The Club House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The room was super clean, the staff was extremely kind. We did not take part in any of the dining but everyone locally talked up the food!"

Mount Juliet Estate, Autograph Collection

10/10 Excellent

"From our arrival til our departure, the service at Mount Juilet was impeccable. The Hotel itself is beautiful with spacious well decorated rooms, well thought out amenities and a lovely spa. We both enjoyed massages (some of the best we have had). Meals in The Hound were tasty and well priced. The Saddle bar has a lovely atmosphere and we thoroughly enjoyed meeting Sean who offers historical talks on tbe estate on Thursday and Sunday evenings. Looking forward to returning in the future to see the renovated manor house and enjoy the estate in warmer weather! "
