Longueville House

Every Thanksgiving, my extended family travels for the week. This year 22 of us, ages 2 to 80, descended upon Longueville House with an exclusive hire. I cannot say enough about the warmth of the welcome and service! Aisling was friendly, warm, and professional throughout the process of booking (including lots of emails back and forth) and while we stayed. Jane visited with us, shared the history of the property and the family, and even printed up a poem for my dad’s 80th birthday. Amy, Laura, Rupert and Michael offered fabulous service at breakfast and dinner. Each night, we enjoyed a delicious dinner prepared by chef William. We are a mix of meat eaters, pescatarians and vegetarians, and he not only accommodated but delighted all of us! Some standout dishes were local deer, lamb, scallops, lentil samosas, and mushroom risotto; yum. Much of the food is local from the gardens and nearby. He is a creative and accomplished chef serving food you would expect at a Michelin-starred restaurant. They really went above and beyond to make our Thanksgiving dinner special. The dining room was set beautifully and the meal was exceptional. After dinner at night, we retired to the drawing room where we sipped coffee, Longueville cider, apple brandy, and more by a cozy fire. Rupert made us tasty apple brandy creams and generally took great care of us. The rooms were comfortable and quiet. I had two of my young nephews in the room above me, and some other young ones just down the hall and never heard anyone while tucked away in my room. The showers had amazing water pressure, which is sometimes hard to find. Many of us took walks around the property with the dogs, who were so sweet to have with us. They live out in the courtyard buildings, and are always ready for some fun. We loved everything about our stay, and everyone at Longueville House. If you have the opportunity to stay and eat here, don’t miss it!

Absolutely wonderful county house hotel where the owner cooks superb food grown in his garden. Very comfortable stay and excellent 5 star dinner where we invited guests. Very good breakfast. Fabulous grounds to explore too. Highly recommended

This was the perfect stay. The rooms were beautiful and spacious. The food was incredible and very fresh. And the owners were lovely. We enjoyed our evenings in the drawing room with the fireplace glowing at night. And the Louguevile Brandy is incredible.

What a lively place to visit. It takes you back in time. Staff abd owners were absolutely fantastic and custoner services were out of this world something that is sadly mussibg in a lotbof bigger and modern hotels. The chef (and one if the owners) cooked meals that you would normally only get in a Mitcheln Star restaurant and nearly all food came from the fantastic garden or sourced locally ie wild dear etc. I would have say to finish this Blue Book hotel is well worth a visit. Highly recommended

We enjoyed a wonderful weekend in Longuevile House. The bedroom was very good, clean, comfy bed and decent bathroom. Excellent food (breakfast, afternoon tea and dinner). Lots of fresh food grown on the estate. The staff are very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed lots of walks on the ground with the dogs too. It was very hard to leave.

Very welcoming team who provide great service, hands on engaged owners, lovely quiet rural location, hotel has a lot of character. Dinner food excellent, apple brandy produced on the site also well worth sampling. Breakfast good but limited selection and you have to be quick to get it.

Had a brilliant stay at Longueville with a group of friends. We went fishing both days and really enjoyed the hospitality. The breakfast and dinner were both excellent with lots of the ingredients being local or even from the large kitchen garden on site.

Longueville House. What a dreamy time there. Never mind the big luxurious bedroom with a bed so big to more enjoy “the chase”! Log fire in the evening looking out on the old oaks in the footprints of the Battle of Waterloo while having a Longueville Apple brandy. Such renewal wandering in the walled garden looking at pleached gages and apple trees and gooseberries and the vegetables in rows. The sustainability of it all. Wandering too in the orchards,the dark woods and gazing up at the old fortified walls of their ancestral medieval castle by the river. We could have fished here. Afternoon tea with the most soft lemon cake and mulled cider to warm the soul.Music from the past and the lovely chef in his scrubs called into the drawing room to tell us about our dinner. This was just gorgeous on both nights. Inviting books lay on every table so interesting that I wished we were snowed in there for a month. I loved Longueville.

I can not say enough about the amazing wedding that my husband and I had at this estate. We decided to host a destination wedding in Ireland for our families who traveled from Australia, the US, Canada, England, etc. to celebrate our marriage. Initially, we had planned to have this wedding weekend in August of 2021, but unfortunately we could not have anticipated the COVID-19 pandemic forcing us to move our date to the following year. Nevertheless, Aisling and her husband, William, were a delight to work with, even in the event of moving the date. No doubt the pandemic was difficult for many in the service and hospitality industry, but Longueville House never waivered in their quality and standards, and communication with the staff and AIsling herself was nothing but pleasant. The entire two night exclusive hire felt as though we were visiting distant family. The staff at Longueville House work tirelessly to ensure that all guests feel comfortable and taken care of. The day of the wedding carried on seamlessly into the early hours of the morning. The grounds of Longueville House are kept in beautiful shape, and the home itself is covered in history from floor to ceiling. We couldn't spend enough time walking the grounds, and admiring the art and other historical pieces throughout the venue. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and relaxing. The food cannot be overstated. Above all the service is what makes this place stand out among the rest. We were genuinely sad to leave the day after our wedding. If you have the chance to visit, please do. We hope to come back some day in the future (hopefully sooner than later!!) Thank you Aisling, William, and all of the staff at Longueville for your hospitality and for welcoming our rowdy bunch into your home. We had an outstanding experience!
