guests from all over the world keen to experience the adventures and challenges of hunting over the famous banks, ditches and stone walls here in Ireland.

We have been very fortunate to welcome some of the world’s top riders to the hotel, Olympians Bruce Davidson, Jimmy Waffert, Mark Todd, Ian Stark, Nick Skelton to name a few. Jockeys over the years included Mick Kinane, Richard Dunwoody, John Francome and Charlie Swan. We have also welcomed the Dutch European Pony Show Jumping Team, with 15 friends. Did you know that hunting holidays are fast becoming the new winter sport activity for the skiing set too?

Hunting attire

We offer an exclusive package to include bed and breakfast and dinner each night, with a special valet service for hunting attire ready for the next morning.

We will book the hunting and help with the selection of your horse for each day too.

Guests can unwind in our swimming pool and sauna after a long day, before meeting for pre-dinner drinks in our bar, where ditches grow ever wider as the night progresses! Tales at the bar are followed by dinner in our Maigue Restaurant with the signature prime roast rib of Irish beef carved at the table.

Here in Adare, we are blessed to have some of the best packs in Ireland within easy reach:

  • Co Limerick Foxhounds
  • Limerick Harriers
  • Scarteen Black & Tans
  • Stonehall Harriers
  • Galway Blazers
  • Duhallow Foxhounds
  • Tipperary Foxhounds

    • Our guests can simply decide on a date, let us know who they wish to hunt with and we will look after the rest. Get in touch today and get your season off to the best start.
