Set on 170 acres of picturesque parkland and historic gardens, the luxurious and elegant five-star estate in Kilkenny Lyrath Estate has won "Employer of the year" at the Kilkenny Business Awards.
The annual awards, which took place on Saturday, November 25, were held at Lyrath Estate with over 500 representatives from Kilkenny businesses gathered together for a glittering evening, celebrating success.
Speaking from the event, Lyrath Estate's General Manager Emma-Jane Eaton, expressed her delight on behalf of the entire team at the resort.
"Winning this award means a lot to me and the team." said Emma-Jane. "Being a place where people want to work is of the utmost importance to us and I truly believe it is what means we are able to give our guests the five star experience they have when staying with us. It is a great recognition and testament to the people who make it happen and we will continue working hard to be an exceptional employer."
With a 17th century manor house at its heart, guests can indulge in the award-winning spa, savour a taste of Kilkenny in the restaurants and bars or while away an afternoon enjoying decadent afternoon tea in the original drawing rooms of the manor house, respectively restored with an eclectic style in honour of the adventurous former owner Lady Charlotte. With falconry and cycling among the onsite activities, guests can discover the historical grounds that surround Lyrath Estate, the welcoming and elegant five-star countryside resort.
