As the calendar flips to September, the BER months—September, October, November, and December—usher in a season of crisp air, golden leaves, and the comforting promise of autumn. It’s a time when nature slows down, the days grow shorter, and we begin to crave warmth, relaxation, and a touch of indulgence.
At Killashee Hotel, nestled in the heart of County Kildare, autumn is more than just a season—it’s an experience. Whether you're escaping for a weekend retreat or planning a midweek recharge, Killashee offers the perfect sanctuary to embrace the chill while staying wonderfully warm.
A Taste of Autumn – The Harvest Pantry
There is no better way to celebrate the season than with our Autumn’s Harvest Pantry escape. Set across our 55-acre estate, the golden light and crisp air provide the perfect backdrop for a stay that is steeped in flavour and charm. Guests can look forward to a luxurious overnight stay with breakfast in The Pippin Tree Restaurant, time to unwind in the leisure centre and spa facilities, and thoughtful seasonal touches waiting in the room – from a platter of artisanal cheeses and chutneys to a jar of our very own Killashee honey, harvested from on-site hives. As night falls, a G&T paired with berries and handcrafted chocolates brings the day to a sweet and exquisite close.
Find Your Rhythm Again – Deep Sleep Serenity
For those seeking calm and restoration as the nights draw in, our Deep Sleep Serenity package is the ultimate way to reset. Every element has been carefully chosen to encourage a peaceful night’s sleep. From the soothing lavender and chamomile pillow mist to a calming face mask and a cup of sleepy herbal tea, guests are guided gently into stillness. After a nourishing three-course dinner, you’ll sink into luxurious comfort, waking refreshed to a full Irish breakfast and another day of serenity at Killashee.
Autumn Evenings – Whiskey & Wine Tastings
Autumn is also a season for gathering and savouring new flavours. This October, our elegant Larkspur Lounge plays host to a series of Whiskey Tasting Evenings in partnership with Waterford Whiskey. Guests will enjoy three distinctive pours served in original Waterford glasses, paired with complimentary snacks to bring out the best of each sip. It’s a relaxed and refined midweek indulgence, running on the 8th, 15th, 22nd and 29th of October at 6:30pm.
Prefer the elegance of wine? On Sundays, the pace slows even further with our Wine Tasting Evenings, where guests can discover three carefully selected wines from renowned vineyards. Nibbles are included, and the evening ends with a glass of your favourite wine from the tasting. Perfectly timed to ease into the week ahead, these intimate gatherings take place on the 5th, 12th, and 19th of October, and on the 2nd of November, also at 6:30pm.
Your Autumn Sanctuary Awaits
The BER months in Ireland may bring a chill to the air, but Killashee offers warmth in abundance – from luxurious rooms and gourmet dining to woodland walks and crackling fires. Whether you’re planning a romantic autumn break, a restorative wellness escape, or a seasonal tasting experience, our doors are open and the welcome has never been warmer.
This autumn, let Killashee be your sanctuary – a place to slow down, savour the season, and create lasting memories.
