The Fairytale

Mount JulietIn years to come, you will look back on a truly special vacation - a week spent enjoying each other's company amidst the wonderful atmosphere of an 16th century tower house and relaxing amongst the splendour of the world-famous Mount Juliet Estate in Co. Kilkenny .

hunters-yard Mount Juliet How many people can actually claim to have spent time in a true castle? Ballyhannan Castle, just a few miles from Shannon Airport and three miles from the pretty village of Quin, will provide that unique feel and setting only ever experienced by Irish lords. Although these men had to be alert to the dangers of approaching enemies, you need only concern yourselves with relaxing and enjoying the first nights of your honeymoon within the atmosphere of this remarkable building.

The main living and bedroom are situated in the upper part of the tower and so you will wake up each morning looking forward to the spectacular views of the fertile and green countryside of south Clare coastline.

ballylinch-stud The 1,500 acre (607 hectare) demesne of Mount Juliet Estate takes you into a different world.
Passing through lush rolling parkland, the house, in a picture postcard setting on the river Nore, evokes a feeling of graciousness... a haven of peace so rarely found in today's busy world.

This elegant Georgian mansion, surrounded by 1,500 acres of lush Irish pastures and rolling woodlands provide a rare and beautiful setting for a memorable experience. The estate offers a variety of exhilarating sporting opportunities. Guests can explore the estate on bicycles or on foot.

A visit to Ballylinch Stud farm, an integral part of estate life, will help to understand and perhaps share the age-old Irish love of horses.

The Mount Juliet Equestrian Centre offers basic tuition, trail riding, cross country jumping and show jumping and will tailor make instruction programmes to the rider's specific needs. Salmon and trout fishing is available on the two fine rivers which run through the estate - The River Nore and the Kings River. Tuition and equipment is provided for all sports. And if all this is not enough, Mount Juliet is a golfers paradise with the Jack Nicklaus signature 18 hole Golf Course, host to the World Golf Championship - The American Express Golf Championships of 2002 and home to the Irish Opens of 1993-1995.

Those who prefer to remain indoors can avail of the stylish Leisure Centre and Spa, which features a 15m, heated swimming pool, sauna, steam room, gym and full Beauty Salon.

Dublin is a vibrant city of contrasts and leaves an indelible memory in the minds of many visitors. Your hotel in the city centre is a perfect location from which to explore the many intricacies of this unforgettable city.

One of the really positive Dublin characteristics is the human scale of the city - it is best navigated on foot. Its streets will take you passed magnificent architecture, through busy shopping areas, business districts, parks, Georgian Squares, cosmopolitan restaurants, pubs and breweries.
