Frommer's Review
This is one of those rare places that is refined and yet charmingly rural, without a hint of pretense. The house is a palatial affair built in 1720 amid sprawling farmland, and with its own winery. All this grandeur is saved from pomposity by the laid-back O'Callaghan family, who keep things down-to-earth. Guest rooms are sumptuous without going overboard, furnished in old-world style, with family heirlooms and period pieces, and most have bucolic views of the gardens, grazing pastures, or vineyards. The beacon of Longueville is the Presidents' Room, an award-winning restaurant where William O'Callaghan continues to prove that he is a gifted chef. He sources produce and vegetables from the hotel's farm and gardens and from local markets, and transforms them into memorable dishes. In the summer, meals are also served in a gorgeous, sky-lit Victorian conservatory

Verdant valleys, salmon-stocked rivers, and rolling hills surround this eighteenth-century Georgian country house near Blarney Castle. Formerly a B&B specializing in fishing trips, it has rooms in gold, raspberry, and green that are personalized with family photos. Dishes like oyster mushroom risotto are served at both restaurants. Hunting and fishing are available year-round. "There's an amazing sense of peace here."
