Moving between the K Club in Straffan and Adare Manor is the kind of journey that should be comfortable from start to finish - and this private chauffeur service makes sure it is. A certified professional driver meets you at your hotel reception and takes you door to door in a Mercedes-Benz, with no arrangements to figure out on your end.
The service includes a 15-minute complimentary stop en route, onboard WiFi, bottled water, and mobile device chargers. Whether you want to get a bit of work done, make a call, or just sit back and watch the Kildare and Limerick countryside go by, you’re sorted. Your chauffeur also allows 15 minutes’ complimentary waiting time at pick-up, so there’s no pressure if you’re running a few minutes behind.
Meeting point: Your chauffeur will meet you at the reception of your hotel.
The 15-minute stop is yours to use as you like. There’s no set agenda for the en route service stop - your driver will pull in wherever works. If you want a coffee, a stretch, or a quick look at something along the way, just say the word. It’s your transfer.
Straffan to Adare is about 160km and takes roughly two hours. The route typically runs south through County Kildare and into County Limerick, passing through some genuinely good Irish countryside. It’s a comfortable journey at this pace, and the car is well set up for it.
The MPV luggage capacity is generous. Six full-size checked suitcases fits a lot. If you’re travelling with golf bags from the K Club, it’s worth flagging that in advance when you book so the right vehicle configuration is confirmed.
Both properties are among Ireland’s most regarded. The K Club in Straffan is a two-time Ryder Cup venue and one of Kildare’s finest hotels. Adare Manor in County Limerick sits on the banks of the River Maigue and hosted the 2027 Ryder Cup. Travelling between them in a private Mercedes-Benz is the right way to move between two places at that level.
Tipping is at your discretion. Gratuities aren’t included in the price - if your driver does a good job (and they generally do), a cash tip at the end is appreciated.
