Quigley Residence: Limerick's Most Luxurious Hidden Gem?
Quigley Residence: Limerick's Most Luxurious… Well, Let's See About That, Shall We? (A Brutally Honest Review)
Alright, alright, let's get down to brass tacks. You want to know about Quigley Residence: Limerick's Most Luxurious Hidden Gem? Buckle up, buttercup, because I just spent a long weekend there, and I’m about to spill the beans – the good, the bad, and the slightly questionable. Forget the polished press releases; this is a real human experience.
First Impressions & Accessibility (or, The Great Elevator Adventure)
Honestly? Finding the place was a bit of a mission. "Hidden Gem" is an understatement. It's more like "Secret, Possibly Hermetically Sealed Chamber of Awesome." Once I actually found it, the outside was stunning. But getting inside… well, that was the first test of my patience.
Now, I'm not disabled, but I do appreciate good accessibility. And this is where things get interesting. The website claims facilities for disabled guests. Okay. The elevator? It definitely exists! Praise be. However, it's a tad…quirky. Let's just say it has its own personality. It occasionally decides to take a detour (much to the amusement of the staff, who seemed to have grown accustomed to this). Plus, the hallways themselves were a tad twisty, making wheelchair navigation (I would imagine) a potential Olympic sport. Accessibility: 3/5. Great effort, but room for improvement.
Internet, Glorious Internet! (Plus, a tangent about my digital detox attempt)
Okay, so the internet. Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! They shouted it, and thank goodness, because my phone practically glued itself to my hand after trying to navigate the one-way streets of Limerick. And let me tell you, after getting lost in that maze, I’m grateful for a working internet. Internet [LAN] was also available, but honestly, I don’t think I even looked at it. Internet services were available, which I appreciated.
They also had Wi-Fi in public areas, and it worked! You know, to have a little look at the news and relax, while sipping tea at the Coffee shop. I was kind of aiming to have a digital detox on this holiday, but as I said, finding the place was a pain, so who was I to resist my phone?
So, yeah, internet: 5/5. For a hermit, that's a win!
The Room: My Fortress of Solitude (And Some Slightly Eccentric Decor)
My room (oh, sweet, sweet Room 303!) was… well, let's just say it leaned heavily towards "opulent." Air conditioning, blackout curtains, and an extra long bed which I absolutely adored. Bathrobes! Heaven! Complimentary tea, a coffee/tea maker, and a refrigerator to keep the necessary Guinness cold. The mini bar? Tempting, but I resisted.
The decor was, shall we say, unique. Think "Victorian meets slightly deranged art collector." There were portraits of people I didn't know staring down at me, and a rug that looked suspiciously like a giant, fluffy monster. It was, you know, interesting. The window that opens was a godsend, you know, for letting in the crisp Limerick air. Rooms sanitized between stays (as they claim) and room sanitization opt-out available so that's a win win!
Amenities & Indulgences: From Spa Bliss to… Well, My Attempt at Fitness.
Okay, this is where Quigley really shines. The Spa/sauna, and Pool with view – stunning. The Sauna was a lifesaver after battling the Limerick wind. The Steamroom? Oh, the steamroom. I may or may not have spent an embarrassing amount of time in there, contemplating the meaning of life, sweating out all the stress.
I attempted the Fitness center. Keyword: attempted. Let's just say my "fitness" regime lasted approximately 20 minutes before I decided a pint was a more productive use of my time. But it looked good, I'll give it that. Massage was available, and I heard amazing things, but my wallet protested so unfortunately, I did not take part.
Things to do, ways to relax, Body scrub, Body wrap, Foot bath, Gym/fitness I did not get involved in most of these, but the Pool with view and Sauna are amazing and I would return purely on those merits.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Fueling the Adventure (And My Waistline)
Right, so the food. This is another area where Quigley had a lot to contend with. They had Restaurants galore! Plus a Bar, a Coffee/tea in restaurant, and even a Poolside bar.
