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 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.
