Autumn eves at Hunter’s Yard – a romantic escape

to Mount Juliet Estate 

Add a little stylish romance to your autumn with an escape to Mount Juliet Estate, and the luxurious new Hunter’s Yard at this polished and cosy country estate just outside Kilkenny city.

Relaxed, luxurious and beautiful, Mount Juliet Estate is a wonderfully picturesque 500-acre country estate – one of Europe’s finest. This is where memorable times happen, full of style, fun and magical moments, where everyone is taken care of in the inimitable, thoughtful Mount Juliet Estate way.

In a bygone era when Mount Juliet Estate was a working farm of several thousand acres, a great many people were employed and housed on the Estate. Back then, Hunter’s Yard would have had horses and hay lofts, as well as lodgings for the grooms, coachmen and stable boys

Today, this elegantly transformed courtyard, just five minutes’ walk from the Manor House, is home to the bright and spacious bedrooms of Hunter’s Yard, and the relaxed and inviting dining option of The Hound at Hunter’s Yard.

A tranquil hideaway adjacent to the Jack Nicklaus signature-designed golf course and only a few paces from the treatment rooms of Mount Juliet Spa and the swimming pool, an overnight autumn stay in Hunter’s Yard includes a complimentary bottle of prosecco to welcome you and set the tone for a fun and relaxing autumn break.

From exploring the intriguing nooks and corners throughout the Manor House, in Hunter’s Yard and dotted through the substantial grounds – fabulous family portraits and historical images, ornate architectural details, fine specimen trees, hundreds of years old, their leaves turning magical colours in the autumn air, stone bridges and tumbling waterfalls, thoroughbred horses grazing in the fields, delicious food and drink in the various restaurants and bars – there is so much to enjoy together at Mount Juliet estate.

Specially designed as a more casual, laid-back luxury option to that available in the main Manor House, Hunter’s Yard is a fresh take on Mount Juliet’s rich heritage, and a stunning setting for a memorably romantic autumn eve. An overnight stay in Hunter’s Yard with complimentary prosecco and breakfast the following day is available from €175 ( Sunday-Thursday).
