There are some places that invite you to slow down the moment you arrive, and Tankardstown House is one of them.

Whether you are planning a romantic getaway, a special celebration, or simply some well-deserved time away, our Leisure Night on 9th May is the ideal opportunity to enjoy everything the estate has to offer. From indulgent dining to peaceful garden walks, here is how to make the very most of your stay.

Begin with Afternoon Tea

There is no finer way to ease into your escape than with Afternoon Tea. Served in the elegant surroundings of Brabazon, this timeless treat is a chance to settle in and savour the slower pace of Tankardstown.

Enjoy a selection of delicate finger sandwiches, freshly baked scones with clotted cream and jam, and beautifully crafted pastries, all accompanied by a carefully chosen range of teas. For an extra touch of celebration, why not add a glass of something sparkling?

Relax in the Walled Garden Hot Tub

Between indulgent moments, take time to unwind in our peaceful walled garden. Tucked away within the estate grounds, the hot tub offers a private sanctuary where you can relax beneath the open sky and enjoy the calm of the countryside.

It is the perfect place to pause, recharge, and embrace the slower rhythm of your stay.

Discover the 10-Course Tasting Menu at Brabazon

 

As evening approaches, dining at Brabazon Restaurant becomes the highlight of your stay. Our 10-course tasting menu is a true culinary journey, celebrating the finest seasonal ingredients from our own estate gardens and trusted local producers.

Each course has been thoughtfully created by our chefs to showcase flavour, creativity, and provenance, offering a dining experience that is both refined and deeply connected to the local landscape.
