Autumn & Winter in Cashel Palace Hotel

As the air turns crisp and the golden hues of Tipperary’s countryside fade into winter’s stillness, Cashel Palace invites you to embrace the charm of the colder seasons. Wrapped in luxury and steeped in heritage, our autumn and winter itinerary is designed to nourish the soul with restorative experiences, rich culinary moments and unforgettable encounters with Ireland’s living history.

Begin your escape with a warm welcome and a leisurely lunch or refined afternoon tea in the Queen Anne Room. Beneath the glimmer of chandeliers and beside a crackling fire, savour delicate pastries, fragrant teas, and seasonal light bites that delight the senses.

Stroll through our private Bishop’s Walk and explore the majestic Rock of Cashel, its ancient towers silhouetted against the moody skies of late autumn. This iconic site, just steps from the hotel, evokes centuries of Irish history and spiritual power.

As evening falls, enjoy a fine dining experience at Chez Hans, a short walk away. This celebrated restaurant, nestled within a former Victorian church, offers an intimate setting for exceptional Irish cuisine.

Awaken to a hearty breakfast, then head to Rossa Pottery for a hands-on pottery masterclass. Feel the earth in your hands as you shape your own creation a timeless keepsake of your visit.

Return to Cashel Palace to unwind in the spa. Sink into a seaweed bath or retreat to the thermal suite before preparing for a leisurely evening.

As twilight descends, join us for a curated whiskey or wine tasting hosted by our resident experts in the atmospheric cellar or elegant bar.

Dinner tonight is delightfully casual at Mikey Ryan’s Bar & Kitchen, where seasonal comfort food is served beside roaring fires. Afterward, step into Donoghue’s Traditional Irish Bar for a Monday night filled with traditional music, storytelling, and spirited camaraderie, a true Irish winter's evening.

After breakfast, set out to explore the equestrian heart of Tipperary with a visit to Fethard Horse Country Museum. Discover the town’s rich legacy in thoroughbred racing and breeding, then enjoy a light lunch in the museum’s café.

In the afternoon, take a guided tour of Coolmore Stud, the world-renowned home of champions. This exclusive experience offers rare insight into Ireland’s global influence on horse racing.

Return to Cashel Palace for a final evening of indulgence. Dine in The Bishop’s Buttery, our Michelin-starred restaurant, where seasonal produce from the Golden Vale is transformed into culinary artistry. Beneath vaulted ceilings and beside a glowing hearth, toast to the end of a remarkable winter retreat.

As winter’s hush settles over the Tipperary landscape, Cashel Palace offers an invitation to pause, to savour, and to reconnect with history, with nature, and with yourself. Whether by the fireside, in the spa, or beneath the stars of a crisp night sky, each moment here is crafted to warm the soul and inspire the spirit.
