Nuremore Hotel And Country Club

Tucked into the rolling Monaghan countryside in Carrickmacross, the 4-star Nuremore Hotel & Country Club sits about an hour from Dublin and Belfast. Close to the Carrickmacross Lace Gallery and local literary sites, it’s a family-friendly country escape with championship golf on the doorstep.

Seventy-two rooms with private bath and shower/tub combos feel comfortably appointed. Expect coffee and tea makers, complimentary toiletries, hair dryers, daily housekeeping and classic reception areas set among landscaped gardens. The property pairs elegant interiors with country-club energy and one of Ireland’s top championship-length golf courses.

Full-service spa with massages, body treatments and facials, an indoor pool, outdoor tennis courts and an arcade keep days varied. Practice your swing on the championship course, grab a drink at the bar, or enjoy babysitting services (surcharge). Free self-parking and an airport shuttle (surcharge) add practical ease. Wake up to quiet countryside views.

A custom-built conference centre and banqueting facilities (13,321 sq ft) make this a strong pick for meetings, weddings and events. Business center, dry cleaning/laundry, 24-hour front desk and complimentary wireless internet round out the practical side.

Dine at Restaurant at Nuremore for Modern European dishes, or keep it casual at the coffee shop/café. There’s a bar/lounge for evening drinks, limited room service and full breakfasts available for a fee—local flavors woven into the menu.
