Hotel review: The Heritage offers great value for a luxury getaway

Tom Breathnach says The Heritage in County Laois may have dropped a star from its rating but it still offers terrific value for a spa or golfing break

The Heritage in Co Laois is one of the most luxurious four-star getaways in the country.

Still fresh from a pre-lockdown €3 million makeover, The Heritage in Killenard has tweaked its name, dropped a star rating and rebranded to position itself as one of the most luxurious four-star getaways in the country.

Set amid a poetic swathe of County Laois countryside, the hotel, with its 18-hole parklands course and expansive ESPA spa aims to woo both the wellness and golfing set while its newly revamped ballroom is eyeing a greater slice of the wedding market cake.
