This charming resort is an eclectic blend of contemporary design and lavish detail set in glorious, peaceful surroundings, only 80 minutes drive from the nation's capital, Dublin.  For further details on the Mount Wolseley Hotel, Spa and Country Resort please visit their website www.mountwolseley.ie.

THE SPA

The quest for good health and beauty through massage and use of natural herbal remedies are ancient traditions honoured at Mount Wolseley. Experience these traditions, handed down through countless generations. The spa is an oasis of peace and tranquillity, with its pools and waterfalls, flowing between unique circular rooms, use of light, colour, pure essential oils and soft music to make this, without a doubt, an oasis for mind, body and soul.

THE GOLF

Just a short iron from the Hotel, Mount Wolseley Golf Course is a par 72 and is 7,106 yards long off the championship tees.  Native wildflowers border the green fairways that meander across the rolling hills and clear running streams.  The course was created by one of Ireland's most famous international golfers, Christy O'Connor Jnr who says of the course -

"What we have here at Mount Wolseley is a fair but testing eighteen holes of championship golf, none of which will disappoint even the most discerning player"

THE HISTORY

Mount Wolseley Estate first came into the possession of the Wolseley Family, the inventors of the first British designed car, in 1725.  Torched by insurgents during the 1798 Rebellion, it was rebuilt in 1864.  In 1925 the Estate was sold to the Patrician Brothers and was subsequently purchased by Donal Morrissey and family in 1994.  In 2004 the brand new Mount Wolseley Hotel, Spa and Country Club was complete and is a true testimony to the hard work and dedication put into it by its owners.  You could not fail to be amazed at the incredible transformation.
