Rooms
The manor offers 32 bedrooms that elegantly blend classical decor with modern comforts. These characterful rooms, which have all been named after esteemed guests, are individually decorated in a traditional style that’s in keeping with the Georgian design of the property. The custom furnishings allow the property to retain the ambience of an extravagant family home rather than the feel of a typical hotel. Expect large windows and high ceilings, floral wallpaper or fabrics, antique accents and soft lighting. Additionally, all rooms are equipped with the latest technology and offer complimentary Wi-Fi as well as tea and coffee making facilities.
Location
Mount Juliet is set on a huge, protected estate located approximately half an hour outside Kilkenny. The considerable grounds form the second largest working estate in all of Ireland and consist of several ponds, a walled garden, an 18-hole golf course and a stud farm. The River Nore winds through the estate as do several walking and horse-riding trails.
Food and drink
Fine dining is available at the Michelin-starred Lady Helen restaurant, which serves breakfast and an award-winning, internationally-inspired dinner. More casual cuisine can be found at The Hound in Hunter's Yard, one of the restored and handsomely-repurposed outbuildings which has rustic decor featuring exposed stone walls and wooden beams. There are also two bars — Major’s Bar in the manor house and the Saddle Bar at Hunter’s Yard.
Families
Mount Juliet welcomes guests of all ages and the estate caters to young children by offering a baby concierge service for parents with children under the age of three. Other family amenities include the nature trail, junior fishing, junior golf clinic, pony rides, cinema nights and special hours at the swimming pool.
