An Irish Thanksgiving - Celebrate this November with Family & Friends in Longueville House!
Thanksgiving is traditionally a time for gatherings at home. The day is spent cooking the turkey, baking the pies, dressing the table, fixing the drinks, maybe watching football, then convening around the dining table with family and friends to express gratitude by way of overindulgence! But after months and months of sheltering at home, why not celebrate it in Ireland this year, letting the professionals take over for a change? Traveling abroad for Thanksgiving does not mean giving up all its valued traditions. You can still have the all-American feast, play flag football, and do the turkey trot, but from a luxurious destination such as Longueville House. This Thanksgiving we are offering a four night whistlestop Irish visit, arrival Wednesday 24th November and departure Sunday 28th. Full board is offered daily and included in price.
With 12 beautifully appointed guest bedrooms, we can cater for groups of up to 20 guests, children included.
Things to do on-site and locally
On site enjoy a peaceful stroll around Longueville and enjoy the early morning and dusk birdsong. We also have an eager pack of canine pals who would love to accompany you!
Explore our extensive orchards, walled kitchen garden and grounds.
Private fly fishing with Ghillie and Falconry display on the lawn may be arranged with prior notice.
Locally you may enjoy more extended walks at Doneraile Park, take a tour of Doneraile House, or take a hike up Mount Hillary, both within easy access of Longueville House.
For the energetic and adventurous, there's hiking or downhill cycling in The Ballyhoura Mountains or some wake boarding and water activities at Ballyhass Lakes nearby.
It is all about the outdoors here and there's plenty to see and do in the beautiful Blackwater Valley!
