Mount Juliet

Jump to:

The grand, ivy-covered Mount Juliet was a family home until 1989 and today is one of Ireland’s most impressive country manor hotels. The River Nore weaves through the expansive estate that surrounds the hotel, walking and riding trails meander through woodlands and ornamental gardens showcase traditional planting.

Entering the hotel is like stepping back in time. The building is ornately decorated with patterned wallpaper, original paintings dating to the 1830s, a sweeping staircase and elaborate stuccowork. The traditional Georgian decor carries through to the Michelin-starred Lady Helen restaurant, handsome Tetrarch Lounge and the 32 individually-decorated guest rooms. Although traditional in style, the rooms are all equipped with modern conveniences, such as complimentary Wi-Fi and tea and coffee making facilities.

In addition to the amenities within the hotel such as the pool, gym and spa, guests can choose from a wide range of on-site activities. Archery lessons, a falconry experience, salmon fishing in the River Nore or fishing on one of the three private lakes are all possible. Mount Juliet is also known for its Jack Nicklaus designed golf course and state-of-the-art equestrian center.

OUR OPINION:

The prestigious Mount Juliet estate is one of our top recommendations for Kilkenny, in particular for the top-notch service and the numerous activities on offer in the extensive grounds.
