This four-star luxury resort in Laois is perfect for a countryside retreat

There’s something exceptionally magical about a hotel stay that is so entirely immersive. You know the ones, those special destination stays where you pull up, check in, and scarcely leave the grounds of the resort for the duration of your stay. A true retreat from the chaos of everyday life, The Heritage Hotel in Laois invites you to leave city living behind and dive into the surrounds of nature completely.

First opening its doors in 2005, The Heritage has close to two decades of experience in providing sophisticated elegance with impeccable hospitality. On the grounds, you’ll find a world-class hotel, an award-winning spa, a multitude of dining options, and a championship golf course.

Situated in the heart of Killenard, the course has been exquisitely designed by the ever-famous golf legend Seve Ballesteros and measures 7,319 yards from the championship tees and has played host to some of the world’s top golfers, including many major winners. Five prominent lakes and a stream meander through the course, bringing water into play on 10 holes.

When it comes to a memorable dining experience, The Heritage has them in abundance. With three options—Blake’s, Seven and The Galleria—serving up expertly crafted, flavourful dishes made with the finest local ingredients, you can even opt to indulge in the hotel’s fabulous Afternoon Tea complete with a perfect mix of delicious sweet and savoury delights.

Elsewhere, The Heritage Spa gives guests five-star luxury ESPA treatments, and boasts one of Ireland’s largest thermal suites with a newly opened Himalayan Salt Cave and Rustic Sauna Cabin, as well as the unique Moroccan treatment offering of Mud Rasul and Hammam treatments.

Every single bedroom has been renovated and upgraded in the past few years to ensure each and every guest has the utmost in comfort and luxury during their stays. They’ve recently expanded their room options to include group suites, which are two-bedroom hotel suites that sleep up to six people, making it the perfect destination for those larger group getaways.

For a luxurious self-catering option, the hotel also offers five two-bedroom apartments onsite, all the privacy of your own home away from home with all the luxuries of a hotel stay.
