That much is apparent in both the glorious splendour of the main Straffan House Hotel and the attention to detail that has gone into the decor, restoration and design of this beautiful building. The K Club is a place of real historical significance and an authentic taste of Irish heritage. The location itself could not be better for exploring the surrounding Kildare landscape. From the imposing and dramatic Wicklow Mountains National Park with peaks blanketed in heath and open vistas interrupted only by forestry plantations, to the beautiful valleys and lowlands that surround The K Club and provide the perfect environment for country sports and leisurely reflection. Fast-flowing streams descend into the deep lakes of the wooded valleys and continue their course into the surrounding countryside, carving out a landscape that has inspired poets and left a legacy of a picture perfect Ireland. In addition the close proximity of Dublin ensures the vibrancy of one of Europe's most intriguing cities is never far away and for the horse racing lover, the National Stud and the home of Irish horse racing, the Curragh are within easy reach. Few locations in Ireland occupy a better place in terms of location, history and prestige than that of the legendary K Club.
