To celebrate Mother’s Day spoil your mum with a special treat at Lyrath Estate. The spectacular countryside resort hotel is located on the doorstep of Kilkenny city and is set on 170 acres of mature parkland, complete with emerald woodlands, verdant walkways, and charming gardens.
Lyrath Estate is built around a 17th century Manor House, which has been delicately preserved, sitting seamlessly alongside a modern hotel wing. The charm and grandeur of the 17th Century period is perfectly aligned with the clean lines of the hotel where 141 guestrooms offer residents a comfortable and relaxing place to unwind and enjoy the picturesque surroundings.
An elegant Afternoon Tea in the Lady Charlotte Drawing Room is a lovely way to spend an afternoon.
Located in the original Manor House of Lyrath Estate, it is named after Lady Charlotte Wheeler-Cuffe, a famous botanical artist, plant collector, gardener, and former resident of Lyrath Estate. The eclectic drawing room has feature wallpaper depicting vibrant jungle scenes and colourful flowers in a nod to Lady Charlotte’s botanical discoveries and collections. Deep sofas, elegant high-backed chairs and an interesting art collection all add to the contemporary feel of this room.
