Combining luxury, nature, and convenience, our accommodations provide an unforgettable experience, just minutes from Waterford city and the Waterford Greenway.

Stay in Our Great Garden

From forest cabins to elegant lodges, each accommodation at Mount Congreve is designed for ultimate comfort while immersing guests in the beauty of our world-renowned gardens.

Forest Eco Cabins: A Tranquil Retreat

For those seeking an off-grid experience with modern comforts, our Forest Eco Cabins—Bramble, Maple, Beech, Fern, and Hawthorn—offer a truly unique stay. Guests love the combination of seclusion and luxury, as highlighted by Desmond, who described his Beech Cabin stay as exceeding all expectations:

“The cabin was spotless and had all necessary amenities, including a hot tub, while also encouraging a break from the phone and TV. The staff were exceptionally friendly and ready to help if needed.”

Each cabin is designed for relaxation, with cozy beds, underfloor heating, and inviting outdoor hot tubs—perfect for unwinding under the stars. For an added touch of magic, Shona shared her experience:

“We took full advantage of the hot tub; it was magical under the trees and a crescent moon.”

Whether you’re spending a romantic weekend away or introducing the kids to the wonders of nature, the cabins offer the perfect balance of serenity and adventure.

Historic Gate Lodges: Comfort & Charm

If you prefer a more traditional stay with historic charm, our Gate Lodges—Damson, Whitfield, Rowan, Oak, and Acorn (coming in 2025)—offer a home away from home. Francis de Lourde called it “a beautiful place to stay”, while Paul, after his stay at the Gate Lodge, praised the thoughtful design:

“The finish on the lodge is exceptional, and a lot of thought has gone into the furnishings. Very impressed.”

With stylish interiors, modern amenities, and easy access to the gardens and Greenway, these lodges are ideal for both short and extended stays.

Courtyard Suite: Luxury & Elegance

For those seeking a touch of grandeur, the Courtyard Suite offers an exquisite stay, seamlessly blending heritage and modern luxury. Neil described it as:

“Probably my favourite place we’ve stayed. Luxurious with all the original features but very comfortable with all the mod cons. The location with the gardens was spectacular.”

Perfect for special occasions or a peaceful retreat, this suite ensures an unforgettable stay.

Explore & Unwind

One of the highlights of staying at Mount Congreve is having exclusive access to the gardens outside regular hours, allowing guests to experience their beauty in peaceful solitude.

Many of our guests, like Brid, have loved the convenience:

“Its proximity to the Greenway is a huge plus. We cycled along it twice during our stay!”
