CaToCa at Emo Court

Emo Tea Rooms are at Emo Court, which is near the village of Emo, Co. Laois. Emo Court is a mansion which was designed in 1790 for the First Earl of Portarlington. Today, you can wander around the beautiful picturesque gardens, featuring giant sequoias, which were planted in the late nineteenth century, and many other unusual trees and shrubs. The house can be accessed via guided tours. See Heritage Ireland for more information.

A customer testimonial, Santa visit, 2014: -

“Hi Elizebeth I just want to say a massive massive thank you to all the staff out there tonight they couldn't have been more accommodating , it's the first time ever Lucy has enjoyed seeing Santa and she is 8 , she has severe autism and a rare genetic disease and I had tears in my eyes seeing her face light up and smile , it was perfect , my hubby was running late and I had to take my 3 fairies on my own but you all made it so easy , it really was perfect from Santa and mrs clause , the poor elf in the cold to the girls in the cafe , who helped with the lift getting the wheelchair up and down ,every year it's a nightmare queuing with Lucy she has meltdowns and has such anxiety she has a fear of it it's so bad that at times the hype of Christmas is too much . I hope you continue you to keep doing it and I will be recommending it to Kolbe Special School, Laois Families For Autism and Irish Autism Action.
Thanks again and have a lovely Christmas”
