CUFFE LOVE...
New addition to stun
THE five-star Lyrath Estate in Kilkenny has created a glamorous and truly opulent residential package for guests to enjoy this August.
The ‘Luxury to a Tea’ offer (from €280) includes two nights bed and breakfast for two guests and a delectable Afternoon Tea with a glass of champagne in the newly-renovated Lady Charlotte’s Drawing Room.
Located in the original Manor House of Lyrath Estate, the drawing room is named after Lady Charlotte
Wheeler-Cuffe, a famous botanical artist, plant collector, gardener, and former resident of Lyrath.
Jungle
The elegant drawing room has feature wallpaper depicting lush jungle scenes and vibrant flowers in a nod to Lady Charlotte’s botanical discoveries and collections.
Deep sofas, elegant highbacked chairs and an interesting art collection all add to the eclectic feel of this room.
Afternoon Tea here is an elegant affair — dainty savoury and sweet treats are served on fine afternoon tea stands.
Sip on carefully-selected loose leaf tea from delicate bone china cups, choose your own botanical-inspired tea from the elegant tea caddy or opt for a glass of bubbles.
An impressive Irish resort, Lyrath Estate is located just five minutes from the heart of Kilkenny city and is set on over 170 acres of mature parkland.
Apart from Lady Charlotte’s Drawing Room, there are several dining outlets on the estate including the main hotel restaurant, Yew Restaurant which serves modern Irish cuisine, and The Grill and Bar and Tupper’s Bar, a traditional pub.
There is also a private wine cellar.
