Has anyone stayed in the Adare Villas on Adare Manor?

We'll be staying for a week in the Adare Villas on Adare Manor in November.
Does anyone have any experience staying in these? The website says that there is a washer and dryer (great!) ... but, I was wondering whether or not the kitchen has any appliances such as toaster, coffee maker, etc.
Any information will be greatly appreciated !
Thanks ... Amy

THANKS for sharing that video ... it helped a little.
On the Adare Manor estate, we are staying in what they call The Villas. We will have a 3 bedroom condominium. The Adare website has a virtual tour, but I could not see what the bedrooms looked like, or whether or not there are "small" appliances in the kitchen. Also, wondering about an iron and ironing board.
I'm hoping someone has stayed there before and can let me know what their experience was....
Again ... thanks.

I am so sorry... my mind must already be "on vacation" !!! :)

Adare Manor is in Adare, Ireland (at least I think that's the Irish town it is in) ... and the Adare Villas are condominiums on the estate.

Again, sorry for forgetting the most important part of my question ...

Amy when are you going in November?
I am going November 10 - 17 on a terrific deal I found via Travelzoo.com.
Would be funny if we were there at the same time.

I also think the kitchens are fully equiped for preparing meals etc.

We'll be there Nov. 3 - 8 .... so, we'll miss seeing you.
I think our "package" is through Secptre ... but, I'm not sure. The other couple who is travelling with us made the arrangements ... that were too good to pass up.
I've been to Ireland in the summer months before, but not in November ... so this should be a whole new experience !

Yes Steve - I am going with 4 friends and we will be traveling on our own. I agree with you about group tours - I've been on some that were like a "forced march".... up at 6:00AM, bags out by 6:30, breakfast 6:30 - 7:00...........

Not much fun.
But now I am also a BIG BIG fan of Rick Steves' Tours. A bit of guidance and a lot of free time to do what I want.

Hi - I another question on Adare Villas. I plan on taking a small laptop computer and want to know if there is WIFI or an internet connection in the villas or nearby.
We want to be able to download some of our photos and use the internet to plan our daily travels.
I can take an ethernet cable if there is a place to plug it in - in the villa or the office? or ???
Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Frances

Steve: Sceptre Tours doesn't do big bus tours. They are basically travel packages - airfare, rental car, and vouchers for B&Bs. Some packages have a prebooked hotel night the first night, some don't. You make your own itinerary and your own reservations for where you want to stay. Sceptre is a wonderful company and I would absolutely recommend them. (Incidentally, bus tours other than Rick's may not be something recommended by Steve, but many people here do recommend them in certain circumstances.)
