ACCOMMODATION
REVIEW
Standing in Dublin's Victorian Quarter, the Butler Town House is
as close as one can get to an oasis of country tranquility near
the heart of cosmopolitan Dublin. Opening as a guesthouse as recently
as March 1997, the property has been fully restored to reflect its
former glory, while the pervading atmosphere is that of an old country
house. However old style the ambience though, the Butler Town House
is equipped with every modern amenity to ensure the utmost comfort
of its guests.
The bedrooms are beautifully furnished and
are a real feature of the guesthouse, while the four-poster beds
perfectly reflect the property's Victorian past. Handmade pillows,
100% Irish woolen blankets, air conditioning and satellite television
make each guestroom a pleasure to stay in. The common areas are
also beautifully appointed with deep sofas and grandfather chairs
ensuring that the drawing room provides a welcome respite from
your city adventures. Guests may sample a selection of fine Irish
whiskeys from the small cocktail bar in the library, while afternoon
tea and morning coffee are served on the terrace during summer
months.
The dining facilities have been purposely restricted
at the Butler Town House in recognition that guests mostly like
to dine out and sample some of the fine local restaurants. Breakfast
however is a specialty. Served is the wonderfully airy Conservatory,
breakfast includes an array of dishes including smoked salmon,
eggs benedict, French toast, freshly baked breads and of course
the full Irish breakfast.
