Christmas Couples Retreat

Christmas Couples Retreat at Mount Congreve Gardens

Escape the holiday rush and enjoy a romantic winter getaway at Mount Congreve Gardens. Choose from one of five charming Gate Lodges (three of which are dog-friendly) or retreat to a cosy couples stay in our beautifully renovated Courtyard Suite. Ideally located for those visiting Winterval or simply looking to enjoy the festive season in Waterford, this is the perfect base for a relaxed Christmas escape. Spend your days wandering the world-renowned winter gardens, exploring FOXFORD, or enjoying two complimentary tickets to the Victorian Christmas Tour at the Bishop's Palace in Waterford City, where you can step back in time and experience the traditions, sights and stories of a Christmas from a bygone era. Afterwards, return to your accommodation for a cosy evening together. Each stay is beautifully decorated with a real Christmas tree and includes festive touches such as mulled wine and mince pies to enjoy on arrival. Guests staying in selected Gate Lodges (Damson, Rowan and Whitfield) are welcome to bring their dog along to join in the festive break. Package includes:
