    It was a last minute decision to stay overnight in Birr but was told at first they had no rooms left but when I went onto Booking.com I was able to get a room but thankfully after around 15 minutes I managed to get a room but it would have been better if they had better knowledge of vacancies being available

    Lack of tables in bar - restaurant was closed.

    It's a lovely hotel, with a friendly staff, in a very nice location. Gym & swimming pool, steam from, sauna & jacuzzi. Food was good & breakfast was good & varied. Family room had double & single bed, & a very decent size couch/ pull out bed. Really lovely lobby to sit in & take drink or tea & scones.

    Lighting not great in bathroom for putting on make-up. We arrived after 10.00 pm and there were young children racing around the reception area. The service in the bar was very slow. A long roundabout walk to locate the lifts.

    We liked our stay in this hotel very spacious room with large bathroom. Excellent and varied choices for breakfast. Very pleasant reception and breakfast staff.

    Unfortunately the people staying in the room next to me were playing loud music and yelling up until about 2am which affected my stay. Other than that, it was a great experience.

    Very friendly staff, excellent facilities and a beautiful location. Loved the town and found the rooms to be very spacious and comfortable.

    Staff member in breakfast room asking everyone to finish up at 10.50a so room could be sorted for lunch. Perhaps last breakfast time should be 10am not 10.30 if preparation time is an issue for the hotel.

    The sink in the bathroom was blocked but went down slowly. Breakfast was good we came down at 9.30 but the food could have been hotter.

    Breakfast was good but dinner was less so. Too much food on the plate and thus wasteful.

    The only negative point I would say is the food in restaurant was not the best & at breakfast, the bacon didn't look that well cooked, so did not have it.

    Excellent staff, very clean, room spotless, comfortable bed & breakfast was nice, Leisure centre was a plus
