House & Gardens

Located on the coast road just 40 minutes from Dublin, an avenue lined with majestic oak trees guides you to stunning views of mountains, lakes, sea and a very warm welcome at our beautifully restored country manor four star hotel.

You will enjoy gorgeous, authentic old world charm with every modern luxury and comfort in idyllic, sprawling gardens, tranquilly surrounded by some of Ireland’s most mesmerising landscapes.

Tinakilly’s front hall is not only impressive but welcoming. The double high ceiling, ornate marble fireplace and majestic stairs make this entrance space perfect for receiving guests, capturing the air of excitement and celebration.

The house was constructed in 1876 for Captain Robert Halpin, who was born in Wicklow Town and who succeeded  in becoming Commander of The Great Eastern when it laid most of the world’s transoceanic telegraph cables.

Halpin is reputed to have been given an open cheque by the British Government to build his new mansion in gratitude for his contribution to improving world communications and thereby world trade. He recruited the then very fashionable Irish architect, James Franklin Fuller, to design the house.

I haven't had a proper chance to say thank you to each and everyone of you involved in our Wedding. Darragh and I got married on June 3rd, and our feet still haven't touched the floor, we'd an absolute ball!

My husband and I visited this lovely hotel last week for a two night break. It was excellent, fabulous staff, wonderful welcome on arrival last Tuesday, splendid food and beautiful surroundings. Dinner in the restaurant in the first evening was splendid and the bar food was from a bigger selection and excellent in night 2. All in all a wonderful base for exploring lovely Wicklow with its hills and beaches. Well done Tinakilly, we will be back!

I will be returning. I attended a conference at this hotel. It was very well managed, the scenery is amazing, all of the food served was delicious and the service was second to none. The rooms are furnished beautifully and are very spacious. I will return for a non business trip very soon.

Thank you so so much for making our wedding day so perfect. Everything went so smoothly and our friends and family had such a fantastic time. You were all so attentive and relaxed at the same time, and we really appreciate all the work you put in to make it so magical. Thanks.

We got married in this wonderful hotel on the 1st of July. The hotel staff were amazing and everyone was treated like royalty. The food and surroundings were out of this world and the hotel went above and beyond to make our special day perfect. So many of our wedding guests couldn’t believe how stunning the place was. If your looking for a hotel with the wow factor this is definitely the place.
