SFTW: Glenlo Abbey Hotel & Estate

The five-star Glenlo Abbey Hotel & Estate is embracing the nostalgia of the Downton Abbey era and is giving one lucky Irish Times reader the chance to win a two-night escape with breakfast daily and Afternoon Tea on one day.

This September, the five-star Glenlo Abbey Hotel & Estate is embracing the nostalgia of the Downton Abbey era and offering a two-night escape for those looking for a refined experience.

Majestically rising from the still waters of Lough Corrib and dating back to the 18th Century, the 138-acre Glenlo Abbey Hotel & Estate is one of Ireland’s most remarkable five-star hotels, where old-world charm meets contemporary elegance.

Home to The Pullman, two former carriages from the Orient Express, each with its own distinct history and style, this restaurant offers one of the most unique dining experiences. The hotel has experienced many changes over the years, continually evolving while honouring its past.

Your journey begins as you arrive at the majestic Glenlo Abbey Hotel & Estate, surrounded by acres of stunning lakeside scenery. You are greeted by your attentive team of staff who warmly welcome you and swiftly take your luggage as you settle into the Downton lifestyle on the estate. Stroll through beautifully landscaped gardens, taking in the panoramic views of Lough Corrib, and immerse yourself in the historic charm that makes Glenlo Abbey truly unique. Catch a movie each evening in the comfort and privacy of the Abbey Movie Theatre. Start each day with an à la carte breakfast in The River Room, overlooking the golf course, the Pullman carriages, and the tranquil waters beyond. Spend your days basking in the serenity of the estate, indulging in a round of golf, or discovering the tranquillity at Glo Spa, all with the promise of exceptional service at every turn. On a day of your choice, savour a Downton Abbey-inspired Afternoon Tea. An Afternoon at the Grantham’s is a decadent Afternoon Tea at Glenlo Abbey Hotel & Estate, and it is a truly special experience. The tasteful surroundings of the River Room and flawless presentation make it a memorable occasion. You’ll enjoy an opulent setting, welcoming service, and transforming tea into an indulgent treat with Edwardian grace in a setting worthy of the Crawleys.
