Culinary Delight

“I had the pleasure of dining at the Brabazon restaurant during my stay, and it was simply excellent. The three-course meal was priced modestly at €30, and I indulged in the tomato soup for starter, which was incredibly tasty. The chicken supreme main course was like a Michelin star rendition of Sunday dinner—enhanced flavors that truly made it a beautiful dish. The chocolate brownie dessert served in a jar, accompanied by chantilly cream and ice cream, was an absolute knockout.” view full review

Cozy Accommodations

“During my stay, I was in cottage 5, which was spotlessly clean and incredibly cozy. The amenities were great, with an excellent shower and bath. It provided me all the comfort I needed while attending a wedding. The thoughtfulness in the room’s design made it a good haven for relaxation after the festivities.” view full review

Really good Attention

“I was truly impressed by the level of attention to detail in service at Tankardstown House. From the moment we arrived for my son's wedding, the staff went above and beyond to accommodate our needs.
