The Mustard Seed at Echo Lodge is a sumptuous country
house hotel with a highly acclaimed restaurant; a great retreat for lovers
of good food and fine wine.
Set amid the rolling countryside of County Limerick, in
the rural village of Ballingarry, Echo Lodge is a classic 19th Century
parochial house built in 1884. This genteel house, set within seven acres
of leafy gardens was home to a community of nuns, ‘The Mercy Order’
for over a hundred years, and it still retains an aura of tranquillity.
Relaxed elegance and comfort are key features at Echo Lodge and this charming
country house hotel is filled with attractive antique furnishings and
intriguing objects d’art tucked away in neat little nooks and crannies.
The famed Mustard Seed restaurant has a highly regarded
reputation stretching over a decade and drawing connoisseurs from far
and wide. The restaurant itself is set out in a typically homely relaxing
country way, for an intimate candlelight and silverware affair. The seasonally
changing menu draws from the freshest local produce, with herbs and vegetables
from Echo Lodge’s own organic garden, for delightfully creative
dishes; such as Warm oysters with a red kidney salsa, ginger coriander
and sesame oil, venison sausage and spiced puy lentil. To be followed
by breast of barbarie duck on a bed of buttered green, lime and vanilla
mash and chocolate oil or baked Irish salmon with sun dried tomato tapenade
and roast aubergine puree. All of which is complimented by an extensive
wine list with bins from around the globe.
And then of course there are the bedrooms; each has been
individually decorated affording luxury and taste. You could feel perfectly
cosseted in these sumptuous bedrooms, spaciously appointed and set with
old world furnishings and modern facilities and fittings. The hotel also
has some exquisite two-bedroom suites with separate lounge, ideal for
small groups travelling together.
The Mustard Seed at Echo Lodge has won wide acclaim, regarded
as one of the best places to stay and dine in Ireland. Close to golf courses
at Ballybunion and Adare and an hour’s drive from Shannon Airport,
the hotel is well placed for exploring the South West and Shannon area
of Ireland.
