Indulge Yourself with Time Spent at The Johnstown Estate

The Georgian doors of this listed 18th Century rural residence open up to a haven of four-star comfort, luxury, warm service, great food, and lots of lovely ways to relax. 

We have two restaurants with different menus and styles; an airy, spacious atrium for Afternoon Tea or pre-dinner drinks; tastefully designed and relaxing guest rooms and lodges; and the newest – and most divinely tranquil – destination spa in Ireland. 

We help happy couples say ‘I do’ in front of the people they love – whether that’s 4 guests or 400. We host events, exhibitions, and multi-day conferences in our separate conference centre. We’re also a destination for top sports teams who want to strategise, train and eat well. 

We are independently owned, and in lots of little ways – from the warmth of our team to our continual investment in The Estate – we like to think this shows.
