Lismacue House

In splendid Tipperary, a charming region in Ireland, discover Lismacue House, which brims with Old World elegance and country comforts. Your family will love having full run of this bucolic Georgian estate, erected in 1812 to replace a more modest 17th-century home. With 200 verdant surrounding acres, the entire family will rejoice at the many recreational options available. Nearby are several challenging golf courses, and a helicopter can easily and stylishly transport you to a faraway fairway if you so desire. Or, try reeling in a big fish from the Ara River - which is stocked with plenty of trout - or take a horseback ride on trails less traveled. Also, simple pleasures such as croquet can be enjoyed right on the grounds of Lismacue House.

Lismacue House has everything to meet modern family needs, from spacious bedrooms to accommodate every member of the family to personal chef services. You can also enjoy the serenity of complete privacy, which is often hard to find at a traditional resort. Families can dine together at a 12-person table, and then play a board game or charades in the cozy library. Make sure to explore the rich region, which is steeped in history and tradition. Abandoned castles, now just shells of their former grandeur, inspire the imagination and give a feel for how privileged occupants lived a past era. You can also tour preserved castles and cloistered abbeys that are centuries old. Take in the region of County Tipperary which is popular among sporting enthusiasts, and is the birthplace of the Gaelic Games. There is certainly much for the whole family to enjoy at Lismacue House.