Okay, I went for Breakfast [buffet] in the mornings. It was… solid. Not mind-blowing, but good. I did find myself missing the Asian breakfast and cuisine which they boasted, but didn't have. The Western breakfast and cuisine were good, and the coffee was strong which is always a sign of a good place. The Bottle of water was a nice touch in this.
The A la carte in restaurant, Alternative meal arrangement, Buffet in restaurant, Desserts in restaurant, Happy hour, International cuisine in restaurant, Salad in restaurant, and Soup in restaurant they had. However, I didn't try them all.
They also had Breakfast takeaway service and Individually-wrapped food options and I felt safe through my visit.
Cleanliness and Safety: A Very Important Point (Especially These Days)
Look, I'm a bit of a germophobe, so this was crucial. I'm happy to report that Quigley takes this seriously. Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas and even Professional-grade sanitizing services were used. Also, they have Hand sanitizer, Physical distancing of at least 1 meter, Room sanitization opt-out available, Staff trained in safety protocol. I felt very safe. Hygiene certification, Safe dining setup, Sanitized kitchen and tableware items made this visit a lot more relaxing.
Services and Conveniences: The Little Things That Make a Big Difference
Daily housekeeping, Laundry service, Luggage storage, Safe, Concierge, Elevator - these all contributed. There was even a Convenience store. The Concierge was brilliant. She managed to sort out my taxi, recommend some pubs, and generally make me feel like a VIP, even though I'm clearly not.
For the Kids: (Because You Know, Families…)
I didn't travel with kids, but they had Babysitting service and Family/child friendly amenities.
Getting Around: The Limerick Labyrinth
They offer Airport transfer a Taxi service, and Valet parking.
Overall Verdict: Worth the Trip? (Maybe…)
Look, Quigley Residence isn’t perfect. The accessibility is a work in progress, and the decor might not be everyone's cup of tea. But the spa is divine, the location is excellent (once you find it), the service is fantastic, and the overall experience is…memorable.
My Score: 4/5, with a strong recommendation for those seeking a luxurious, slightly quirky, and wonderfully relaxing escape.

Okay, buckle up buttercup, because this ain't your beige, cookie-cutter itinerary. We're diving headfirst into the vortex of the Quigley Residence in Limerick, Ireland. Expect less precision planning and more… well, let's call it "organized chaos."
The Quigley Residence: A Limerick Luau of Life (and Laundry)
Day 1: Arrival & The Great Biscuit Debacle
- 10:00 AM: Touchdown at Shannon Airport. Ugh, airports. Smells of jet fuel and… is that despair? Taxi to the Quigley Residence. (Praying it's not a fixer-upper, based on the cryptic directions I got from Mrs. Quigley - "Keep going until the leprechauns start waving, then turn left." Charming, but helpful?).
- 10:45 AM: Arrival. Deep breath. It's a charming, slightly wonky-looking cottage. The front door is painted a shade of green that can only be described as "Irish moss with a hangover."
- 10:55 AM: Mrs. Quigley, bless her soul, greets me. Turns out she’s a whirlwind of knitting needles, opinions, and a faint aroma of stale tea. After 10 minutes she is already calling me "Love".
- 11:15 AM: Tour of the house. Observe that the kitchen is the size of a postage stamp and the bathroom is from a different century. Mrs. Quigley offers tea and biscuits. She assures me they are "freshly baked."
- 11:20 AM: The Biscuit Debacle. Turns out "freshly baked" means "baked last Tuesday and stored in a tin that hasn't been opened since the Troubles." I attempted a bite. My teeth may have lost a battle with a particularly stubborn rock. Note to self: buy emergency biscuits.
- 12:00 PM: Settling in, unpacking. Found a rogue knitting needle under the bed. This is going to be interesting.
- 1:00 PM: Lunch. (Made a sandwich with the emergency biscuits. Desperate times, desperate measures).
- 2:00 PM: Attempt to locate Wi-Fi password. Mrs. Quigley is "technology averse." After a ten-minute hunt and several near-death experiences with dust bunnies, I find it scrawled on a napkin under a tea cozy. "Password: LeprechaunLuck123." Sigh.
