Rathsallagh House can host meetings, away days, private dinners and weddings for up to 250 guests, with exclusive use of the whole house available. It is a 17th century country house set in about 500 acres at Dunlavin, County Wicklow, around 50 minutes from Dublin Airport.
Seminars and company events
The official site presents the house as a private meeting venue that can be reserved exclusively, so a board meeting or strategy day stays confidential. Five rooms are listed for business use, all with natural daylight, blackout facilities and wheelchair access. Limetree and The Forge each take 40 people theater style. The Think Tank takes 40 theater style or 22 at a boardroom table. The Orangerie Room is a 10-seat boardroom. The Pavilion Room is the large space, with 150 seats theater style, 75 classroom style and 250 for a banquet or a standing reception.
Breakout space includes drawing rooms with open fires and more formal executive rooms. Teams can also work outdoors in the grounds or the walled garden, and the house says it arranges outdoor wifi. Projectors, whiteboards and unlimited wifi are offered, and other equipment can be provided with notice.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are a long-standing activity here. The estate is used exclusively for one wedding at a time, covering the ceremony, drinks, dinner, dancing, breakfast the next morning and a second-day gathering. The site gives a range of 70 to 220 guests. Ceremony options include the Granary, the Orangery, the walled garden and a stretch tent, and civil ceremonies are possible on the estate.
Rooms and capacities
The Pavilion Room is the largest room listed, at 174 square meters. Limetree and The Forge each measure about 63 square meters, The Think Tank about 62 square meters and The Orangerie Room 23 square meters.
Accommodation
The meetings page counts 29 bedrooms in the house, while the wedding page counts 40 bedrooms including the lodges. Room types are Standard, Superior, Eagle Lodge and Gate Lodge, and the whole property can also be taken as an exclusive rental.
Catering
Meals are prepared in house with local produce. Options run from hot lunches and afternoon cakes and scones to a six-course evening meal, and private dining takes place in the paneled dining room. Morning coffee is served in the drawing rooms.
History and setting
The house stands on the Kildare and Wicklow border, three miles off the N9 and about 20 minutes from Naas. A long avenue, mature trees and walled gardens separate it from the road. An on-site golf course, tennis, archery, clay pigeon shooting and treatments are available for after-session activities.
Getting there
Dublin Airport is about 50 minutes by road. The house is close to Punchestown Racecourse and the Curragh.
