A timeless festive escape to Faithlegg

Once upon a winter's eve, nestled in the heart of the frosted countryside, stood a grand old manor: Faithlegg, wrapped in the quiet magic of Christmas. Here, the season unfolds like the pages of a beloved storybook, where candlelight flickers gently in the windows and the soft strains of a violin greet guests as they arrive from the cold. Mulled drinks warm chilled hands, and the scent of pine, spice, and open fires welcomes you into a world where time slows and wonder begins.

Each day at Faithlegg begins with a hearty breakfast of Waterford's finest ingredients as the morning sun glimmers on frost-dusted fields. Guests wander woodland paths or venture into the nearby city of Waterford, where the streets are alive with Winterval’s festive cheer, twinkling lights, Christmas markets, and the joyful sounds of the season. Afternoons invite quiet pleasures: a warming drink by the fire, a soothing swim, or a visit to the spa. Some curl up with a book in a cosy corner, while others gather for a seasonal afternoon tea as laughter mingles with the clink of fine china.

As evening falls, Faithlegg transforms once more. The manor glows under a starlit sky and candlelit dinners bring the taste of the season to life with rich local flavours. Live music fills the air and every corner hums with gentle joy. At night, rooms are lovingly turned down with soft linens and thoughtful touches to end the day in warmth and comfort.

And when New Year’s Eve arrives, the manor sparkles for a grand celebration with a gala dinner, music, and dancing to welcome the year ahead in unforgettable style. For both guests and locals alike this Gala dinner with midnight toast and live music by Thank Funk band is the perfect way to ring in the new year. Tickets are just €100 per person and available through events@faithlegg.com

This is Christmas at Faithlegg, where timeless traditions, cosy moments, and a touch of magic come together to create a festive escape you’ll treasure forever.
