Accommodation

“Wonderful in every respect” is a comment that is often made about Hilton Park. The family of the “warmly hospitable” Maddens have lived here for nearly 300 years. Johnny Madden is a very civilised character, full of chat about local affairs. His wife Lucy is one of the most inspired cooks in Ireland.

John Ardagh, The Observer

The Madden family have been providing country house accommodation for nearly thirty years. Johnny and Lucy, co founders of the Hidden Ireland, lend their knowledge and experience to the next generation Fred and Joanna.

Together with our super friendly staff, we strive to provide guests with an informal and personal service to ensure your stay is as relaxing and enjoyable as possible. Known locally as the Castle, guests experience the exclusive nature of staying in a historic luxury country house and stately home.
