Radisson Blu Farnham Estate Hotel, Cavan  

spa facilities and food were great. Atmosphere was calm and relaxing.

Lighting in the room was not bright enough.

We stayed mid week therefore the hotel was a little more quiet than at weekends. this suited us. We liked the relaxing atmosphere of the hotel and it's surroundings. The staff and cleaning operatives were very relaxed in their roles. This added to the 'first gear' pace of the hotel. The leisure facilities were great including the gym. Breakfast was very nice with a good range. We spent some time in the old part of the house - drawing room etc. This was very nice, the book shelf in the hallway was a nice touch, we sat reading for a while in these rooms. The choice to spend time in old or contemporary surroundings we loved. It was like stepping from Pride and Prejudice into Lost in Translation! We enjoyed our stay.

There was just one thing we didn't like and that was the very strong smell of urine in steam room/sauna area. We guessed it was coming from the shores outside one of the steam rooms. This was a real let down. We stayed in the hotel some years back, there was just one area we felt needed a touch up and that was the steam room/ sauna area - flaking paint on the ceiling, broken buttons in the snail showers. Apart from that, everything else we felt had not slipped since we were last there.

Lovely setting and good spa but it was overcrowded the night we went because of cheap deals I suppose and we couldn't get a booking in the main restaurant. We went downstairs to the bar but left because of a rugby match blaring out. We ended up sitting in the bar near the lobby so there was no atmosphere. There's a huge amount of space in the hotel but it's badly designed in that there are acres of corridors and lobby space but nowhere really cosy to sit down. I loved the outdoor part of the pool. How amazing to be swimming outdoors in Cavan in January! But be aware of a really stupidly placed submerged wall just to the left as you exit the indoor pool for the outdoor. Myself and a number of other people swam straight into it. There's a notice about it but it is not clear which pool they're talking about. I suggested to the staff that they need to build it up to prevent an accident. The staff incidentally were just barely pleasant largely because of the crowds they had to deal with that night. The doorman, however, was delightful and very helpful. Don't think I'd go back. There's a downside to cheap deals even for multi starred hotels. Too many people pile in at weekends and the exclusivity goes alongside the top class service and feeling of luxury.

Very friendly staff good relaxed homely feeling around the hotel excellent facilities very relaxing spa and swimming pool food and service in cellar bar and great breakfast in restaurant hope to be back later this year

We stayed for one night and I have to say we really enjoyed the experience. The hotel was really clean and the staff were friendly and helpful. The spa area was fantastic and relaxing.

My partner and I wanted a relaxing weekend break away from the pressures of work and life. Coming to Farnham Estate was just what we needed. The staff were polite and helpful, the hotel was clean & tidy. And looked beautiful, the rooms were stunningly decorated. I would stay in a number of Radissson hotels, and Farnham Estate hotel was by far the best.

The Spa facilities were very good

The Spa experience was fantastic, they could really tap into that facility even more than they do. Staff were lovely and very helpful. The link of the old stately house/rooms to the new hotel is very well done, and it is a lovely touch to note that bar/food service can be enjoyed in these rooms also, which made it very authentic.

Felt some of the furnishing were a little dull (wood panelling/faded wood in main bedroom doors etc), but to be honest that is really nit picking, as overall experience was lovely

Peace and quite and luxury food and rooms were excellent

Not signposted well enough.management need to acknowledge all customers.

The hotel is far too warm

Staff were exceptional in Radisson Blu Cavan, they couldn't have been helpful enough. Stayed here 2 years ago and some things are not as good but overall enjoyable stay and would go back for a relaxing wkd.

€15 to hire bikes for even a hour is a bit pricey...

I loved the spa and the pool. The setting was amazing.

I disliked the service in the upstairs bar. The sfaff repeatdley gave us the wrong item we ordered of the menu. We had to go up to the bar to retrive our own drinks.
