Glenstal Abbey Guesthouse, Murroe, Co. Limerick; tel.
061-386103, ext. 188; e-mail: guestmaster@glenstal.org.
Not everyone seeks the peace and solitude of staying on the grounds of
a religious site but here is an ideal place for those who do. Home of
the Benedictine monks who are known for their Gregorian chant music (they
have recorded several popular CDs) and also operate a boys school here,
Glenstal offers a modern guesthouse with 12 guestrooms and all the modern
comforts, designed for one or two occupants. Meals are also provided each
day, as is spiritual guidance, if needed. Guests can roam the extensive
secluded grounds or take part of regularly scheduled liturgies. The monks
run the guesthouse on a donation basis to cover costs of maintenance and
meals, but they say: "we do not want you to give more than you can
afford." The abbey is 12 miles southeast of Limerick City. €