- 3:00 PM: Walk into the town. Soak in the atmosphere. Every pub looks inviting, and everyone has a story.
- 5:00 PM: A Pint at "The Old Bar" - It's a local bar, old, small and the beer is amazing. The bartender has a twinkle in his eye, serves the perfect pint - and told me more stories about the town in one hour than the entire internet.
- 7:00 PM: Dinner in The Quigley's, Mrs Quigley makes a Beef stew. Wow, its fantastic, with a side of banter that will stay with me for life.
- 9:00 PM: Bedtime! Exhausted but in love.
Day 2: Castles, Cliffs & Catastrophe (Probably)
- 9:00 AM: Wake-up call. Mrs. Quigley's rooster. Also, the sound of rain. Classic Ireland.
- 9:30 AM: Breakfast. Mrs. Quigley's Full Irish. Black pudding is… an experience.
- 10:30 AM: Road trip to Bunratty Castle & Folk Park. Imagine stepping back in time. Then, promptly realise the castle is filled with screaming children and tour groups. Oh, joy.
- 12:30 PM: Lunch near the castle. Quick grab of some tasty sandwiches.
- 1:30 PM: Scenic drive through the Burren. Rocks, more rocks, and… WOW. The views are breath taking.
- 3:00 PM: Cliffs of Moher. Stand on the edge of the earth. Marvel at the vastness of the Atlantic and the sheer stupidity of anyone who comes too close to the edge. Absolutely stunning.
- 4:00 PM: The Accidental Sheep Encounter. Okay, I wandered off the path. And found myself facing a flock of sheep. They were staring directly at me. I froze. They… stared back. It was a stare-down for the ages. Eventually, I retreated slowly. The sheep… snickered.
- 6:00 PM: A quiet pint in a pub. Thinking about the sheep.
- 7:00 PM: Dinner. Another home cooked delight, a chat with the Mrs. Quigley's.
- 9:00 PM: Sleep. Tomorrow, more adventures.
Day 3: Limerick's Secrets & A Farewell (Maybe Less Mess)
- 9:00 AM: Mrs. Quigley is up to her old tricks!
- 9:30 AM: Visit King John's Castle, but decided that the exterior is the best view.
- 10:00 AM: Walk along the River Shannon.
- 12:00 PM: Some shops in the town.
- 1:00 PM: Lunch.
- 2:00 PM: Quick chat with the Quigley's, then a final farewell.
- 3:00 PM: Airport.
- 6:00 PM: Home. Still thinking of the Quigley's. Wow.
A Few Quigleyisms to Remember:
- Mrs. Quigley's Philosophy: "Life's too short to drink bad tea, Love."
- Best Advice: Always carry an umbrella. And a pair of sturdy walking shoes. And a healthy attitude towards sheep.
- Most Likely to Happen: Getting lost. Drinking too much Guinness. Falling head-over-heels in love with Ireland.
This is just a guideline, mind you. Real life (and the Quigleys) are inherently unpredictable. Embrace the chaos, the unexpected, and the sheer, wonderful messiness of it all. And for the love of all things holy, pack some good biscuits!

Quigley Residence: Limerick's "Luxury"? Let's Get Real. FAQs
So, what *is* the Quigley Residence, exactly? Is it actually "hidden"?
Alright, alright. Let's strip away the marketing fluff, shall we? The Quigley Residence is, allegedly, a luxury stay in Limerick. It’s been described as "hidden"… which is funny because, depending on how you define "hidden," it's either not *that* hidden or terrifyingly hard to find. Seriously. I spent ages getting lost the first time. Ended up asking some sheep for directions. Okay, maybe not sheep, but it was something equally woolly-minded. The entrance is like… a fancy gate that looked like it belonged to a fairytale.
Luxury? Really? What makes it "luxurious"? (And is it worth the price tag?)
