  • Very tasteful boutique hotel.
  • Exceptionally good food.
  • Thoughtful design and great comfort.

For a number of years Baileys of Cashel was our favourite “pit-stop” when driving throughout Ireland, as the food there was exceptional. Situated in the centre of the country, if we were not actually passing through we often made a detour to visit Cashel, as we loved Baileys so much. The town used to be a bit of a nightmare to get through because of traffic, but now with the by-pass road it is a much easier place to visit. Also with the refurbishment of Baileys it is now doubly worth a detour no matter where in Ireland you find yourself!
We were delighted on our last visit, as new luxurious rooms had been added, an excellent leisure centre was adjoining the hotel, and private underground parking was available. The comfort and luxury was second to none, and the food was as superb as ever!

We had a comfortable spacious room, with a luxurious king size bed and all the extras that we could have wanted. Robes, bottled water, good toiletries and plenty of towels etc, everything was provided without us having to ask. There was a desk with broadband connection, and no extra is charged for that. This was a room that suited both the business and leisure visitor.

We enjoyed a stroll around the historic town, enjoying the sights without the previous bustle of traffic that used to make crossing the road an ordeal! While taking in the fresh air and lovely scenery, we were also working up an appetite for dinner. We knew it was going to be good and we were not disappointed.
The new restaurant called Number 42 is beautifully appointed showing all the taste that manager Phil Delaney has shown over the years at Baileys. There are fresh flowers on every table, and even larger vases of flowers throughout the hotel. There is an open window from the kitchen to the dining room and the sights and smells of the food being prepared is a sure way to entertain the guests. I love watching the activity in the kitchen from the comfort of the dining room!

After a peaceful night’s slumber – our room was overlooking a beautiful garden and we woke up to birdsong – we decided on a swim before breakfast and so headed off to the leisure centre This is situated just between the main hotel and the private underground parking. It was quiet, peaceful and spotlessly clean. We enjoyed all the facilities, working up an appetite for breakfast.
This was served in Number 42 also, and the freshly squeezed juices and warm pastries would put larger hotel to shame. A good breakfast can really make a stay at any hotel, and a sloppy one leaves a very bad impression. No such disappointment at Baileys. We enjoyed a breakfast that set us up for the day and left soon afterwards to explore the beautiful countryside. Baileys is a jewel in the centre of Ireland.
What’s to do in the Area?

Cashel has an ancient history. The rock of Cashel, with its well preserved ecclesiastical remains, is one of Ireland’s most spectacular landmarks.

The Cathedral, ancient round tower and early Romanesque Cormac’s Chapel, perched on a dramatic outcrop of rock, were silent witnesses to many of the major events of Irish History.

St Patrick converted the local Kind Aenghus, here in the 5th century and Brian Boru was crowned Kind of Ireland at this spot in the early 11th century.
The site is one of the most visited in Ireland and now provides an interpretative centre (multi lingual), a museum, guided tours and superb views over the extensive plains of Tipperary.

Local activities include:
Golf: Cashel Golf Range, 18 hole Driving Range.
Equestrian: Cahir Equestrian Centre.
Angling: the salmon and trout seasons on the River Suir opens on 17th March and close on 30th September.

Holycross Abbey is situated six kms from Cashel. This monastery dates back to the early 12th Century.

Tipperary county Museum – museum@southtippcoco.ie
Bolton Library contains a unique collection of antiquarian books and is the finest collection outside of Dublin.
Details of these and other activities from Baileys or from the Tourist Information Centre on Main Street, Cashel.
