Located at the edge of Portlaoise and a 45-minute drive from Dublin, the four star Killeshin is a contemporary establishment that sets out to reinstate the yesteryear's standards of personalised and attentive service. Boasting 88 rooms, a health club and choice of dining options, the hotel aims to cater to holiday-makers and spontaneous visitors who may find themselves in the mood to enjoy a hearty meal just off the M7. One of the highlights on offer is afternoon tea, seducing residents and travelling duos alike with a range of homemade treats and aromatic teas.
