Tucked away in the quaint village of Kilmessan, in the heart of Ireland’s Ancient East and on the acclaimed Boyne Valley Drive, The Station House Hotel sits on 12 acres of lush manicured gardens and woodlands, listed on the Boyne Valley Garden Trail. Here, guests enjoy the feeling of a country escape all year round, an invitation to completely switch off and enjoy the peaceful, tranquil surroundings. Marrying Irish country house chic with eclectic influences from Europe, the Middle East, India and beyond, give a gift of The Station House’s layered, cosy and appealing blend of local Irish and handmade, and the finest of international artisans this Christmas.

Family-owned and run still by the Slatterys, with both Thelma and Chris involved on a daily basis, much of the business has devolved to two of their daughters, Suzanne and Denise, who now manage the hotel. Elegantly refurbished over the last two years to reflect both a new generation at The Station House Hotel and its previous history as a busy railway junction, giving the hotel a unique, well-travelled, slightly bohemian, utterly delightful feel and charm.

Give the gift of The Station House with one of our wonderful hampers, full of Thelma’s home-made treats, superior wines and cheeses, organic seaweed bath & body products from Voya and more.

Regular guests of The Station House love the daily touches included in any stay, that come from Thelma’s kitchen and garden, from jars of Thelma’s apple & ginger jam - delicious with cheese, pork or curry – to home-made granola, marmalades and jams for that special breakfast treat, shortbread biscuits and more. All jams and chutneys are made from fruits grown and hand-picked in Thelma’s garden, then made with love.

Presented in smart, luxurious gift bags with illustrated recycled tissue paper and handsome boxes, and available for pick up or delivery nationwide through-out the year.

A Station House Pamper Yourself gift box is €160 and includes everything to treat someone special with a Station House luxury waffle bathrobe and slippers, a Voya luxury scented candle, a bottle of Casa Defra Prosecco Frizzante from the Veneto, and some of Thelma’s delicious homemade shortbread biscuits.

Gift boxes can be mixed and matched to create your own bespoke presents with any selection of goodies from Thelma’s range here or wines from our Wine List here.

Or for a special surprise in the post, what about a Station House Gift Voucher, made for any amount, with no expiry and beautifully presented in gold embossed stationary – the perfect gift!

The Station House Hotel is also the only Irish stockist of wines from the 15th century Il Borro vineyard in Tuscany, owned by the famous fashion family of Ferragamo, so a layered blend of local Irish handmade and the best of international artisans is the perfect reflection of The Station House Hotel’s inspiration from travels across time and across the globe.

For example, The Station House Wine & Cheese gift box, €125, contains a bottle of Il Borro Piandinova Toscana Rosso 2018, jars of Thelma’s festive redcurrant port jelly, apple & ginger jam and apple & tomato chutney along with a selection of three excellent local Boyne Valley cheeses.

A Station House Pamper Yourself gift box is €169 and includes everything to treat someone special with a Station House luxury waffle bathrobe and slippers, a Voya luxury scented candle, Voya relaxing lavender & camomile pillow spray, a bottle of Casa Defra Prosecco Frizzante from the Veneto, and some of Thelma’s delicious homemade shortbread biscuits.

All the elements in the set gift boxes can also be mixed and matched to create your own bespoke presents, and there are vouchers available for unique experiences — afternoon tea for example, dinner for two in The Signal Restaurant, or an overnight stay in the unique two-room Signal Suite, the Master's Quarters, or in one of the uniquely designed bedrooms in the Main House or upstairs in the original engine room and workshop, now the elegant Carriage Suite.

Station House Gift Vouchers are also available in any denomination so recipients can choose just how they’d like to spend them.

All our gift box sets will be presented in a luxury gift bag and each item wrapped in the Signal Suite illustrated tissue paper. The boxes & bags will be in a rich navy with gold embossed writing – a luxurious gift for someone
