Every Thanksgiving, my extended family travels for the week. This year 22 of us, ages 2 to 80, descended upon Longueville House with an exclusive hire. I cannot say enough about the warmth of the welcome and service! Aisling was friendly, warm, and professional throughout the process of booking (including lots of emails back and forth) and while we stayed. Jane visited with us, shared the history of the property and the family, and even printed up a poem for my dad’s 80th birthday. Amy, Laura, Rupert and Michael offered fabulous service at breakfast and dinner. Each night, we enjoyed a delicious dinner prepared by chef William. We are a mix of meat eaters, pescatarians and vegetarians, and he not only accommodated but delighted all of us! Some standout dishes were local deer, lamb, scallops, lentil samosas, and mushroom risotto; yum. Much of the food is local from the gardens and nearby. He is a creative and accomplished chef serving food you would expect at a Michelin-starred restaurant. They really went above and beyond to make our Thanksgiving dinner special. The dining room was set beautifully and the meal was exceptional. After dinner at night, we retired to the drawing room where we sipped coffee, Longueville cider, apple brandy, and more by a cozy fire. Rupert made us tasty apple brandy creams and generally took great care of us. The rooms were comfortable and quiet. I had two of my young nephews in the room above me, and some other young ones just down the hall and never heard anyone while tucked away in my room. The showers had amazing water pressure, which is sometimes hard to find. Many of us took walks around the property with the dogs, who were so sweet to have with us. They live out in the courtyard buildings, and are always ready for some fun. We loved everything about our stay, and everyone at Longueville House. If you have the opportunity to stay and eat here, don’t miss it!
