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.
