Indulge Yourself with Time Spent at The Johnstown Estate

The Georgian doors of this listed 18th century rural residence open up to a haven of four-star comfort, luxury, warm service, great food, and lots of lovely ways to relax.

We have two different but equally delightful restaurants: Fire & Salt and The Coach House Brasserie. We also have a number of private dining rooms decorated in a manner befitting their location, perfect for a special occasion. Afternoon Tea is available in our spacious, airy Atrium while Parterre, our gorgeous new garden terrace cocktail bar, serves carefully crafted cocktails and light bites.

Accommodation is in tastefully designed and relaxing guest rooms and self-catering lodges while the Estate is also home to an award-winning, divinely tranquil destination spa.

We are independently owned, and in lots of little ways – from the warmth of our team to our continual investment in The Estate – we like to think this shows.

Fire & Salt Restaurant

Fire & Salt offers relaxed, fine dining in a sophisticated, contemporary space. Our menu features the finest meats, fish, dairy, vegetarian and vegan dishes for all tastes and appetites. Signature dishes include hand-picked beef, dry-aged for up to 36 days in Himalayan sea-salt – our name derives from the fire which seals and caramelises the steak and the salt which seasons it.

Every dish is thoughtfully designed and matched with tempting sauces, crisp fresh vegetables, and various potato sides.

Topping off a memorable meal, our desserts are skilfully constructed and beautifully decorated by our very talented pastry chef. They are almost too good to eat … but only if you have the willpower to resist.

Finally, our wine list is both varied and accessible. We have classic favourites mixed in with a few premium wines and one or two unusual finds for the buffs amongst us.

The Coach House Brasserie

Instantly feel at home in the Coach House Brasserie with its booth-seating and roaring fire in Kitty’s Corner. Upstairs, The Loft offers a more refined brasserie-style experience, and when the sun shines, a new, spacious, outdoor terrace to the front of The Coach House seats 50 people in airy, heated comfort.

The menu at The Coach House includes both casual, modern dishes and traditional, hearty crowd pleasers.

Pair your meal with a drink from the full bar menu, a signature cocktail or select from a wine list designed to match and enhance the menu.

Parterre

The Johnstown Estate’s welcomes you to Parterre, a captivating garden terrace cocktail bar serving impeccable cocktails amidst natural beauty.

Parterre stands undeniably elegant, a modern glass botanical oasis cleverly designed with a retractable roof, effortlessly transforming the atmosphere from the bright and airy embrace of daylight to the enchanting allure of the evening. This sophisticated space is perfect for casual daytime or evening cocktails and light bites in all seasons.

Afternoon Tea in The Atrium

What better pastime than people-watching in a hotel lobby? Relax in soft velvet wing-back chairs, in a space featuring bespoke carpet and original Irish art, bathed in light from the double-height windows and glass ceiling. The Atrium is a place of spacious comfort. It’s a place to talk business, read, savour Afternoon Tea or enjoy a cocktail… all in peaceful contentment.
