Mount Congreve Gardens situated in Kilmeaden Co. Waterford, in Ireland’s Ancient East, is home to one of “the Great Gardens of the World”. Mount Congreve House, home to six generations of Congreves, was built in 1760 by the celebrated local architect John Roberts. 

Today, Mount Congreve continues to thrive as a centre of horticultural excellence, conservation, and heritage tourism. Visitors can explore over 70 acres of world-class gardens and 16 km of walking paths, discover rare plant collections, and enjoy panoramic views of the River Suir. The estate is also home to FOXFORD, the renowned Irish lifestyle brand, and The Stables Café, which serves locally sourced, seasonal food in a beautifully restored courtyard setting.
 
For those wishing to linger longer, Mount Congreve now offers a variety of on-site accommodation options, including restored gate lodges, eco cabins with private hot tubs, an elegant suite, and stylish bell tents — providing an immersive and relaxing escape surrounded by nature. With a state-of-the-art visitor centre, curated retail experiences, guided tours, and a calendar of seasonal events, Mount Congreve offers a truly unique experience that celebrates its historic legacy while embracing a vibrant, sustainable future.
