On this episode of the Sunday Show, I had the pleasure of speaking with the General Manager of Mount Juliet Estate, Mark Dunne. A stunning retreat in Co. Kilkenny that blends luxury with adventure. From its championship golf course, which has hosted some of the world's top players, to its Michelin-starred dining at the Lady Helen restaurant, Mount Juliet is a haven for those who love the finer things in life. We also explored the estate’s equestrian centre, fishing spots, and its warm, welcoming atmosphere that makes every stay unforgettable. And, of course, no visit to Kilkenny would be complete without a taste of its vibrant culture—whether it's exploring the medieval streets, enjoying local crafts, or joining Nevin Cody’s Shenanigans Tour, a brilliant way to experience the city’s hidden gems and hilarious history. Tune in for an inspiring chat about one of Ireland’s most special destinations! I visited just before Christmas and it was a magical experience.
