Lyrath Estate, Kilkenny is set on 170 acres of mature parkland complete with emerald woodlands, verdant walkways, and charming gardens.

Lyrath Estate has been 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 house 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.

There are several dining outlets on the estate such as the main hotel restaurant, Yew Restaurant which serves modern Irish and European cuisine, The Grill, famous for its steak, lobster, pasta, and great cocktails and Tupper’s Bar, a traditional pub where you can relax and enjoy a pint of the black stuff. Facilities include the award-winning Oasis Spa, which incorporates several treatment rooms, offering face and body treatments for both men and women. The thermal suite in the spa includes a number of heating and cooling experiences including a stunning outdoor hydrotherapy pool which looks out on the mature private gardens.

The Hawkeye School of Falconry on the grounds offers guests the chance to fly a bird of prey and feed it from their own, gloved hand.
