THE ESTATE
Built in 1766, The Millhouse and The Old Mill Slane, the weir and the millrace were once considered the largest and finest complex of its kind in Ireland. Originally a corn mill powered by two large water wheels, the harvest was hoisted into the upper floor granaries before being dried, sifted and ground.
Over time, the Old Mill became a specialised manufacturer of textiles turning raw cotton into luxury bed linen. Times have changed but this past remains part of our history, acknowledged and conserved.
In 2006, The Millhouse was creatively rejuvenated, transformed into a hotel and wedding venue of unique character - a nod to the early 1900's when it briefly served as a hotel-stop for passengers on pleasure steamer boats.
THE COACH HOUSE
Enjoy our beautiful, private dressing and makeup room overlooking the river. This suite is the perfect space for you and your wedding party to enjoy all aspects of getting ready & will act as a haven to calm those pre--wedding nerves while getting amazing photos! A very special and tailored champagne breakfast is included and will be delivered to your suite.
