Downton Abbey Inspired Experience

An Edwardian Escape

Step back into the grace and grandeur of a bygone era with an overnight stay at Glenlo Abbey Hotel & Estate, complete with a gourmet à la carte breakfast and An Afternoon with the Grantham’s—our signature Downton Abbey inspired Afternoon Tea experience.

Hosted in the graceful surrounds of the River Room, this indulgent tradition draws on the refined world of the Crawleys, where period charm touches every element, from the fine china to the gentle pour of tea. Impeccable service, opulent surroundings, and views over the sweeping estate set the tone for an experience where time slows and indulgence takes centre stage.

Your afternoon unfolds with a dainty assortment of finger sandwiches and exquisite seasonal creations, each crafted using the finest local ingredients at their peak. Freshly baked scones, delicate pastries, and indulgent sweet treats follow—perfectly paired with a curated selection of Ronnefeldt loose-leaf teas, fragrant herbal infusions, or freshly brewed coffee.

Beyond the table, the 138-acre lakeside estate awaits your discovery. Meander along leafy pathways, cycle scenic trails with one of our estate bicycles, or sink into the plush comfort of the Abbey Movie Theatre for a classic film screening. Those seeking tranquillity can retreat to Glo Spa & Wellness for a rejuvenating massage or facial, while the more adventurous might join our Master Falconer for a private hawk walk across the estate.

Each morning begins in the River Room with an elegant à la carte breakfast, where the aroma of fresh coffee mingles with the soft morning light and the promise of another day at Glenlo Abbey—where every moment is as memorable as the last.