Ah, the million-dollar question. "Luxury" is a subjective beast. Look, the rooms are undeniably *nice*. Think plush bedding, maybe a chandelier or two – the usual suspects. The view from my room? Stunning. Absolutely breathtaking. Reminded me of that scene in Titanic, except without the tragic iceberg. But… and here's where the cracks start to show… the breakfast. Oh sweet mother of… it was *fine*. But luxurious? I'd have preferred a proper fry-up. And that price tag? My bank account is still weeping. It's luxurious *in places*, but the value… well, that's a different story. Let's just say I've splurged on worse… and on *better*.
Speaking of those rooms, what are they *actually* like? Details!
Okay, okay, fine. The rooms. I'll give you the dirt. Mine was big, undeniably. Huge. Like, I could've hosted a small dance party in there (if I knew how to dance, which I don’t). The bathroom was marble, I think? Or maybe it was just really good imitation marble. Either way, shiny. The bed? Cloud-like. So cloud-like I nearly missed my flight because I just couldn’t leave. But, and this is a big but, the Wi-Fi was… patchy. Like, it'd randomly decide to cut out at crucial moments. Trying to stream the latest episode of something? Prepare for buffering hell. And the TV… Honestly, I think it was older than my grandmother.
What about the service? The staff? Are they, you know, *helpful*?
Okay, the staff. Mostly lovely. Though, like anywhere, you've got your variations. The guy who checked me in? Utterly charming. Had a real twinkle in his eye. The breakfast staff? A mixed bag. Some were super friendly, some seemed to have seen one too many tourists before they'd had their coffee. I asked for extra brown sauce one morning, and I swear, the look I got… it was like I'd requested a human sacrifice. But overall, yes, helpful. Though, again, maybe not *quite* the level of pampering I'd expect for the price. I’d tripped on a loose floorboard *in my room*, and it took them a full day to fix it. Which is a long time when you’re living in terror of breaking a leg.
Did you eat in the hotel? Was the food good? This is important.
The food… Oh, the food. Okay. So, I ate in the hotel restaurant. Once. I'm a believer in trying the local cuisine, and I'm always up for a culinary adventure. The main courses were… pretentious. I swear I had a dish that came with a tiny little sprig of something I didn't recognize. I'm pretty sure it was edible, but I was afraid to ask. The presentation was gorgeous, mind you. Like art on a plate. But the portion size? Not enough to fill a sparrow. I'd have had a far better time grabbing chips from the chipper. However, the dessert. Oh, the dessert. A chocolate something-or-other that was pure, unadulterated bliss. So, basically, hit or miss. Depends on how hungry you are, or how much you like miniature portions.
Any memorable moments, good or bad? Spill the tea!
Right, okay. This is where it gets messy, and I love it. And it's *all* my fault. One night, I get back to my room. Nice, yeah? I decide to have a bath. I'm lounging in the tub, sipping a nice glass of wine (from the minibar, which, by the way, was also VERY expensive). Suddenly, the fire alarm goes off. Not a gentle beep. A full-blown, ear-splitting, "GET OUT NOW" alarm. I leap out of the bath, wrapped in a towel, assuming the hotel's burning down. I run out into the hallway. Nothing. Everyone's looking confused. Turns out… it was a false alarm. Apparently. Some overly sensitive smoke detector in someone's room. The sheer *panic* and the resulting shame… it’s carved into my memory. I'll never forget wandering the halls dripping wet, surrounded by bewildered guests. It was embarrassing, comical, and utterly Quigley-esque. Still traumatized.
Okay, bottom line. Would you recommend it?
Ugh. The million-dollar question, part two. Look, it depends. If money is absolutely no object, and you're desperate for a luxurious *vibe*, then sure, go for it. The view, the comfortable bed, the potential for a good dessert… but, honestly? For the same price, you could probably get something even fancier. Or, and this is a thought, you could get a *really* nice B&B and spend the rest of the money on a proper Irish pub crawl. And truthfully? I'd choose the pub crawl. Every. Single. Time. It’s not *bad*, just… a bit overhyped. And maybe a bit too prone to fire alarms. Honestly, I left with a feeling of "Meh." Maybe I'm just easily pleased. Or maybe I’m just cheap. Probably both.
