Lock in a great price for The Dunloe Hotel & Gardens - rated 9.3 by recent guests.

to get started.

Lovely Place, Excellent locations and views, our room was huge and clean, the staff was really friendly and helpful, all the amenities and the leisure stuff, no complains about it. For the family looks really good and for a couple is a perfect spot to have a really private and romantic moment. My wife and I love it...

Rodney, Ireland

We stayed at the hotel we our one year old. We had a fabulous 2 night stay. The facilitates for children were excellent. The food was amazing and all the staff we met from when we arrived until we left were so lovely. I would definitely stay again.

Jill, Ireland

The bed was so comfy and the hotel is really nice will stay again

Gordon, Ireland

Beautiful location. We're tasty food and friendly staff.

Agnieszka, Ireland

We absolutely loved staying here. Such a beautiful location. The kids really loved the pony rides & playground. Will be back again.

Ciara, Ireland

The food in the Restaurant was exceptional and probably the best I've had in any hotel and very reasonably priced for the quality. The staff were extremely pleasant and helpful. The views and scenery were wonderful with a picture-perfect view of the Gap of Dunloe from our bedroom.

Keith, Ireland

Very comfy beds...pony trekking..the view of the gap from the restaurant. Great facilities for kids

Angela, Ireland

The hotel and staff were great and over all the ambuance was good. The breakfast for a 5 star hotel realy let it down. Children running around spilling honey and under your feet. Queing for breakfast, running out of glasses and different foods. My wife had a omlet and it had grit in it and she had to spit it out. My chair was taken when i went to Q for breakfast. Table next to us one morning had nutella all over the table chairs and on the floor. 5 star should be something special and this was not, I would call it a cattle mart. It was our 25th wedding anniversity and the breakfast experience put us off ever going back. I have stayed in a few 5 star hotels in Ireland and this was the worst breakfast experience i ever got.

Declan, Ireland

The only small comment: The fried breakfast would have been much better if guests could have ordered individually - as we have experienced in other hotels in Ireland - rather than take bacon, sausages etc. from trays buffet style. Otherwise breakfast was fab, like the other meals we had at the hotel.

The superior bedroom decor was a bit "dated" but we appreciate that this is a matter of taste. We thought the tartan, blue and burgundy colour scheme was way out of kilter with the stunning foyer/library and restaurant. The room itself was very ordinary for a five star and there wasn't much attention to detail - there's no stocked minibar and there wasn't a coffee machine or kettle - there was nothing really in the room that you wouldn't have in a decent 4 star hotel. There's definitely not a five star feel once you leave the communal parts of the hotel. The pool area is quite limited too with no jacuzzi and a fairly small sauna and steam room. There was modern equipment in the gym but it's just off the pool area and extremely small. I mistakenly thought I had breakfast included but didn't so the €290 room only rate did seem a bit on the steep side if you're to add the buffet breakfast at €20 a head.
The food in the Restaurant was exceptional and probably the best I've had in any hotel and very reasonably priced for the quality. The staff were extremely pleasant and helpful. The views and scenery were wonderful with a picture-perfect view of the Gap of Dunloe from our bedroom.

My son and I didn’t realize that once the sun went down we needed to keep the sliding glass door closed because of knats that love to gather at the lights. Sorry for our ignorance but in case there are more like us I would recommend a “heads up” to your guests !
Meals were wonderful, if there was a more powerful word I would use it ... staff, room was also pure greatness! The grounds had s big influence on my pleasure with your hotel.
