When it came to his own home, he and Thomas spent almost a year searching for the perfect Georgian property.

After Francis Davis died in 1863 his successors further expanded the mill when they built the grain store in 1876. Already respected millers in the Enniscorthy area, the Davis family created more than just a place to grind grain.
- [When the Fairways Fill and the Flags Rise: Preparing Your Home for the Ryder Cup 2027](https://www.castleacreinsurance.eu/2026/03/10/let-insurance-ryder-cup-2027/): In September 2027, the eyes of the golfing world will turn toward the lush parkland of Adare Manor for the historic Ryder Cup. There’s something special about the 2027 Ryder Cup because it marks 100 years since the competition began. A centenary tournament hosted on Irish soil carries weight and the world will be watching. For many, the Ryder Cup is about birdies, match play drama, and the electric rivalry between Europe and the United States. At Castleacre Insurance it is also about something closer to home, with the entire community in County Limerick transformed with an influx of visitors from around the world, many country houses within reach of the tournament will be considering whether it is worth offering accommodation, but there are serious insurance consideration. Corporate groups often prefer the space and privacy of a full home and families travelling from overseas for the event ideally want kitchens, gardens, and parking which means homes can command a premium price during the Ryder Cup week. While it can be an astute financial decision to let either part of your home or you whole house out it is crucial to remember that when you change how your home is being used, you also change the risk you are exposed to which in turn impacts your own insurance cover - we can guide you through the various risks and help you ensure you are fully protected by your insurer.
