Lucinda O'Sullivan's Ireland

About The Hotel

If you’re looking for a great place to stay and eat, with plenty of shopping and attractions nearby, look no further than Cunningham’s Kildare. Set in ‘The Round House’ building, which has been a commercial site since the beginning of the 19th century, Cunningham’s has been going strong for more than a century, which makes a strong impression in itself.

They say their rooms are inspired by their love of luxury and travel, and this is beautifully borne out in the attention to detail given to each of their ten guestrooms, from plush bedding and tasteful décor to mod cons like widescreen smart TVs and WiFi.

Once you’ve settled in, head down to their fab bar which has plenty of space while also offering a wide variety of little nooks to disappear off into. Cunningham’s is a traditional Irish pub and, several nights a week, hosts some great live trad music, to go with the superb food and buzzy inviting atmosphere. The large open fire is a beacon of warmth in colder months while the large selection of whiskeys, wines and beers draws eager customers throughout the year. Sports fans are covered with live events being shown on five screens spread throughout the bar. If you’d prefer a more ‘natural’ setting, while hubby cheers for Leinster, then make your way out to the ‘Pavilion’, for a breath of fresh air regardless of the weather.

A delightful melding of classic European and East Asian cuisine, the food at Cunningham’s is more than a cut above what one thinks of as bar food, even in this day and age. Their native Thai Chefs produce wonderful authentic dishes from their home country as well as applying their own techniques to some classic European dishes. So, if your travelling companion is partial to a meaty 8oz grass fed fillet with all the trimmings and a side of fries, but you’d prefer a fiery Panaeng curry or oodles of oolong, you’re in luck. There’s plenty to choose from both sides of the fence, whether it’s buffalo wings, beer battered cod and chicken Caesar salads, or Pad Thai, Nasi Goreng and Bangkok beef, the menu at Cunningham’s is stacked with treats fit for all tastes.

When you aren’t wining, dining or reclining, be sure to shop your socks off at the Kildare Village Outlet, check out the Irish National Stud & Gardens, and make a visit to the world famous Curragh Racecourse.

So, for great craic, great food, great music, and a great night’s sleep, don’t miss out on a stay at Cunningham’s Kildare.
