We had two fantastic days at the resort. Everything we experienced was of the highest quality - food options, pool, walking trails and the accommodation in Hunters Yard. There were a number of things that were available that we didn't get to such as archery, horse riding and tenni. There is something for everyone and the staff were extremely friendly and efficient. We also enjoyed a great chat with the resident storyteller Sean who explained the history of the estate from its initial build to the present day position. We will definitely return and having not played the golf course on this occasion, it will be a must do next time around!

Mount Juliet Estate is a gem tucked away in the lush Kilkenny countryside, blending old-world charm with top-notch amenities. Staying here felt like stepping into a luxurious slice of history (we kept calling it Bridgerton), especially with the look of the Georgian Manor House. The horseback riding experience was a standout, allowing us to explore the sweeping estate and scenic trails in a truly unique way. It was not just about the ride but also soaking in those tranquil views that made it memorable. The staff were genuinely friendly, making us feel right at home from the get-go. The food was the best we had during our trip of Ireland. Truly a gem.

The grounds and activities are absolutely stunning! The local staff (valets, golf shop, archery, fishing guides etc) all clearly take great pride in their work as well as offering warmth and hospitality. It is very clear who is there genuinely and desires to reflect well on the estate and who is there with a more “corporate” mentality. For a brand that wants to deliver a unique, elevated experience — subpar service from staff that don’t have skin in the game will not deliver the desired results. The overall environment of the estate is outstanding, but the level of service from some (not just 1 or 2) didn’t match the exterior.
