Ireland Dream Trip
Excerpt
Earl’s Court House is a special blend of old and new, with its recently remodeled façade inviting guests to enjoy the treasures within. The spacious lobby reveals crystal chandeliers, gorgeous antiques and an open fire blazing in the hearth, welcoming visitors to all the comfort and luxury of a first-class stay.
Emer and Ray Moynihan are cordial and professional hosts who offer guests a warm welcome to their elegant guesthouse. Tucked away off the lobby, the stylish sitting room has several different seating areas throughout the large space. Deep green walls are the ideal background for gold-framed mirrors, sconces and fine art. Antique settees and chairs upholstered in red, pink or gold are arranged on polished wood floors with oriental carpets. A computer with wireless broadband Internet access is free for guests, who may also help themselves to complimentary tea or coffee and snacks throughout the day.
Spacious bedrooms are graciously appointed with Victorian and Edwardian antiques. Plush carpeting and coordinating spreads and drapes add bright accents to the mahogany furnishings. Some rooms have half-tester beds, while others have grand four-posters and all are very comfortable and provide a good night’s sleep. Modern accoutrements include modem points, luggage racks, a clock radio, phone, multi-channel TV, Tea and coffee tray (on request) and bottled water. Floral arrangements and pictures compliment the lovely décor. Some of the suites have fireplaces.
