Hotel Meyrick, long recognised as the home of the perfect afternoon tea in Galway city, has introduced a new traditional afternoon tea menu for autumn.

Tucked away just two miles from Galway city is the five-star Glenlo Abbey Hotel, in vast acres of rich, lush, scenery on the banks of Lough Corrib. The abbey is the ancestral home to one of Galway’s famous tribes, the Ffrench family. The graceful, gothic, two-storey house was built in 1740, with the abbey itself being constructed in the 1790s as a private church for the family. In the 1980s, the house and estate were bought, restored, and converted, transforming it into a unique hotel.

With majestic views over Lough Corrib and dating back to the 18th century, the five star Glenlo Abbey Hotel is where old world charm meets contemporary elegance.

Afternoon tea is an indulgent treat that everyone should try. The Loughrea Hotel and Spa is now serving afternoon tea in the beautiful surrounds of the Sky Lounge on the Roof Top Garden which boasts panoramic views of the Galway countryside and Loughrea Lake.

Your brother told me you’d come up. How are they all down there in Turlough? They must be delighted to have you home in Mayo. How long has it been? Three years?"
