Exclusively for You: Ireland’s Blue Book Voucher Stay
Exclusively for Ireland’s Blue Book voucher holders, we invite you to experience a luxurious overnight stay in the Manor House, beginning with a welcome toast of Mount Juliet’s own Moongate Gin and a Michelin starred eight-course tasting menu at Lady Helen.
Mount Juliet Welcome
Your stay begins with a welcome toast of Mount Juliet’s own Moongate Gin. Named after the estate’s 18th century moon gate in the walled garden, it is a symbol of good fortune and prosperity, reflecting the generosity and spirit that have long defined Mount Juliet. Infused with 18 botanicals from the estate—each representing a hole on the Jack Nicklaus-designed championship golf course—it offers the first taste of the experience ahead.
Michelin-Starred Dining at Lady Helen
Then prepare for an exceptional evening of Michelin-starred dining at Lady Helen. Under the expertise of Executive Head Chef John Kelly, the restaurant has held its Michelin star for 12 consecutive years. His ethos of “keep it simple, do it well” transforms Ireland’s finest seasonal produce into bold, visually striking dishes – perfectly balanced, with an element of surprise.
The eight-course tasting menu is a masterclass in modern Irish cuisine, featuring Tipperary Organic Veal, estate-grown herbs, and the delicate sweetness of Mount Juliet’s own honey.
Each course is complemented by a curated wine pairing, selected from an exceptional collection of more than 130 wines and champagnes, ranging from small-batch organic vineyards to iconic Old World classics. The experience is as much about the setting as the food. Lady Helen’s elegant dining room, with its glow of candlelight, warmth of an open fire, intricate stuccowork, and antique furnishings, creates an atmosphere of quiet grandeur. Grand windows frame views of the River Nore and Ballylinch Stud, making every moment feel special.
A Stay in the Manor House
After an evening of exceptional dining, settle into the elegance of the Manor House for a restful night. Each individually designed guest room has its own character, with period furnishings, rich textiles, and all modern comforts to make you feel at home. Some rooms offer sweeping views of the River Nore and Ballylinch Stud, while others overlook the manicured estate gardens.
In the morning, wake to soft light filtering through Georgian windows and enjoy a leisurely Full Irish breakfast, with freshly baked breads, locally sourced ingredients, and coffee made just the way you like it. Take time to experience all the estate has to offer. Visit the Health Club, take a refreshing swim in the 15 metre heated pool, unwind in the sauna and steam room, or hop on a courtesy bicycle for a scenic ride through the parkland. If time allows, sink into a velvet armchair in the boutique cinema and enjoy a classic film—an indulgent way to ease into the day ahead.
Discover More at Mount Juliet Estate
“Mount Juliet Estate invites you to immerse yourself in a world of exceptional experiences, from the rolling fairways of the Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course to the world-class Equestrian Centre. Take on the legendary 18 holes—each one represented in the botanicals of Moongate Gin—and play a course that has hosted some of the greatest names in golf.
For those who prefer to experience the estate at a different pace, there’s horseback riding through scenic trails, falconry sessions where birds of prey soar overhead, and the chance to try your hand at archery or laser clay shooting. Enjoy a peaceful afternoon by the River Nore, casting a line for wild salmon and trout, or set out on a courtesy bicycle to take in the estate’s stunning landscapes.
