it’s a beautiful property. Our room was very large. as well as the bathroom. lots of lights and electrical outlets, nicely decorated. Beautiful friendly dogs (Molly and Hope), Shetland Ponies. We opted for a more formal dinner and it was delicious.

United States of AmericaEverything was delightful! We could tell it was going to be a fabulous stay by the way the animals were all so relaxed. From Molly greeting us at the door, and Hope giving us the grand tour, to the ponies laying in the sun, they were all content and well cared for. We were amazed at the beauty and grandeur of our room, the friendliness of the staff (and four legged friends), and the central location to so many great sights. Having a few pints in the bar area created such a relaxing tone for our stay. We enjoyed all of our meals. The waitstaff was so friendly and efficient. John gave us sightseeing tips each morning at breakfast which made our drive around Dingle and travels to Kilkee all the better. Thank you so much for everything!

United States of AmericaBreakfast and the bar was wonderful and the staff was so welcoming and warm. Accommodations were fantastic! Didn’t want to leave.
Ellen
United States of America
United States of AmericaAbout the best staff I have ever experienced at a hotel. Example. Upon arrival wearing the same clothes for the last 4 days (United Airlines poor service) the receptionist (Marle) offered to clean our clothes, and they were returned only a couple of hours later. Stunning grounds and interiors. Again, staff, note Esther and Stella in dining (as well as others). I can not recommend more highly this hotel for a "blow out" experience. The two ladies I traveled with found this a highlight of the week in Ireland.
