From turmoil-free turkey dinners to chocolate trees, luxury escapes like Adare Manor and Carton House are redefining what festive family celebrations are about…
Picture the scene: you’re in the kitchen on Christmas Day. Every inch of counter space is covered in dirty pots and pans, and you’ve just remembered the bacon-wrapped sausages that are now burnt to a cinder in the oven. In the other room, you can hear the sound of squabbling, no doubt taking place among piles of screwed up wrapping paper.
Now picture the polar opposite. And that’s Christmas at Adare Manor.
