Description
Tinakilly House is an elegant Victorian country mansion set in seven acres of beautifully landscaped gardens overlooking the Irish Sea. The hotel was originally built by the British government in 1883 for Captain Robert Halpin, commander of "The Great Eastern" and mariner supreme who laid 2,600 miles of telegraphic cable in 1866, joining Europe to America.
With 51 spacious period bedrooms, some with four-poster beds and junior suites with breathtaking sea views, each individually furnished with antiques and offering all modern comforts.
Near this hideaway on the doorstep of Dublin are grand mountain drives, historic sites, beautiful gardens, great golf, fine horse rides and bracing walks.
An elegant oak-lined avenue leads up to Tinakilly House, which is enveloped by seven acres of beautiful gardens overlooking the Irish Sea and Broadlough Coastal Lagoon.
The stunning sea views, romantic gardens and surrounding hinterland of Tinakilly capture but a small slice of the magnificence of county Wicklow. Warmed by the Gulf Stream, the county known as "The Garden of Ireland", boasts exquisite and highly acclaimed gardens, such as Mount Usher and Powerscourt.
Enjoy a stroll through the 19th century gardens, which have been mapped to include the "Foxes Wood", the "Badger Walk", the rose garden and the herb garden, the tennis court and the croquet lawn.
