For centuries our orchard’s pippin trees have sustained and delighted the residents of Killashee. A crop so abundant and delicious that every year you’d be certain to lose a share to the mischievous wildlife that inhabited the estate. We named our restaurant the Pippin Tree to remind us that sometimes the very best ingredients are found in our own back garden.

During Colonel St. Ledger Moore’s time, Killashee bustled with activity, requiring many labourers and craftspeople to run the estate. Chief among them was the resident blacksmith, who forged shoes and livery for the Colonel’s prized horses. When Killashee was sold in 1927, he was honoured with a sizable house and a monthly pension of money and coal. Oak & Anvil is a living celebration of this spirit of graft and craft.

Since the late 19th century Killashee has been synonymous with splendid ornamental gardens. Colonel St Leger Moore’s dearest wife Alice loved spending time in her botanical haven, admiring the blooms each new season would bring. Her favourite of all was the larkspur, standing tall and proud, unashamedly proclaiming its beauty for all to see. The Larkspur Lounge is the perfect spot to sit back and savour life’s sweet moments/
