| Mount Juliet House |
Thomastown, Co.Kilkenny, Ireland
Description:
Mount Juliet is quite simply one of the finest luxury golfing hotels in Ireland. Set on its own 1,500-acre estate, ten miles from Kilkenny, the resort oozes old-world charm. There is nothing stuffy, conceited or presumptuous about Mount Juliet. The service is efficient and friendly, the quality of accommodation is second to none, the setting is spectacular, the surroundings are peaceful, the facilities are comprehensive and the golf course is rated as one of the finest parkland creations in the country.
The facility comprises three different accommodation options - the main house, the Rose Garden lodges and the club rooms at the Hunters Yard. Mount Juliet House itself, standing proudly overlooking the River Nore, is a classical Georgian Mansion and a veritable architectural gem. Offering 32 luxurious bedrooms, the feeling of period opulence that strikes you upon first entering its great oak door, continues through the reception rooms and elegant bars. All bedrooms are individually designed, while most offer captivating views of the river. The Lady Helen Restaurant provides a fantastic culinary experience, while the Tetrach Bar and less formal Mr. Jinks Bar both recall the estate's glorious equine past.
Guests may also choose to stay in one of the Rose Garden Apartments, which are ideal for larger groups, families and longer stays; or one of the more casual club rooms in the Hunters Yard, a quaint converted stable yard. The Hunters Yard complex is at the hub of golfing activities and offers a relaxing bar and superb dining option in Kendals Restaurant. Much of the leisure facilities, including the swimming pool, sauna, steam room and gymnasium are also located here.
The estate is also home to Ballylinch Stud, a famous stud founded in 1914 by Major Dermot McCalmont. The stud has produced many great horses over the years, the most famous of which was probably "The Tetrarch", and still operates today. Guests may also use the facilities of the Iris Kellett Equestrian Centre, try their hand at clay pigeon shooting, archery or fishing in the River Nore.
