The history of the property provides a opportunity to see some of the history of Ireland. The staff worked diligently to serve us. The golf courses are exceptional and the spa staff was marvelous.

The staff were very professional and friendly throughout our stay. The property is unbelievably beautiful and very well maintained. The facilities really good and our room was great. We will be back with our golf clubs.

I just love this place! It feels like a huge treat to escape here, and yet it so close to Dublin. As soon as I drove in the gates I felt relaxed. Check in was straightforward and speedy. Our room was in the old part of the hotel and it was sumptuous! I had requested a quiet room and it was exactly that. Breakfast was divine and I just wish I could go back soon.

The hotel is beautiful over looking the magnificent golf course. Took a casual bike ride around the grounds. Next time we’ll have lunch by the boat house. Had a wonderful facial. Meals were very good.

The service was poor. The temporary front bar was soulless ( which is understanding considering the renovations) but the service was really poor. The Carriage house looks great but the service for our dinner was terrible. The staff were disinterested and spent their time standing around and talking to each other. We had about 5 different waitresses serving us without one of them taking charge. I feel they all need trained and then managed.
The room was nice and the decor in the restaurant was nice. The front reception were warm and friendly, very welcoming.

Hands down the worst service I've ever had in a hotel. At the bar, even though it was fairly empty and we sat at the bar, we were so long waiting to be served. Then we asked for menus, and no one came back to us to ask us our order. It was so difficult to get the attention of staff. I could understand if it was busy but it wasn't. The next morning we went down for breakfast. There was a queue of roughly 15-20 people waiting outside. I thought there must not be any seats but when we peaked in the whole side on the right was empty yet people were left standing outside. There was one staff member who was clearly flustered trying to deal with the situation and not much other staff. What seemes to be a manager walked by and looked and this queue and carried on even though it was clear residents were becoming frustrated. We were eventually seated and we went to get our breakfast. The lady asked us as she seated us if we would like tea or coffee. She never came back with the tea. The breakfast was just about hot. We went back and ate our breakfast and still had no tea. I had to get up and find a member of staff and when i approached her 3 other people also stood up and siad yes we have been also waiting on our tea. In the time spend in the restaurant, we heard 3 separate plates/ cutlery being dropped my staff members. People were looking at each other is disbelief. It was my first time staying and I was so disappointed at the service.

“Disaster of a hotel”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Stayed 1 night
Service, breakfast, the bar was a disaster.
Renovations going on at the moment, which we were not advised of. Nobody to help with bags on arrival, just do it yourself! On check in, receptionist was distracted trying to multi-task and didn't give us her full attention. Not a good start. Bar was very basic, no nuts or anything on tables, slow to clear tables. The lights in the bar were turned up at 11:30 exactly on a Saturday night to get rid of us, the music in the bar was turned off at 11:30 also, then they started moving furniture and chairs for some function the next day. The bar closed and they didn't even ask if anyone wanted last orders. They just pulled the shutters down abruptly. At check in was offered 2 papers for the next morning to be delivered to the room, was told that would be no problem, but only got one of them. Dinner was ok but waiter was rushing us and came to our table twice for our order when we specifically said we wanted more time to choose wine. Breakfast was a disaster, all the waiting staff are young college students, asked for poached eggs, they never arrived. I had no knife so I asked a waiter for a knife and he gave it to the wrong table beside us. Seriously! Think Fawlty Towers. On the plus side the rooms were very clean but I wouldn't go back and certainly wouldn't recommend it to any friends. Definitely not a 4 star hotel. No way! Not worth €229.

“Good but not as expected.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Stayed 1 night
There were renovations taking place at the time of our stay that was not divulged at the time of booking so we were a shuttle bus away from the main hotel this included getting to the residents bar. Having been told about the hotel and how great it was we were keen to book on that basis, unfortunately it didn't meet the expectations. The make shift reception was not very welcoming and there was a crack in the mirror of the lift. I understand these things happen but for a four star hotel I would expect to be informed of the renovations taking place. We had dinner at the restaurant the staff again were lovely and the food was great we were told we had been on a package for the meal and were confused by this. Upon leaving we actually paid for the rest of the meal - but we did book room only. There was some errors on the receipt then to rectify as there was a clear mix up. It was dealt with in a swift manor by the staff who were extremely helpful. While the spa was nice and the staff again very good, there was multiple routes to the spa and pool and alternative changing rooms for both which was confusing. We were not informed of the direction to exit the spa and ended up in circles two or three times. Unfortunately we just had high expectations and It was not what we had expected when we got there. I'm sure when the reservations are completed it will be to the highest standard again.
The staff were very friendly and helpful and pleasant to deal with. The rooms were clean and a good standard. The spa was very relaxing and the staff were friendly.
